New Therapies Present Scaling Challenges
In addition, mammalian cell culture technology has advanced such that producing multi-kilogram quantities of therapeutic mAbs in one batch is now commonplace (1). With a cell therapy, however, establi…

Impact of Media Components on CQAs of Monoclonal Antibodies
Of these, mAbs comprise large, multi-domain proteins that require complex machinery for proper protein folding, assembly, and post-translation modifications. These modifications can profoundly affect …

Antibody Production in Microbial Hosts
Therapeutic mAbs and their derivatives—such as antibody fragments (Fab), single-chain Fv (scFv), and diabodies—represent the fastest-growing class of approved therapeutic proteins because of their hig…
Article
Comparing Protein A Resins for Monoclonal Antibody Purification
As a consequence, downstream processing must accept and handle higher titers of mAbs in harvested cell-culture fluid (HCCF), and vendors of mAb purification technologies must develop chromatography re…

Design Considerations for a Commercial Cell and Gene Therapy Facility
Different from mAbs
Considering the differences between monoclonal antibody (mAb) production and cell/gene therapy production is also important when establishing a cell/gene therapy facility. Al…

N-Glycan Analysis of Biotherapeutic Proteins
Of these, mAbs represent a large proportion of biotherapeutic glycoproteins and account for approximately half of the biopharmaceutical market, a trend that is set to continue with the advent of biosi…
Article
Preclinical Evaluation of Product Related Impurities and Variants
The reversible nature of the modifications that result in the charge heterogeneity of mAbs (particularly that of acidic variants) makes them susceptible to changes over the course of storage. This nec…
Article
Process Chromatography: Continuous Optimization
Generally for mAbs, both strong CEX and AEX resins are preferred, according to Shelly Parra, global field applications senior manager with Thermo Fisher Scientific.
Mixed-mode and multi-mode resin…

QbD and PAT in Upstream and Downstream Processing
It is important to note that mAbs are currently the leading area of biopharmaceutical research. One of the key parameters to monitor in the implementation of QbD in mAb production is the glycosylation…

Advances in Engineering of Protein-Based APIs
Peptides and peptidomimetic therapeutics offer the advantages of mAbs but in smaller molecules that may be formulated for oral delivery.
Advanced modeling tools are enabling the rapid engineerin…
