Abstract
Aspartate isomerization is a common post-translational modification of recombinant proteins during manufacture process and storage. Isomerization in the complementarity-determining regions (CDRs) of a monoclonal antibody A (mAb-A) has been detected and has been shown to have impact on the binding affinity to the antigen. In this work, we utilized a mass spectrometry-based peptide mapping approach to detect and quantitate the Asp isomerization in the CDRs of mAb-A. To routinely monitor the CDR isomerization of mAb-A, a focused peptide mapping method utilizing reversed phase chromatographic separation and UV detection has been developed and qualified. This approach is generally applicable to monitor isomerization and other post-translational modifications of proteins in a specific and high-throughput mode to ensure product quality.
