Many biotherapeutics such as monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) consist of various glycoforms, which can have different PK properties upon administration to animals and human. As a result, it is necessary to monitor the abundance of glycoforms and limit lot-to-lot variability during the manufacturing process. However, limited information is known about the clearance of mAb glycoforms from ocular space upon intravitreal injection. We present here an assessment of glycoform clearance of a biotherapeutic mAb (IgG1) from rabbit vitreous humor, aqueous humor and retina tissue using LC/MS. The results show that G0, G0F and G1F have similar T1/2, while mannose-5 has a longer T1/2 and is cleared slower in rabbit ocular space, which contradicted with what has been reported in the literature in which Mann5 was cleared faster systematically.

Introduction: The binding of the spike (S) protein of SARS-CoV-2 to angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) is a critical stage in the process of infection. While previous studies indicated that the S protein and ACE2 are extensively glycosylated, the functions of glycans in their interactions remain uncertain.

Objectives: This study aimed to investigate the glycan receptors of SARS-CoV-2 and evaluate the inhibitory effects of galactosylated glycoproteins derived from bovine milk on the attachment of SARS-CoV-2 pseudovirus.

Therapeutic monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) are crucial in modern medicine due to their effectiveness in treating various diseases. However, the structural complexity of mAbs, particularly their glycosylation patterns, presents challenges for quality control and biosimilarity assessment. This study explores the use of upper-hinge middle-up (UHMU)-level ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography-high-resolution mass spectrometry (LC-HRMS) analysis to improve N-glycan profiling of mAbs.

Microfluidic capillary electrophoresis - mass spectrometry for rapid charge-variant and glycoform assessment of monoclonal antibody biosimilar candidates.

Early-stage cell line screening is a vital step in developing biosimilars of therapeutic monoclonal antibodies (mAbs). While the quality of the manufactured antibodies is commonly assessed by charge-based separation methods employing UV absorbance detection, these methods lack the ability to identify resolved mAb variants. We evaluated the performance of microfluidic capillary electrophoresis coupled to mass spectrometry (MCE-MS) as a rapid tool for profiling mAb biosimilar candidates from clonal cell lines.
