Sharma R, Gupta S, Rathore AS. Novel purification platform based on multimodal preparative scale separation of mAb fragments and aggregates. J Chromatogr A 2024; 1721:464806.

Abstract
Monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) continue to dominate the biopharmaceutical industry. Certain mAbs are prone to fragmentation and clipping and in these cases, adequate removal of these species is critical during manufacturing. Fragments can be generated during fermentation, purification, storage, formulation, and administration. Their addition to the acidic charge-variant of the purified mAb has been reported to decrease stability and potency of the final product. However, contrary to mAb aggregation, manufacturers have not given much attention to removal of fragments and clipped species and as a result most conventional mAb platforms offer at best limited capabilities for their removal. In this study, we propose a novel purification platform that uses multimodal chromatography and achieves complete removal of a range of mAb fragments and clipped products (25-120 kDa). The utility of the platform has been successfully demonstrated for 2 IgG1s and 2 IgG4s. Further, adequate removal of the various host cell impurities such as host cell proteins (<10 ppm) and host cell DNA (<5 ppb) has been achieved. Finally, the platform was able to deliver adequate removal of high molecular weight impurities (<1 %) and a 30 % clearance of the acidic charge variant. The proposed single step has been shown to deliver what the polishing chromatography and intermediate purification chromatography steps deliver in a traditional mAb platform.

Abstract
Fully characterizing the post-translational modifications present in charge variants of therapeutic monoclonal antibodies (mAbs), particularly acidic variants, is challenging and remains an open area of investigation. In this study, to test the possibility that chromatographically separated acidic fractions of therapeutic mAbs contain conformational variants, we undertook a mAb refolding approach using as a case study an IgG1 that contains many unidentified acidic peaks with few post-translational modifications, and examined whether different acidic peak fractions could be generated corresponding to these variants. The IgG1 drug substance was denatured by guanidine hydrochloride, without a reducing agent present, and gradually refolded by stepwise dialysis against arginine hydrochloride used as an aggregation suppressor. Each acidic chromatographic peak originally contained in the IgG1 drug substance was markedly increased by this stepwise refolding process, indicating that these acidic variants are conformational variants. However, no conformational changes were detected by small-angle X-ray scattering experiments for the whole IgG1, indicating that the conformational changes are minor. Chromatographic, thermal and fluorescence analyses suggested that the conformational changes are a localized denaturation effect centred around the aromatic amino acid regions. This study provides new insights into the characterization of acidic variants that are currently not fully understood.

Abstract
Characterization of antibody charge heterogeneity is an important task for antibody drug development. Recently, a correlation between acidic charge heterogeneity and metal-catalyzed oxidation has been observed for antibody drugs. However, to date, the acidic variants induced by metal-catalyzed oxidation have not been elucidated. In addition, it is challenging to satisfactorily explain the induced acidic charge heterogeneity, as the existing analytical workflows, which relied on either untargeted or targeted peptide mapping analysis, could lead to incomplete identification of the acidic variants. In this work, we present a new characterization workflow by combining untargeted and targeted analyses to thoroughly identify and characterize the induced acidic variants in a highly oxidized IgG1 antibody. As a part of this workflow, a tryptic peptide mapping method was also developed for accurate determination of the relative extent of site-specific carbonylation, where a new hydrazone reduction procedure was established to minimize under-quantitation artifacts caused by incomplete reduction of hydrazones during sample preparation. In summary, we identified 28 site-specific oxidation products, which are located on 26 residues and of 11 different modification types, as the sources of the induced acidic charge heterogeneity. Many of the oxidation products were reported for the first time in antibody drugs. More importantly, this study provides new insights to understanding acidic charge heterogeneity of antibody drugs in the biotechnology industry. Additionally, the characterization workflow presented in this study can be applied as a platform approach in the biotechnology industry to better address the need for in-depth characterization of antibody charge variants.

