Oligosaccharides attached to Asn297 in each of the CH2 domains of monoclonal antibodies play an important role in antibody effector functions by modulating the affinity of interaction with Fc receptors displayed on cells of the innate immune system. Rapid, detailed, and quantitative N-glycan analysis is required at all stages of bioprocess development to ensure the safety and efficacy of the therapeutic. The high sample numbers generated during quality by design (QbD) and process analytical technology (PAT) create a demand for high-performance, high-throughput analytical technologies for comprehensive oligosaccharide analysis. We have developed an automated 96-well plate-based sample preparation platform for high-throughput N-glycan analysis using a liquid handling robotic system. Complete process automation includes monoclonal antibody (mAb) purification directly from bioreactor media, glycan release, fluorescent labeling, purification, and subsequent ultra-performance liquid chromatography (UPLC) analysis. The entire sample preparation and commencement of analysis is achieved within a 5-h timeframe. The automated sample preparation platform can easily be interfaced with other downstream analytical technologies, including mass spectrometry (MS) and capillary electrophoresis (CE), for rapid characterization of oligosaccharides present on therapeutic antibodies.
单克隆抗体每个CH2结构域中与天冬酰胺297相连的寡糖,通过调节与先天免疫系统细胞上展示的Fc受体的相互作用亲和力,在抗体效应功能中发挥重要作用。在生物工艺开发的各个阶段都需要快速、详细和定量的N-聚糖分析,以确保治疗药物的安全性和有效性。质量源于设计(QbD)和过程分析技术(PAT)过程中产生的大量样本,对用于全面寡糖分析的高性能、高通量分析技术产生了需求。我们开发了一种基于96孔板的自动化样品制备平台,使用液体处理机器人系统进行高通量N-聚糖分析。完整的过程自动化包括直接从生物反应器培养基中纯化单克隆抗体(mAb)、聚糖释放、荧光标记、纯化以及随后的超高效液相色谱(UPLC)分析。整个样品制备和分析启动在5小时内完成。该自动化样品制备平台可以轻松地与其他下游分析技术连接,包括质谱(MS)和毛细管电泳(CE),用于快速表征治疗性抗体上存在的寡糖。
