PG - 105457 LID - S1046-5928(19)30335-3 [pii] LID - 10.1016/j.pep.2019.105457 [doi] AB - Despite the use of knobs-into-holes (KiH) strategy to promote heterodimerization in recombinant production of bispecific antibody (bsAb), homodimer (especially the hole-hole homodimer) can still be generated in small amount. This by-product needs to be removed by downstream process. However, as homodimer and the target bsAb are usually very close in size, these two species may not be readily differentiated using size-exclusion chromatography-high performance liquid chromatography (SEC-HPLC). Thus, method other than SEC-HPLC needs to be developed to monitor removal of this by-product. Here, through a case study we demonstrate that analytical hydrophobic interaction chromatography (HIC) is a powerful tool for quantitatively monitoring removal of hole-hole homodimer in bsAb purification.
