Antibodies mAb

Monoclonal antibodies (mAb's) are immunologically active proteins that have increasingly become the focus of medical research in recent years. Today, a large number of modern pharmaceuticals and therapeutic approaches based on monoclonal antibodies already exist

 

 

The analysis of monoclonal antibodies is usually aimed at separating monomers from dimers, trimers and other aggregates, as these can have a negative impact on the effectiveness of biopharmaceuticals. Furthermore, various fragments of mAb's can also be analysed, e.g. Fc or Fab fragments. The analysis of monoclonal antibodies can be carried out using different chromatographic separation techniques.

Technical Data

SEC is a very suitable and widely used method for the determination of aggregate, monomer and fragment contents of mAb's in analyte solutions. The following manufacturers offer suitable columns for this purpose:

 


1. Size Exclusion Chromatography (SEC)



2. Hydrophobic Interaction Chromatography (HIC)

The separation in hydrophilic interaction chromatography is based on the different surface hydrophobicity of various proteins. If this is the case for the respective analytes, HIC can be used to separate different antibodies from each other, to separate antibodies from other proteins and also to separate antibody aggregates from monomers. The separation of antibody fragments is also possible. The following manufacturers offer suitable columns for this purpose:

 

Tosoh Bioscience™

  • TSKgel Phenyl-5PW
  • TSKgel Ether-5PW
  • TSKgel Butyl-NPR

 

The hydrophobicity of the phases mentioned decreases in the following order: Phenyl-5PW > Ether-5PW > Butyl-NPR

3. Ion Exchange Chromatography

Ion exchange chromatography can be used to separate different antibodies, fragments, aggregates and other proteins.

4. Reversed-Phase Chromatography

Different monoclonal antibodies can also be analysed using reverse-earth phase chromatography.
