Monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) have become predominant therapeutics by providing highly specific mechanisms of action enabling treatment of complex diseases. However, mAbs themselves are highly complex and require thorough testing and characterization to ensure efficacy and patient safety. In this regard, fragmentation is a degradation product of concern. The biotechnology industry uses capillary gel electrophoresis (CGE) to quantify fragmentation by electrophoretically resolving size variants, such as products resulting from partial reduction of interchain disulfides. However, standard CGE methods may not adequately separate less typical fragments, particularly when there is minimal size difference to the parent molecule. For mAb-1, a degradant only ∼11 kDa smaller than the intact mAb (∼149 kDa) was unable to be resolved under typical non-reducing conditions, preventing an accurate purity assessment and precluding tracking of product purity within stability studies. To address these deficiencies, a subunit-based non-reducing CGE method was developed to employ IdeS protease to produce F(ab')2 and Fc fragments, which resulted in baseline resolution of the clipped subunit species from its parent species. This enabled more accurate trending of purity throughout stability studies. Method characterization ensured that this subunit method monitored expected impurities observed by intact non-reducing CGE and thus could suitably replace non-reducing CGE in the release and stability testing panel. It also has the potential to replace reducing CGE based on its tracking of the deglycosylated Fc species. We believe this approach of utilizing proteases to develop subunit CGE methods for release and stability can be applied to other molecules when in need of resolving analogous fragments.
