Abstract

Recombinant human monoclonal antibodies have become important protein-based therapeutics for the treatment of various diseases. An IgG1 molecule, which is now mainly used for antibody preparation, consists of a total of 12 immunoglobulin domains. Each domain has one disulfide bond. The CH3 domain is the C-terminal domain of the heavy chain of IgG1. The disulfide bonds of some of the CH3 domains are known to be reduced in recombinant human monoclonal antibodies. The lack of intramolecular disulfide bonds may decrease the stability and increase the aggregation propensity of an antibody molecule. To investigate the effects of a reduced disulfide bond in the CH3 domain on conformational stability and aggregation propensity, we performed several physicochemical measurements including circular dichroism, differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), and 2D NMR. DSC measurements showed that both the stability and reversibility of the reduced form were lower than those of the oxidized form. In addition, detailed analyses of the thermal denaturation data revealed that, although a dominant fraction of the reduced form retained a stable dimeric structure, some fractions assumed a less-specifically associated oligomeric state between monomers. ...Continue Reading