Abstract
Heterogeneity of therapeutic Monoclonal antibody (mAb) drugs are due to protein variants generated during the manufacturing process. These protein variants can be critical quality attributes (CQAs) depending on their potential impact on drug safety and/or efficacy. To identify CQAs and ensure the drug product qualities, a thorough characterization is required but challenging due to the complex structure of biotherapeutics. Past characterization studies for basic and acidic variants revealed that full characterizations were limited to the basic charge variants, while the quantitative measurements of acidic variants left gaps. Consequently, the characterization and quantitation of acidic variants are more challenging. A case study of a therapeutic mAb1 accounted for two-thirds of the enriched acidic variants in the initial characterization study. This led to additional investigations, closing the quantification gaps of mAb1 acidic variants. This work demonstrates that a well-designed study with the right choices of analytical methods can play a key role in characterization studies. Thus, the updated strategies for more complete antibody charge variant characterization are recommended.

Abstract
Despite the recent success of coupling anion exchange chromatography with native mass spectrometry (AEX-MS) to study anionic proteins, the utility of AEX-MS methods in therapeutic monoclonal antibody (mAb) characterization has been limited. In this work, we developed and optimized a salt gradient-based AEX-MS method and explored its utility in charge variant analysis of therapeutic mAbs. We demonstrated that, although the developed AEX-MS method is less useful for IgG1 molecules that have higher isoelectric points (pIs), it is an attractive alternative for charge variant analysis of IgG4 molecules. By elevating the column temperature and lowering the mAb pI through PNGase F-mediated deglycosylation, the chromatographical resolution from AEX separation can be significantly improved. We also demonstrated that, after PNGase F and IdeS digestion, the AEX-MS method exhibited excellent resolving power for multiple attributes in the IgG4 Fc region, including unprocessed C-terminal Lys, N-glycosylation occupancy, and several conserved Fc deamidations, making it ideally suited for multiple attribute monitoring (MAM). Through fractionation and peptide mapping analysis, we also demonstrated that the developed AEX-MS method can provide site-specific and isoform-resolved separation of Fc deamidation products, allowing rapid and artifact-free quantitation of these modifications without performing bottom-up analysis.

Abstract
Capillary electrophoresis (CE), after being introduced several decades ago, has carved out a niche for itself in the field of analytical characterization of biopharmaceutical products. It does not only offer fast separation, high resolution in miniaturized format, but equally importantly represents an orthogonal separation mechanism to high-performance liquid chromatography. Therefore, it is not surprising that CE-based methods can be found in all major pharmacopoeias and are recommended for the analysis of biopharmaceutical products during process development, characterization, quality control, and release testing. Different separation formats of CE, such as capillary gel electrophoresis, capillary isoelectric focusing, and capillary zone electrophoresis are widely used for size and charge heterogeneity characterization as well as purity and stability testing of therapeutic proteins. Hyphenation of CE with MS is emerging as a promising bioanalytical tool to assess the primary structure of therapeutic proteins along with any impurities. In this review, we confer the latest developments in capillary electrophoresis, used for the characterization of critical quality attributes of biopharmaceutical products covering the past 6 years (2015-2021). Monoclonal antibodies, due to their significant share in the market, have been given prioritized coverage.

Abstract
Biopharmaceuticals (recombinant technology-based products, vaccines, whole blood and blood components, gene therapy, cells, tissues, etc.,) are described as biological medical products produced from various living sources such as human, microbial, animal, and so on by manufacturing, extraction, or semi-synthesis. They are complex molecules having high molecular weights. For their safety and efficacy, their structural, clinical, physicochemical, and chemical features must be carefully controlled, and they must be well characterized by analytical techniques before the approval of the final product. Capillary electrophoresis (CE) having versatile modes can provide valuable safety and efficacy information, such as amino acid sequence, size variants (low and high molecular weight variants), charged variants (acidic and basic impurities), aggregates, N-linked glycosylation, and O-linked glycosylation. There are numerous applications of CE in the literature. In this review, the most significant and recent studies on the analysis of recombinant DNA technology-based products using different CE modes in the last ten years have been overviewed. It was seen that the researches mostly focus on the analysis of mAbs and IgG. In addition, in recent years, researchers have started to prefer CE combined mass spectrometry (MS) techniques to provide a more detailed characterization for protein and peptide fragments.

