A specific non-competitive enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) has been developed for detecting and quantifying protein A (SpA), present as a trace contaminant of therapeutic murine monoclonal antibodies (McAb) purified on immobilized SpA preparations. The assay employs a microtitration plate system, in which affinity-selected chicken anti-SpA antibodies from the egg yolks of immunized hens provide a specific capture antibody, followed by the addition of standards or sample with a McAb concentration of 1 mg/ml, in conditions unfavourable for Fc binding, and finally an affinity-selected rabbit anti-SpA peroxidase label. The working range of this assay is between 0.5 and 10.0 ng/ml (CV less than 5%), with a lower limit of detection of 0.2 ng/ml (CV less than 10%). This assay was used to evaluate SpA leakage when purifying a serum-free murine IgG1 cell culture supernatant using SpA immobilized on agarose (Protein A-Sepharose CL-4B) or controlled pore glass (Prosep A, high capacity). These gave average antibody SpA contamination levels of 6.7 +/- 1.6 and 2.4 +/- 0.5 (mean +/- SD) parts per million respectively.
已开发出一种特定的非竞争性酶联免疫吸附测定法(ELISA),用于检测和定量蛋白A(SpA),其作为在固定化SpA制剂上纯化的治疗性鼠单克隆抗体(McAb)的痕量污染物存在。该测定法采用微量滴定板系统,其中来自免疫母鸡蛋黄的亲和选择鸡抗SpA抗体提供特异性捕获抗体,随后在不利于Fc结合的条件下加入浓度为1mg/ml的McAb标准品或样品,最后加入亲和选择的兔抗SpA过氧化物酶标记物。该测定法的工作范围在0.5至10.0ng/ml之间(变异系数小于5%),检测下限为0.2ng/ml(变异系数小于10%)。该测定法用于评估使用固定在琼脂糖(蛋白A-琼脂糖CL-4B)或可控孔径玻璃(Prosep A,高容量)上的SpA纯化无血清鼠IgG1细胞培养上清液时SpA的泄漏情况。这些分别给出了平均抗体SpA污染水平为百万分之6.7±1.6和2.4±0.5(平均值±标准差)。
