Abstract

Herein is reported a method for determining bacterial endotoxin at low concentrations in a sample of an antibody (that has been produced using bacterial cells) comprising the following steps in the following order: i) adding magnesium ions to the sample, ii) diluting the sample, iii) dialyzing the sample having a pH-value of 5.7-8.0 against an endotoxin-free aqueous solution, and iv) determining bacterial endotoxin in the sample using a bacterial endotoxin test, particularly the limulus amoebocyte lysate assay.

Description

technical field [0001] This paper reports a bacterial endotoxin test (BET) sample preparation method that overcomes the low endotoxin recovery (LER) effect due to endotoxin shielding. Background technique [0002] Protein therapeutics such as monoclonal antibodies are often produced using genetically transformed eukaryotic and prokaryotic cells such as bacteria. For bacterial production fast growing bacteria such as Escherichia coli (Escherichia coli) are used. However, highly toxic lipopolysaccharide (LPS) is secreted into the medium during growth and culture of recombinant proteins. These components are known as bacterial endotoxins (abbreviated endotoxins). Gram-negative bacteria have LPS as an important component of their cell wall. Gram-negative bacterial cells contain approximately 3.5x 10 5 LPS molecules occupy a total area of ​​about 4.9 μm 2 (Rietschel, 1994, FASEB J. 8:217-225). In the case of E. coli, this means that LPS makes up about three-quarters of the ...
