Glycosylation has been established as playing a pivotal role in various aspects of recombinant monoclonal antibodies (MAbs), ranging from pharmacokinetics to enhancement of effector function. Consequently, characterization of these oligosaccharides is of great importance and requires sensitive analytical techniques. Here we present a method for the rapid elucidation of 3-(acetylamino)-6-aminoacridine-labeled N-glycans present on MAbs using liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry. The technique uses the benefits of ultra-performance liquid chromatography systems in conjunction with small-particle-size amide columns capable of generating a fluorescence glycan profile of a MAb in 30 min, reducing the current run time by a factor of 6. The method is also compatible with online electrospray mass spectrometry, permitting the identification of glycans present. Overall, this strategy allows the confident determination of N-glycans present on recombinant MAbs in a significantly reduced amount of time.

The biological characteristics of early transmitted/founder (T/F) variants are crucial factors for viral transmission and constitute key determinants for the development of better therapeutics and vaccine strategies. The present study aimed to generate T/F viruses and to characterize their biological properties. For this purpose, we constructed 18 full-length infectious molecular clones (IMCs) of HIV from recently infected infants.

Introduction: Japanese encephalitis virus (JEV) and Zika virus (ZIKV) are prevalent in over 80 countries or territories worldwide, causing hundreds of thousands of cases annually. But currently there is a lack of specific antiviral agents and effective vaccines.
Methods: In the present study, to identify human neutralizing monoclonal antibody (mAb) against JEV or/and ZIKV, we isolated ZIKV-E protein-binding B cells from the peripheral venous blood of a healthy volunteer who had received the JEV live-attenuated vaccine and performed 10× Genomics transcriptome sequencing and BCR sequencing analysis, we then obtained the V region amino acid sequences of a novel mAb LZY3412.

The secretory capacity of Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells remains a fundamental bottleneck in the manufacturing of protein-based therapeutics. Unconventional biological drugs with complex structures and processing requirements are particularly problematic. Although engineered vector DNA elements can achieve rapid and high-level therapeutic protein production, a high metabolic and protein folding burden is imposed on the host cell.

Botulinum neurotoxin, produced by the bacterium Clostridium botulinum, causes botulism, a severe, rapidly progressing, and potentially fatal condition. Swift detection of the toxin and timely administration of antitoxin antibodies are critical for effective treatment. The current standard for Botulinum toxin testing is the mouse lethality assay, but this method is time-consuming and requires live animals.

Objective To prepare mouse anti-human lymphocyte activation gene 3 (LAG3) monoclonal antibody (mAb) and perform immunological identification of the antibody. Methods BALB/c mice were immunized with LAG3-mLumin-3T3 cells, which stably express the extracellular and transmembrane regions of human LAG3 in mouse 3T3 cells. The secretion of anti-human LAG3 antibodies in mouse serum was assessed using flow cytometry and immunofluorescence.