Abstract
The similarity between originator and biosimilar monoclonal antibody candidates are rigorously assessed based on primary, secondary, tertiary, quaternary structures, and biological functions. Minor differences in such parameters may alter target-binding, potency, efficacy, or half-life of the molecule. The charge heterogeneity analysis is a prerequisite for all biotherapeutics. Monoclonal antibodies are prone to enzymatic or non-enzymatic structural modifications during or after the production processes, leading to the formation of fragments or aggregates, various glycoforms, oxidized, deamidated, and other degraded residues, reduced Fab region binding activity or altered FcR binding activity. Therefore, the charge variant profiles of the monoclonal antibodies must be regularly and thoroughly evaluated. Comparative structural and functional analysis of physically separated or fractioned charged variants of monoclonal antibodies has gained significant attention in the last few years. The fraction-based charge variant analysis has proved very useful for the biosimilar candidates comprising of unexpected charge isoforms. In this report, the key methods for the physical separation of monoclonal antibody charge variants, structural and functional analyses by liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry, and surface plasmon resonance techniques were reviewed.

Abstract
Charge variants are the most commonly observed sources of heterogeneity in the routine manufacturing of monoclonal antibodies. To gain further insight into the structural foundation of charge heterogeneity and its influence on biological functions, an infliximab biosimilar HS626 from a biopharmaceutical facility was isolated by semipreparative cation exchange chromatography (CEX) to obtain fractions of acidic and basic charge variants and determine the main species. It was assessed again by CEX to ensure purities. Through a series of structural and physicochemical characterizations, we concluded that the acidic variants were caused by fragments, Met oxidation, Asn deamidation, higher levels of sialylation and galactosylation of N-linked glycans, and less high mannose. The basic variants resulted mainly from aggregates, fragments, and Met oxidation. Through further analysis of antigen binding affinity, cell death inhibitory activity, ADCC, and CDC, as well as FcRn, FcγRIIIa, and C1q affinity, we demonstrated that the charge heterogeneity did not affect biological functions. This research enhances the understanding of charge variants, which are usually effective components that should not be intentionally reduced unless biological functions are affected.

Abstract
Herein, we described a scale-up strategy focused on the dissolved carbon dioxide concentration (dCO2 ) during fed-batch cultivation of Chinese hamster ovary cells. A fed-batch culture process for a 2000-L scale stainless steel (SS) bioreactor was scaled-up from similarly shaped 200-L scale bioreactors based on power input per unit volume (P/V). However, during the 2000-L fed-batch culture, the dCO2 was higher compared with the 200-L scale bioreactor. Therefore, we developed an alternative approach by evaluating the kL a values of O2 (kL a[O2 ]) and CO2 [kL a(CO2 )] in the SS bioreactors as a scale-up factor for dCO2 reduction. The kL a ratios [kL a(CO2 )/kL a(O2 )] were different between the 200-L and 2000-L bioreactors under the same P/V condition. When the agitation conditions were changed, the kL a ratio of the 2000-L scale bioreactor became similar and the P/V value become smaller compared with those of the 200-L SS bioreactor. The dCO2 trends in fed-batch cultures performed in 2000-L scale bioreactors under the modified agitation conditions were similar to the control. This kL a ratio method was used for process development in single-use bioreactors (SUBs) with shapes different from those of the SS bioreactor. The kL a ratios for the SUBs were evaluated and conditions that provided kL a ratios similar to the 200-L scale SS bioreactors were determined. The cell culture performance and product quality at the end of the cultivation process were comparable for all tested SUBs. Therefore, we concluded that the kL a ratio is a powerful scale-up factor useful to control dCO2 during fed-batch cultures.

