Quality Control of Intact Recombinant Proteins using Sensitive High-Resolution Mass Spectrometry Arnd Ingendoh, Dirk Wunderlich, Christian Albers Bruker Daltonik GmbH, Bremen, Germany The production of recombinant proteins is one of the fastest growing sectors in the pharmaceutical industry as these proteins are increasingly used as drugs. With this interest in new biopharmaceuticals proper quality control is needed to ensure the use of the right batches in the proteins production. This includes knowledge about the correct amino acid sequence as well as characterization of modification sites. Using a high-resolution instrument is recommended due to the heterogeneity of those samples as well as the advantage of having an exact mass on the intact protein and enzymatic fragments. We use an ultrahigh-resolution QTOF for the LC/MS analysis of various proteins, like recombinant IgG. The IgG was obtained from Chinese Hamster Ovary (CHO) cells. In addition, a mixture of recombinant proteins was obtained from E.Coli cells. Proteins were separated with a Zorbax SBC8, Rapid Resolution Cartridge (2.1 x 30 mm, 3.5 µm) within 15 minutes and analyzed by MS. The resolution and wide mass range of the instrumental setup allowed for discrimination of discrete changes in the glycosylation patterns even for proteins like IgG. Further analysis of the recombinant IgG after reduction and alkylation allowed to measure the MW of the light chain at 25 kDa with 0.2 ppm mass accuracy. The MS spectra of the recombinant E. coli proteins allowed to distinguish between protein monomers and dimers, covering a mass range up to 40 kDa. The data was processed by specially designed software modules, which compare mass patterns and accuracies with expected values ensuring a fast and reliable information retrieval, which is mandatory for quality control. In combination with the possibility of running the intact proteins directly, a high-throughput analysis is possible.
