PG - 149-155 LID - S0006-291X(22)00514-9 [pii] LID - 10.1016/j.bbrc.2022.04.001 [doi] AB - Bioassays are important for estimating biosimilarity between biological products. Comparability studies including bioassays are needed to demonstrate that a biosimilar product has no meaningful differences that affect safety and efficacy compared with the reference product. Among the most important biological characteristics of therapeutic mAbs are Fc-mediated functions, which induce immune-cell activation which can affect both efficacy and safety. Thus, when developing biosimilar products of therapeutic mAbs, it is necessary to compare the Fc-mediated functions by using various bioassays. Though it is reported that polymorphism of Fcgamma receptors (FcgammaRs) affects Fc-mediated cellular activations of therapeutic mAbs, the impacts of the polymorphism of FcgammaRs on bioassay performance are still unclear. In this study, we evaluated the impact of FcgammaRIIIa-158V/F polymorphism on assay performance in distinguishing differences in the biological activities of therapeutic mAbs. The results showed that different bioassay methods produced different assessments of biological activities of mAbs, and that the FcgammaRIIIa-158V/F polymorphism clearly affected the performance of the FcgammaRIIIa-binding assay using recombinant proteins and FcgammaRIIIa-expressing reporter assays. That is, the assays using the FcgammaRIIIa-158F variant were superior to those using the FcgammaRIIIa-158V variant in distinguishing the difference in FcgammaRIIIa-binding and -activation properties. These results indicate that we should evaluate the comparability of biosimilars by considering the impacts of FcgammaRIIIa-158V/F polymorphism on bioassay performance.
