Strong anion exchange (Q) chromatography has become an industry standard in the polish purification steps of mAb production. It is a proven technology to remove DNA, viruses, endotoxins and acidic host cell proteins from process feed streams in flowthrough mode. As the industry pursues an increasing interest in downstream single-use technologies and flexible biomanufacturing due to advancements in cell culture technology and the emergence of cost-sensitive biosimilars, conventional purification technologies present limitations. Despite their high binding capacity, traditional resin-based chromatography…
For HIC separations, parameters other than resin surface modifications can be employed to enhance performance. This application note addresses the electrolyte composition of the mobile phase as one parameter responsible for protein adsorption and desorption. The results presented illustrate the benefits regarding capacity and selectivity in HIC of often neglected salts and their mixtures.
Recent research has shown an interest in mAb half-bodies as therapeutic vectors as they can be further targeted for conjugation, enzyme labeling, or antibody immobilization. The TSKgel SuperSW mAb HR is able to achieve high resolution between the mAb monomer, the mAb half-body, and fragments due to its unique pore-controlled technology optimized for mAb analysis, as well as its smaller 4 μm particle size.
Recombinant monoclonal antibodies (MAbs) maintain their ranking as the best-selling class of biologic drugs. The introduction of high titer bioprocessing for the majority of these MAb products has focused efforts towards maintaining desired quality attributes and reducing time to market. Furthermore, patents covering several blockbuster MAbs and the expression technologies, which facilitate their high-level expression, are due to expire over the next decade. A wave of second generation or “follow-on” biopharmaceuticals/bioprocesses will therefore be vying for market share and regulatory approval. Consequently, should biopharmaceutical manufacturing companies rely on traditional “platform” methods of cell line development (CLD), which are well known but yield extensive variation and unpredictable stability of expression, or invest in emerging technologies, which offer the potential of greater reproducibility and speed? Enabling technologies in this area include host cell engineering, engineered expression vectors, and rapid transient gene expression. Given the well-known mantra “the product is the process”, implementation of these disruptive technologies will require a thorough understanding of how changes at the CLD-phase affect key production process characteristics such as high cell-specific productivity, correct product processing and rapid cell proliferation. Traditionally, CLD optimisation is carried out using a lengthy trial-and-error approach where cells are treated as a “black box” and characteristics are iteratively improved. Further advancement in CLD is therefore likely to benefit from the tools of systems biology. These tools will ensure that future CLD manipulations will be informed by an understanding of the genetic, regulatory, and metabolic networks that determine key process characteristics during a production process.
An increase in the number of cells growing in cell culture is the result of two opposing effects: an increase in the number of cells that traverse the cell cycle and divide into two daughter cells (mitosis), or a decrease in the number of cells that die according to different modalities, the most prominent one being apoptosis (1), or both. Insulin and IGF-I are both capable of facilitating cell progression through the cell cycle, and of inhibiting apoptotic mechanisms. In…
“Protein A resins constitute a substantial cost in state-of-the-art mAb purification processes. Factors such as operating cycles, capacity, and mAb titer can have an impact on total costs associated with mAb purification. The purification of a monoclonal antibody from crude feed stock using TOYOPEARL® AF-rProtein A HC-650F, a high capacity protein A resin from Tosoh Bioscience, show that this particular high capacity protein A resin delivers highly pure antibodies at yields approaching 90%.”