Abstract
Over the past decade, global interest in the development of therapeutic monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) has risen rapidly. As therapeutic agents, antibodies have shown marked efficacy in combatting a range of cancers and immune diseases with high target specificity and low toxicity (Carla Lucia et al. in PLoS ONE 6:e24071, 2011; Donaghy in MAbs 8:659-671, 2016; Nasiri et al. in J Cell Physiol 9:6441-6457, 2018; Teo et al. in Cancer Immunol Immunother 61:2295-2309, 2012). Recent advances in cell culture technology, such as high-throughput clone screening, have facilitated antibody production at concentrations exceeding 10 g/L (Chen et al. in BMC Immunol 19:35, 2018; Huang et al. in Biotechnol Prog 26:1400-1410, 2010; Lu et al. in Biotechnol Bioeng 110:191-205, 2013; Singh et al. in Biotechnol Bioeng 113:698-716, 2016). As titers have improved, the industry has begun to focus on the adjustment of target antibody quality profiles to improve efficacy. Cell lines, culture media, and culture conditions impact protein quality (Van Beers and Bardor in Biotechnol J 7:1473-1484, 2012). Optimization of critical quality attributes (CQAs), such as charge variants, can be achieved through bioprocess development and is the preferred approach as changes to the cell line or growth media used is considered unfavorable by regulatory bodies (Gawlitzek et al. in Biotechnol Bioeng 103:1164-1175, 2009; Jordan et al. in Cytotechnology 65:31-40, 2013; Pan et al. in Cytotechnology 69:39-56, 2016). In this study, the effect of process control and ion supplementation on charge variants of mAbs produced by Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells was investigated. Results of this study demonstrated that the concentration of Zn2+, duration of culturing, and temperature affect charge variants of a given mAb. Under the optimum conditions of 3L bioreactors, the most significant was that Zn2 + and temperature shift could further improve the quality of antibody. The main peak increased by 12%, and the acid peak decreased by 16%. At the same time, there was no significant loss of titer. This study provided supporting evidence for methods to improve charge variants arising during mAb production.

Abstract
The pharmaceutical industry's interest in monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) and their derivatives has spurred rapid growth in the commercial and clinical pipeline of these effective therapeutics. The complex micro-heterogeneity of mAbs requires in-depth structural characterization for critical quality attribute assessment and quality assurance. Currently, mass spectrometry (MS)-based methods are the gold standard in mAb analysis, primarily with a bottom-up approach in which immunoglobulins G (IgGs) and their variants are digested into peptides to facilitate the analysis. Comprehensive characterization of IgGs and the micro-variants remains challenging at the proteoform level. Here, we used both top-down and middle-down MS for in-depth characterization of a human IgG1 using ultra-high resolution Fourier transform MS. Our top-down MS analysis provided characteristic fingerprinting of the IgG1 proteoforms at unit mass resolution. Subsequently, the tandem MS analysis of intact IgG1 enabled the detailed sequence characterization of a representative IgG1 proteoform at the intact protein level. Moreover, we used the middle-down MS analysis to characterize the primary glycoforms and micro-variants. Micro-variants such as low-abundance glycoforms, C-terminal glycine clipping, and C-terminal proline amidation were characterized with bond cleavages higher than 44% at the subunit level. By combining top-down and middle-down analysis, 76% of bond cleavage (509/666 amino acid bond cleaved) of IgG1 was achieved. Taken together, we demonstrated the combination of top-down and middle-down MS as powerful tools in the comprehensive characterization of mAbs.

Combination of temperature shift and hydrolysate addition regulates anti-IgE monoclonal antibody charge heterogeneity in Chinese hamster ovary cell fed-batch culture. Cytotechnology 2018; 70:1121-1129.

