Size, homogeneity and aggregation aSEC Used to assess purity and estimate size and aggregation state of antibody samples. Higher levels of monomer and low levels of high molecular weight (HMW) and low molecular weight (LMW) species are desired. Purity levels of >90% monomer and <5% HMW are desired for most downstream a...
Identity and homogeneity MS Used to confirm the identity of antibody samples by matching observed mass to sequence predicted mass. Mass confirmation within the expected mass error range of the mass spectrometer is desired to confirm molecular identity. The majority of antibodies produced through AbCellera's high-throug...
Hydrophobicity and homogeneity aHIC Used to assess the hydrophobicity and heterogeneity of antibody samples. Higher levels of a single species (main peak) having shorter retention time indicative of low hydrophobicity is desired. Hydrophobicity is benchmarked against published antibodies in clinical development. The ma...
Thermal stability nDSF Used to assess the thermal stability of antibody samples. Tm and Tagg data are provided, where Tm is the thermal stability as measured by intrinsic fluorescence, and Tagg is the thermal stability as measured by the onset of light scattering due to temperature-induced aggregation. Higher thermal s...
Propensity for self-interaction AC-SINS Used to assess the propensity for antibodies to self-interact. Lower AC-SINS scores are desired. AC-SINS scores are benchmarked against published antibodies in clinical development. The majority of antibodies produced through AbCellera's high-throughput production platform have l...
Polyreactivity BVP-ELISA Used to assess the propensity for antibodies to demonstrate nonspecific binding. Lower BVP scores are desired. BVP scores are benchmarked against published antibodies in clinical development. The majority of antibodies produced through AbCellera's high-throughput production platform have low BV...
