Developability Assessment of Engineered Monoclonal Antibody Variants with a Complex Self-Association Behavior Using Complementary Analytical and in Silico Tools.

Monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) are complex molecular structures. They are often prone to development challenges particularly at high concentrations due to undesired solution properties such as reversible self-association, high viscosity, and liquid-liquid phase separation. In addition to formulation optimization, applying protein engineering can provide an alternative mitigation strategy.
