Popis: | A systematic analytical approach combining tryptic and chymotryptic peptide mapping with a Mascot Error Tolerant Search (ETS) has been developed to detect and identify low level protein sequence variants, i.e., amino acid substitutions, in recombinant monoclonal antibodies. The reversed-phase HPLC separation with ultraviolet (UV) detection and mass spectral acquisition parameters of the peptide mapping methods were optimized by using a series of model samples that contained low levels (0.5-5.0%) of recombinant humanized anti-HER2 antibody (rhumAb HER2) along with another unrelated recombinant humanized monoclonal antibody (rhumAb A). This systematic approach's application in protein sequence variant analysis depends upon time and sensitivity constraints. An example of using this approach as a rapid screening assay is described in the first case study. For stable CHO clone selection for an early stage antibody project, comparison of peptide map UV profiles from the top four clone-derived rhumAb B samples quickly detected two sequence variants (M83R at 5% and P274T at 42% protein levels) from two clones among the four. The second case study described in this work demonstrates how this approach can be applied to late stage antibody projects. A sequence variant, L413Q, present at 0.3% relative to the expected sequence of rhumAb C was identified by a Mascot-ETS for one out of four top producers. The incorporation of this systematic sequence variant analysis into clone selection and the peptide mapping procedure described herein have practical applications for the biotechnology industry, including possible detection of polymorphisms in endogenous proteins. |
