A critical evaluation of self-interaction chromatography as a predictive tool for the assessment of protein-protein interactions in protein formulation development: a case study of a therapeutic monoclonal antibody
Abstract
The aim of this study was to establish and evaluate a screening method for the physical characterization of protein-protein interactions of therapeutic proteins based on the determination of the osmotic second virial coefficient (B(22)). B(22) of an IgG1 was measured by self-interaction chromatography (SIC) and was compared to data obtained from static light scattering (SLS). As assessed by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), the protein coupling to chromatography particles had no relevant influence on the three-dimensional native structure of the IgG1. B(22) variations could be measured for physiological relevant excipient concentrations. Significant positive B(22) values were observed for the following solution conditions of the investigated antibody: (i) acidic pH conditions, (ii) low buffer concentrations, (iii) low salt concentrations and (iv) high amino acid concentrations. B(22) was compared to IgG1 stability data derived from a study conducted for 12weeks at 40 degrees C. A concentration of 5mM histidine, which was the most promising buffer candidate according to B(22), showed a slightly better physical stability (as assessed by turbidity and size exclusion chromatography) compared to the other tested formul...Continue Reading

Bacterial Cell Wall Structure (ASM)
Bacterial cell walls are made of peptidoglycan (also called murein), which is made from polysaccharide chains cross-linked by unusual peptides containing D-amino acids. Here is the latest research on bacterial cell wall structures.
