Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the field of monoclonal antibody drug analysis, and particularly relates to a method for determining the desugared intact molecular weight and the desugared reduced molecular weight of a monoclonal antibody. Background Art

[0002] Monoclonal antibody (abbreviated as MAb) is a complex high-molecular glycoprotein with a complex three-dimensional structure, in which glycosylation mainly occurs in the endoplasmic reticulum and Golgi apparatus, and is a complex post-translational modification. According to the mechanism of action of monoclonal antibodies, as well as the complexity of glycoprotein structure and glycan structure, antibody drugs are actually a mixture of proteins with different glycoforms, but when confirming the structure of monoclonal antibodies, the overall structural level of glycoproteins is usually tested. At this time, different glycoforms will directly affect the accuracy of structural confirmation. Since the accuracy of the molecular weight of monoclonal antibodies is directly related to the protein level and glycoform of monoclonal antibodies, it is very necessary to study their structure after sugar cleavage. In the similarity study between biosimilars and original drugs, the similarity study between biosimilars and original drugs should at least include quality attribute similarity study and stability similarity study. Among them, the quality attribute similarity study usually includes protein structure confirmation and physicochemical properties, purity and impurities, biological activity, immunological properties, etc. Protein structure confirmation is the focus of quality attribute similarity research, and the structure of glycoproteins, in addition to the similarity of the overall glycoprotein structure, needs to examine the similarity of protein structures produced by different cell lines. Therefore, the confirmation of the post-deglycosylation structure is also one of the important contents of the similarity assessment between antibody biosimilars and original drugs. Most of the currently approved monoclonal antibodies are based on IgG (Immunoglobulin G). IgG antibodies have a conserved N-glycosylation site in the CH2 domain of the Fc part, usually located at Asn297. Another part of the IgG glycosylation site is located in the Fab region. Both sites are located on the heavy chain. Since the production process of glycoproteins is biosynthetic in nature, different cells produce different glycoforms, and the glycosylation sites and glycosylation of the two heavy chains are asymmetric, it is necessary to increase the structural study of the protein after removing the glycans on the basis of studying the complete protein. The combination of high performance liquid chromatography and high resolution mass spectrometry to determine the molecular weight of monoclonal antibodies has the characteristics of high resolution, strong sensitivity and good specificity. Among them, the ionization effect of ESI is softer and less likely to produce fragments. It is the most commonly used mass spectrometry mode in the characterization of macromolecules. The basic principle of mass spectrometry is to ionize the components in the sample in the ion source to generate charged ions with different charge-to-mass ratios. After the action of the accelerating electric field, an ion beam is formed and enters the mass analyzer. In the mass analyzer, the electric field and magnetic field are used to cause opposite velocity dispersion, and they are focused separately to obtain a mass spectrum to determine their mass. Due to the particularity of the mass spectrometry principle, the use of ion pair reagents and non-volatile reagents needs to be reduced in the pretreatment process, and the use of mass-to-charge ratio reagents that affect protein binding in a high temperature environment needs to be avoided. Therefore, it is necessary to develop a system and method with good mass spectrometry compatibility. PNGase F is an amidase, which is the most effective enzymatic method for removing N-sugars from glycoproteins. It can cut between the innermost GlcNAc and asparagine residues. There are many options on the market, including fast enzymes and ordinary enzymes that require overnight digestion, and they are all equipped with digestion buffers, whose components are basically SDS, triton ion pair reagents, protease inhibitors, and pH buffers. However, in actual operation, the supporting buffer system is complex and uncontrolled, and the ion pair reagents in the buffer system will affect the subsequent analysis of other protein products and are incompatible with protein spectrum analysis. Therefore, the desugaring system needs to be optimized during the research process. Due to the high folding of proteins and the morphology of spatial stereostructure, denaturation treatment is required during the structural confirmation process, but improper denaturation can easily change the solubility of proteins, and protein precipitation occurs during the pretreatment process. If the desugaring reduction molecular weight of monoclonal antibodies needs to be measured, the system becomes more complicated due to the addition of reducing agents and alkylating agents during the reduction and alkylation process. If precipitation occurs in the experiment, the protein concentration will change during subsequent operations, which will have a great impact on subsequent research. When denaturation and sugar cleavage are processed simultaneously, the concentration of the denaturant can easily affect the efficiency of sugar cleavage, resulting in incomplete sugar cleavage, mis-cleavage or missed cleavage, thus making the morphology of glycoproteins in the sample more complex. Therefore, it is urgent to establish an efficient and rapid pre-treatment method for the deglycosylated molecular weight and reduced molecular weight of the sample. Summary of the invention
