The emergence of monoclonal antibody (mAb) therapies has created a need for faster and more efficient bioprocess development strategies in order to meet timeline material demands. In this work, high‐throughput process (HTPD) strategy implementing several chromatography purification techniques is described. Namely, batch incubations are used scout feasible operating conditions, miniature columns then determine separation impurities, and, finally, limited number lab scale tested confirm the...

Abstract Host‐cell proteins (HCPs) are the foremost class of process‐related impurities to be controlled and removed in downstream processing steps monoclonal antibody (mAb) manufacturing. However, some HCPs may evade clearance multiple purification reach final drug product, potentially threatening stability patient safety. This study extends prior work on HCP characterization persistence mAb process streams by using mass spectrometry (MS)‐based methods track through for seven mAbs that were...

Abstract Product association of host‐cell proteins (HCPs) to monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) is widely regarded as a mechanism that can enable HCP persistence through multiple purification steps and even into the final drug substance. Discussion this often implies existence or extent directly related strength binding but actual measurements affinity such interactions remain sparse. Two separate avenues investigation HCP‐mAb are reported here. One measurement individual, commonly persistent...

The growth of advanced analytics in manufacturing monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) has highlighted the challenges associated with clearance host cell proteins (HCPs). Of special concern is removal "persistent" HCPs, including immunogenic and mAb-degrading proteins, that co-elute from Protein A resin can escape polishing steps. Responding to this challenge, we introduced an ensemble peptide ligands target HCPs Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) culture fluids enable mAb purification via flow-through...

Clearance of aggregates during protein purification is increasingly paramount as represent one the major impurities in biopharmaceutical products. Aggregates, especially dimer species, a significant challenge for processing since aggregate separation coupled with high purity recovery can be difficult to accomplish. Biochemical characterization species from hydrophobic interaction and cation exchange chromatography elution peaks revealed two different charged populations, i.e. heterogeneous...

Considerable resources are spent within the biopharmaceutical industry to perform viral clearance studies, which conducted for widely used unit operations that known have robust and effective retrovirus capability. The collaborative analysis from members of BioPhorum Development Group Viral Clearance Working Team considers two common virus reduction steps in processes: low-pH inactivation filtration. Analysis included eight parameters nine extensive data set presented this paper provides...

Abstract The increased cell density and product titer in biomanufacturing have led to greater use of depth filtration as part the initial clarification culture fluid, either a stand‐alone unit operation or after centrifugation. Several recent studies shown that filters can also reduce concentration smaller impurities like host proteins (HCP) DNA, decreasing burden on subsequent chromatographic operations. objective this study was evaluate HCP removal properties Pall PDH4 filter media, model...

Abstract In the production of biopharmaceuticals such as monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) and vaccines, residual amounts host‐cell proteins (HCPs) are among critical quality attributes. addition to overall HCP levels, individual HCPs may elude purification, potentially causing issues in product stability or patient safety. Such persistence has been attributed mainly biophysical interactions between product, resin media, chromatin particles. Based on measurements process streams from seven mAb...

Controlling viral contamination is an important issue in the process development of monoclonal antibodies (MAbs) produced from mammalian cell lines. Virus filtration (VF) has been demonstrated to be a robust and effective clearance step which can provide ≥4 logs reduction via size exclusion. The minimization VF area by increasing flux filter loading critical achieving cost targets as VFs are single use often represent up 10% total purification costs. research presented this publication...
