Application of sample displacement batch chromatography for fractionation of proteoforms.

Fractionation of proteoforms is currently the most challenging topic in the field of proteoform analysis. The need for considering the existence of proteoforms in experimental approaches is not only important in Life Science research in general but especially in the manufacturing of therapeutic proteins (TPs) like recombinant therapeutic antibodies (mAbs). Some of the proteoforms of TPs have significantly decreased actions or even cause side effects.

FLASHDeconv: Ultrafast, High-Quality Feature Deconvolution for Top-Down Proteomics.

Top-down mass spectrometry (TD-MS)-based proteomics analyzes intact proteoforms and thus preserves information about individual protein species. The MS signal of these high-mass analytes is complex and challenges the accurate determination of proteoform masses. Fast and accurate feature deconvolution (i.

Structural and In Vitro Functional Comparability Analysis of Altebrel™, a Proposed Etanercept Biosimilar: Focus on Primary Sequence and Glycosylation.

The demand for reliable comparability studies of biosimilars grows with their increased market share. These studies focus on physicochemical, structural, functional and clinical properties to ensure that a biosimilar has no significant differences to the originator product and can be released into the market without extensive clinical trials. In the current study, Enbrel (etanercept, the originator) and Altebrel™ (the proposed biosimilar) underwent direct comparison.
