Abstract
Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells are the most commonly used mammalian host cell line for biopharmaceutical production because of their ability to correctly fold and post-translationally modify recombinant proteins that are compatible with human use. Proteomics, along with other "omic platforms," are being used to understand the biology of CHO cells with the ultimate aim to enhance CHO cell factories for more efficient production of biopharmaceuticals. Liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS) for proteomic analysis has become the standard technique for profiling proteomes. There are three stages to a typical bottom-up approach, namely, sample preparation, LC-MS/MS, and data analysis. Although there have been major advances in LC-MS/MS instrumentation and data analysis tools, sample preparation is still the crucial stage that affects the overall efficiency of any proteomic study. In this chapter, we present a comparison of a number of widely used sample preparation methods for proteomic applications, including in-solution digestion and commercially available device-based kits. All methods performed well; however, each method has inherent advantages and disadvantages.
