Abstract:
:C-terminal lysine (C-K) variants are commonly observed in therapeutic monoclonal antibodies and recombinant proteins. Heterogeneity of C-K residues is believed to result from varying degree of proteolysis by endogenous carboxypeptidase(s) during cell culture production. The achievement of batch-to-batch culture performance and product quality reproducibility is a key cell culture development criterion. Understanding the operational parameters affecting C-K levels provides valuable insight into the cell culture process. A CHO cell line X expressing a recombinant antibody was selected as the model cell line due to the exhibited sensitivity of its C-K level to the process conditions. A weak cation exchange chromatography (WCX) method with or without carboxypeptidase B (CpB) treatment was developed to monitor the C-K level for in-process samples. The effects of operating conditions (i.e., temperature and culture duration) and media trace elements (copper and zinc) on C-K variants were studied. The dominant effect on C-K level was identified as the trace elements concentration. Specifically, increased C-K levels were observed with increase of copper concentration and decrease of zinc concentration in chemically defined medium. Further, a hypothesis for C-K processing with intracellular and extracellular carboxypeptidase activity was proposed, based on preliminary intracellular carboxypeptidase Western blot results and the extracellular HCCF holding study.
