  • Title: HIC resolution of an IgG1 with an oxidized Trp in a complementarity determining region.
    Author: Boyd D, Kaschak T, Yan B.
    Journal: J Chromatogr B Analyt Technol Biomed Life Sci; 2011 Apr 15; 879(13-14):955-60. PubMed ID: 21440514.
    Abstract:
    Susceptibility of tryptophan (Trp) in a complementarity-determining region (CDR) to oxidation is a significant issue for recombinant monoclonal antibody (mAb) therapeutics due to the clinical efficacy and stability concerns. Here we present a case study using hydrophobic interaction chromatography (HIC) to separate an oxidized Trp containing population of an IgG1. The best separation was achieved using dual Dionex ProPac HIC-10 columns, and the oxidized Trp population was isolated as a separated pre-peak. Peptide map analysis revealed that the oxidized Trp is located in a heavy chain CDR. In addition, the HIC method was capable of monitoring the oxidation status of the CDR Trp, as the oxidation rate of the CDR Trp measured by HIC directly correlated with the results of the peptide maps. The same method conditions were also capable of separating oxidized methionine (Met) and isomerization/deamidation products, which co-elute as another pre-peak at a different retention time from the oxidized Trp species. These observations indicate that the HIC procedure can be utilized to monitor the oxidative status of the CDR Trp in the IgG1.
