The use of HyperCel STAR AX and MEP HyperCel sorbents for MAb polishing provides efficient contaminant removal. A study to screen loading conditions for MAb purification in flow-through mode on MEP HyperCel and HyperCel STAR AX sorbents was conducted using 200 μL ScreenExpert RoboColumns. The study demonstrates the suitability of ScreenExpert RoboColumns for scale down evaluation of chromatographic parameters, and the good consistency with data obtained on 1 mL PRC prepacked columns. ScreenExpert RoboColumns allow loading of high sample volume…

Implementation of Mustang® Q Membrane Chromatography as a Polishing Step (Residual DNA Removal) in Monoclonal IgG1 Production from CHO Cell Culture
In collaboration with ProBioGen AG, Berlin, Germany, Mustang Q membrane chromatography was evaluated as a polishing step following protein A affinity and cation exchange chromatography to remove residual host cell DNA during a Monoclonal antibody (MAb) purification process at 250 L cell culture production-scale. Data indicated efficient DNA clearance by the Mustang Q membrane chromatography step during the process (96%). Additionally, contribution of the Mustang Q membrane chromatography polishing step to HCP removal was shown. Based on a virus-spiking scale-down…
Flow Electroporation Capabilities and Case Studies: Rapid GPCR Screening and Functional Ion Channel Assays
MaxCyte’s proprietary flow electroporation technology has been successfully applied in ex vivo cell therapy (1) and drug discovery pipelines where reproducibility, efficiency and the need for increased cell numbers are critical. This technical paper discusses the merits of transient transfection using flow electroporation versus other recombinant expression approaches and its application in hit identification and lead optimization programs. Data are presented demonstrating the key features of the MaxCyte® STXâ„¢ Scalable Transfection System, including broad applicability, scalability, and the production of…
Delivering Fit-for-Purpose Biomanufacturing CHO Cell Lines
A prerequisite for the successful manufacture of a biopharmaceutical in mammalian cells is a cell line development strategy that selects a cell line with the most desirable properties from a heterogeneous transfectant population. Desirable attributes include the stable, high expression of product with the appropriate critical product quality attributes rapidly, reproducibly and with relative ease. Obtaining a host cell line that inherently exhibits such desirable biomanufacturing attributes can therefore have a significantly positive effect on the identification of recombinant cell…
Assessing Immunogenicity Using Ex Vivo T cell Assays
This article discusses Antitope’s developed highly sensitive ex vivo T cell assay technology that can detect T cell responses against T cell epitopes in therapeutic proteins. These assays can be used to select non-immunogenic lead proteins as well as support the optimisation of leads by engineering out T cell epitopes

Scalable Protein Production Using Flow Electroporation
Many transient gene expression (TGE) methods produce insufficient protein quantities for full use within biotherapeutic and vaccine development pipelines. MaxCyte’s proprietary flow electroporation provides a universal means of highly efficient TGE for the rapid production of large-scale quantities of proteins, antibodies, antibody-like molecules, virus-like particles (VLPs), and vaccines. In addition, the platform can be used for generation of stable pools and stable cell lines that can greatly streamline biotherapeutic and vaccine development. Flow electroporation (co)transfects a wide range of cells,…
