Fast Afucosylation Profiling of Glycoengineered Antibody Subunits by Middle-Up Mass Spectrometry.

Middle-up LC-MS antibody characterization workflows using reduction or IdeS digestion for a focused assessment of N-glycan profiling of three representative glycoengineered monoclonal antibodies (mAbs), namely, obinutuzumab (GlycomAb technology, Glycart/Roche), benralizumab (Potelligent Technology, BioWa, Kyowa Kirin) and mAb B (kifunensine) and compared to mAb A, produced in a common CHO cell line. In addition, EndoS or EndoS2 enzyme are used for quantitative determination of Fc-glycan core afucosylation and high mannose for these antibodies, as requested by health authorities for Fc-competent therapeutics mAbs critical quality attributes (CQAs).

Determination of size variants by CE-SDS for approved therapeutic antibodies: Key implications of subclasses and light chain specificities.

In the present work, a generic non-reducing capillary electrophoresis sodium dodecyl sulphate (nrCE-SDS) method was tested for a wide range of 26 FDA and EMA approved monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) and 2 antibody drug conjugates (ADCs) as well as for the NISTmab, in a QC environment (e.g. testing quality requirements for batch manufacturing or batch release).

Characterization by liquid chromatography combined with mass spectrometry of monoclonal anti-IGF-1 receptor antibodies produced in CHO and NS0 cells.

7H2HM is a new humanized recombinant monoclonal antibody (MAb) directed against insulin-like growth factor-1 receptor and produced in CHO cells. Homogeneity of intact antibody, reduced light and heavy chains, Fab and Fc fragments were investigated by analytical methods based on mass (SDS-PAGE, SEC), charge (IEF, C-IEX) and hydrophobicity differences (RP-HPLC, HIC) and compared side-by-side with A2CHM, produced in NS0 cells. Primary structures and disulfide bridge pairing were analyzed by microsequencing (Edman degradation), mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF, ES-TOF) and peptide mapping after enzymatic digestion (Trypsin, endoprotease Lys-C, papain).

Reduction of CMP-N-acetylneuraminic acid hydroxylase activity in engineered Chinese hamster ovary cells using an antisense-RNA strategy.

Rodent cells, widely used for the industrial production of recombinant human glycoproteins, possess CMP-N-acetylneuraminic acid hydroxylase (CMP-Neu5Ac hydroxylase; EC 1.14.13.
