  • Title: Capillary electrophoresis-mass spectrometry as a characterization tool for therapeutic proteins.
    Author: Gennaro LA, Salas-Solano O, Ma S.
    Journal: Anal Biochem; 2006 Aug 15; 355(2):249-58. PubMed ID: 16712766.
    Abstract:
    With the increasing use of capillary electrophoresis (CE) in the biotechnology industry, there is a demand for analytical tools and methodology that can be used to characterize CE profiles. This article describes the implementation and optimization of a robust online CE-mass spectrometry (CE-MS) system used for the characterization of several CE assays developed at Genentech Inc. These assays include CE as a complement to reverse-phase peptide mapping for the identification of small peptides eluting in the void volume, profiling N-linked glycopeptide heterogeneity, and determining O-linked site occupancy. In addition, CE-MS was used to confirm major 8-aminopyrene-1,3,6-trisulfonate (APTS)-labeled glycans released from recombinant antibodies that are routinely profiled by CE-laser-induced fluorescence (CE-LIF). For each study, CE-MS was able to successfully identify components seen in UV or LIF electropherograms, thereby expanding the capability of CE and CE-MS for profiling biomolecules.