Abstract
Charge heterogeneity has been broadly studied as a critical quality attribute during monoclonal antibody (mAb) production that may subsequently affect product stability and biopotency. However, the charge variation distribution is poorly controlled, so methods of more effective control need to be explored. In this study, the combined effects of temperature shift (37-34, 37-32, or 37-30 °C) and hydrolysate addition (0.100 g/L) to culture feed on the charge heterogeneity of anti-IgE mAb were investigated. The results showed that the distribution of charge variation was significantly regulated by the combination of hydrolysate addition with a highly sub-physiological temperature (34 °C). In addition, under this condition, the main peak content significantly increased, and the acidic peak content significantly decreased. Furthermore, we explored Lys variant content, which is the major basic variant content, as well as its relationship with temperature shift and hydrolysate addition. Lys variant levels were positively related to the Lys and Arg concentrations in the medium and negatively related to carboxypeptidase B and carboxypeptidase H transcript levels. The combination of temperature shift and hydrolysate addition can thus effectively improve anti-IgE mAb charge heterogeneity and significantly increase main variant levels and decrease acidic variant levels.

Abstract
An isoelectric focusing method (IEF) has been used to assess the charge heterogeneity profile of a monoclonal antibody during the early stages of product development. A more precise and sensitive ion exchange chromatography (IEC/CEX) method was developed and implemented as development progressed and was used concurrently with IEF for lot release and to monitor charge heterogeneity. Charge variants resolved by both methods (IEC and IEF) were purified and characterized. Tryptic peptide mapping and N- linked oligosaccharide profile analyses of the IEC and IEF fractions indicated a structural correlation between the charge variants separated by these two methods. The major sources of molecular heterogeneity were due to the variation in the sialyated carbohydrate structure and heavy chain C-terminal lysine truncation. By monitoring the rates of change in the charge heterogeneity profiles of the monoclonal antibody stored at elevated temperatures by the IEC and IEF methods, a positive correlation between the two methods was established. This approach enabled replacement of the IEF method with the more precise IEC method.

Abstract
Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells are the most common cell line used for the production of therapeutic proteins including monoclonal antibodies (mAbs). Host cell proteins (HCPs), secreted and released from lysed cells, accumulate extracellularly during the cultures of recombinant CHO (rCHO) cells, potentially impairing product quality. In an effort to maintain good mAb quality during the cultures, HCPs accumulated extracellularly in batch and fed-batch cultures of a mAb-producing rCHO cell line were identified and quantified by nanoflow liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry, followed by their gene ontology and functional analysis. Due to higher cell concentration and longer culture duration, more HCPs were identified and quantitated in fed-batch culture (2145 proteins identified and 1673 proteins quantified) than in batch culture (1934 proteins identified and 1486 proteins quantified). Clustering analysis of HCPs showed that the concentration profiles of HCPs affecting mAb quality (Lgmn, Ctsd, Gbl1, and B4galt1) correlated with changes in mAb quality attributes such as aggregation, charge variants, and N-glycosylation during the cultures. Taken together, the dataset of HCPs obtained in this study provides insights into determining the appropriate target proteins to be removed during both the cultures and purification steps for ensuring good mAb quality.

Abstract
Out of all categories, monoclonal antibodies (mAbs), biosimilar, antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) and Fc-fusion proteins attract the most interest due to their strong therapeutic potency and specificity. Because of their intrinsic complexity due to a large number of micro-heterogeneities, there is a crucial need of analytical methods to provide comprehensive in-depth characterization of these molecules. CE presents some obvious benefits as high resolution separation and miniaturized format to be widely applied to the analysis of biopharmaceuticals. CE is an effective method for the separation of proteins at different levels. capillary gel electrophoresis (CGE), capillary isoelectric focusing (cIEF) and capillary zone electrophoresis (CZE) have been particularly relevant for the characterization of size and charge variants of intact and reduced mAbs, while CE-MS appears to be a promising analytical tool to assess the primary structure of mAbs and related products. This review will be dedicated to detail the current and state-of-the-art CE-based methods for the characterization of mAbs and related products.
