    Author: Nebija D, Urban E, Stessl M, Noe CR, Lachmann B.

    Abstract:
    2-DE and MALDI-TOF MS are useful techniques for the quality evaluation of medicinal products derived from recombinant DNA technology. The principal objective of this study has been to evaluate the suitability of 2-DE in combination with MALDI-TOF MS for the quality study of the therapeutic recombinant protein, abatacept. 1-DE SDS-PAGE, under reducing and nonreducing conditions, and 2-DE analysis were used for the assessment of M(r) , pI, and enzymatic deglycosylation efficiency of abatacept. 2-DE allowed the assessment of product identity, purity, charge heterogeneity, isoform pattern, and post-translational modifications. Furthermore, optimization of the deglycosylation procedure, charge heterogeneity, and sample preparation for the subsequent MALDI-TOF MS analysis has been addressed. PMF analysis allowed rapid identity confirmation of abatacept.
