Ion-exchange chromatography coupled to light scattering detectors represents a fast and simple analytical method for the assessment of multiple critical quality attributes (CQA) in one single measurement. The determination of CQAs play a crucial role in Adeno-Associated Virus (AAV)-based gene therapies and their applications in humans. Today, several different analytical techniques, including size-exclusion chromatography (SEC), analytical ultracentrifugation (AUC), qPCR or ELISA, are commonly used to characterize the gene therapy product regarding capsid titer, packaging efficiency, vector genome integrity, aggregation content and other process-related impurities. However, no universal method for the simultaneous determination of multiple CQAs is currently available. Here, we present a novel robust ion-exchange chromatography method coupled to multi-angle light scattering detectors (IEC-MALS) for the comprehensive characterization of empty and filled AAVs concerning capsid titer, full-to-total ratio, absolute molar mass of the protein and nucleic acid, and the size and polydispersity without baseline-separation of both species prior to data analysis. We demonstrate that the developed IEC-MALS assay is applicable to different serotypes and can be used as an orthogonal method to other established analytical techniques.

Background: In Alzheimer's disease (AD), the spread of Tau proteopathic seeds across the cerebral cortex parallels the disease progression. Previously, it was shown that isolating high-molecular-weight (HMW) Tau species via size exclusion chromatography (SEC) from human brain lysate of AD patients resulted in the enrichment of Tau aggregation-prone species. However, whether the HMW Tau population contain a homogenous or heterogeneous mixture of Tau species is still unknown.

High-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) is a noninvasive soft tissue ablation technique, which utilizes ultrasound energy to induce thermal coagulation necrosis in targeted tissues. Whether this high energy causes side effects in vivo, such as the formation of peptide bonds, has not been fully investigated. Glycylglycine is the simplest dipeptide and hence is often used as a model compound for peptide studies.

Fibrinolytic enzymes are promising in treating cardiovascular diseases due to their capacity to dissolve blood clots. The fibrinolytic enzyme from Arthrospira platensis (FEAP) was purified by ion exchange chromatography to investigate its ability to activate plasminogen, as well as its thrombolytic and fibrinogenolytic potential. Subsequently, two different cytotoxic assays (MTT and NR) and hemolysis test were performed to evaluate FEAP's safety.

Development of a next-generation chromatographic model, capable of simultaneously meeting academic demands for thermodynamic consistency and industrial requirements in everyday project work, has become a focal point of research. In this study, anti-Langmuirian to Langmuirian (AL-L) elution behavior was observed in cation-exchange chromatographic separation of charge variants of industrial Fc-fusion proteins. To characterize this behavior, the multi-protein Mollerup activity model was integrated into the steric mass action (SMA) model, resulting in a new model named the generalized ion-exchange (nGIEX) isotherm for multi-protein systems.
