Analyzing mAb Glycosylation at Multiple Levels Using the 6545XT AdvanceBio LC/Q-TOF

David Wong, PhD

Sr. Applications Scientist - LC/MS Solution, MSD Division, Agilent Technologies

Monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) and their derivatives represent a very important class of biopharmaceutical molecules with a wide range of applications. With the dramatic increase in approved mAb products and mAb product sales over the recent years, there is increased need for comprehensive analytical characterization capabilities. mAbs are heterogeneous molecules by nature which are composed of various types of sequences, modifications and structural variants. Protein glycosylation is one of the major post-translational modifications (PTMs) of a mAb that plays an important role in many biological processes. The distribution and composition of the glycans bound to the mAb molecules can have an effect on therapeutic efficacy and immunogenicity, consistent glycosylation-associated quality control of therapeutic monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) has become a high priority in pharmaceutical bioprocessing.

There are typically four levels of LC/MS workflows for Glycan/Glycoforms in characterization: level 1 and level 2 focus on the analysis of glycoforms on the intact and reduced mAb molecules. Level 3 is the analysis of glycopeptide generated from proteolytical digestion of mAbs, commonly part of the peptide sequence mapping workflow. Level 4 is the characterization of glycans that have been released by enzymatic cleavage or other mechanism.

We present here the complete N-glycan quantitation workflow solutions using liquid chromatography (LC) with fluorescence detection (FLD) or mass spectrometry (MS) for four levels of biotherapeutic analysis: intact mass, mAb subunits, glycopeptides, and released glycan. These solutions dramatically improve not only productivity by allowing convenient sample preparation and streamlined data acquisition, but also accuracy in data analysis.

Agilent LC-MS Released Glycan Workflow

Christopher Colangelo, PhD, MBA

Biopharma Business Development Leader

The structure of N-linked glycans can play a critical role in the pharmacology of therapeutic proteins, potentially affecting immunogenicity, pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics. This makes the characterization of N-glycans an essential part of the biotherapeutic development process. Released glycan mapping is the preferred method used to identify glycosylation sites and total glycan composition. We present Agilent’s comprehensive workflow for N-linked glycan utilizing automated N-linked Glycan sample preparation and high-resolution LC-MS data analysis.

Characterization of N-linked glycans with the Released Glycans Workflow of MassHunter Bioconfirm Software

Rebecca Glaskin

Application Scientist, Agilent Technologies

Monoclonal antibodies are heterogeneous molecules that include glycosylation variants, carboxyl truncation, and deamidation that require extensive analytical characterization. These molecules are one of the fastest growing classes in the biopharmaceutical industry. This presentation will discuss a complete workflow for intact monoclonal antibody analysis with the use of the 6545XT AdvanceBio LC/Q-TOF platform and automatic data processing with MassHunter BioConfirm software.

Workflows for Glycosylation and Sialic Acid Analysis of Biotherapeutic Glycoproteins

John Yan, PhD

Applications Chemist for the Bioconsumables portfolio within the Chemistries and Supplies Division of Agilent CrossLab

N-Glycans on biotherapeutics can affect immunogenicity, pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics, making characterization of N-glycans essential in the development process. Here we present rapid N-glycan sample preparation and analysis workflows for biotherapeutics, including released N-glycan labeling with InstantPC and 2-AB for characterization by liquid chromatography (LC) with fluorescence (FLD) and mass spec (MS) detection. In addition, we will discuss approaches to identify different sialylated N-glycan species as well as quantitating the sialic acid content of biotherapeutic glycoproteins using plate-based and LC/FLD/MS approaches.

Rebecca Glaskin
Application Scientist, Agilent Technologies

Biography
Rebecca Glaskin is an LC/MS Application Scientist at Agilent with a focus on BioPharma applications supporting the LC-Q/TOF and IM-QTOF platforms. Prior to joining Agilent, Rebecca received her Ph.D. in analytical chemistry from Indiana University in the lab of Professor David Clemmer. While there she designed and constructed home-built instruments, pushing the limits of the mobility resolution that can be obtained with a circular drift tube for the separation of biomolecules (peptides, proteins, carbohydrates, and metabolites). While there, she also studied hydrogen/deuterium exchange of proteins in the gas-phase as a function of time and pressure. Rebecca then went to Boston University as a Postdoctoral Associate in the lab of Professor Catherine Costello to develop a database containing collision cross section values for glycans, peptides, and glycopeptides utilizing Agilent Technologies 6560 IM-QTOF. This database can be used to determine how the collision cross section is altered with the addition of individual saccharide units. The trendlines obtained from this database will be used to predict collision cross sections for glycopeptides based on the conformation and structure of the specific glycoform.
