UNDERSTANDING THE PROPENSITY OF SEQUENCE VARIANTS DURING CELL LINE AND CULTURE PROCESS DEVELOPMENT

Sequence variants (SVs) are protein isoforms that contain one or more unintended amino acid substitutions. They can arise at a single amino acid site due to a genetic (RNA/DNA) mutation or at multiple amino acid locations, potentially due to translational errors, also referred to as misincorporations. The ability to detect SVs in protein biotherapeutics is critical due to their potential impact on structural/functional characteristics, safety, and efficacy. Trypsin peptide mapping with liquid chromatography-ultrahigh resolution tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) provides the ideal workflow for the detection, identification, and relative quantitation of both genetic and translational SVs.

How to get speed and depth in your Host Cell Protein (HCP) analysis

Technology Networks

In the rapidly expanding arena of biotherapeutic analysis and bioprocess development, the analysis of host cell proteins (HCP) is transitioning to a new phase. HCPs are contaminants in biotherapeutic drug preparations, often at low ppm concentration levels, and must be monitored due to stability, efficacy and immunogenicity concerns. Often, these protein impurities will be considered Critical Quality Attributes (CQA) and can contribute to an overall risk assessment for the product.
