Kits and Assays for Host Cell Protein (HCP) Contamination Contaminants from host cells are typically measured by ELISAs or western blots, which suffer long assay times, complex protocols, and small dilutional linear range. MSD offers assays with simple protocols that are usually completed in less than 4 hours. Most assays require few or no wash steps. MSD assays are easy to develop: HCP assays for CHO, E.coli, NS/0, and HEK293 cell lines have been developed with both MSD antibodies and customer antibodies. Using the right antibodies is critical in contamination assays. MSD offers you the choice of readymade kits with commercial antibodies or custom kits that incorporate your processspecific antibodies. Our assay development tools let you build assays without modifying your reagents. Whether you prefer direct immobilization or binding through an intermediate (strepavidin/biotin, antispecies antibodies, Protein A), MSD has the tools you need. MSD Kits for General HCP Contamination Assays MSD offers a preconfigured kit for CHO HCP contamination assays. This kit includes plates precoated with capture antibody, CHO standards, diluents, and prelabeled detection antibodies. The MSD assay is times more sensitive than the comparable ELISA (with the same antibodies). The wide dynamic range (3.5 logs) expands the working range and eliminates the need for large dilutions. The MSD protocol has a single wash step and a total assay time of 4 hours.

Kits and Assays for Host Cell Protein (HCP) Contamination HCP Contamination Assay for Process Specific Applications (Customer Antibodies) MSD users can develop contamination assays that incorporate their processspecific antibodies. Antibodies can be coated directly on MSD plates or immobilized through common biological linkers (e.g. streptavidinbiotin, antispecies antibodies). The HCP assay shown here was developed using customer antibodies in a bridging format. The assay can also be run in a nowash format with only a modest (2.5 fold) loss in sensitivity. HCP Contamination Assay,000 Washed NoWash labeled antibody Host cell protein Biotinlabeled antibody Biotin Streptavidin Electrode Surface 0.1 1 10 Concentration (ng/ml) MSD (wash) MSD (nowash) LOD (ng/ml) 3.9 10 Top (ng/ml) 7,500 7,500 NoWash Assays for Routine Bioprocess Operation In routine operation, Bioprocess assays must be robust and simple. MSD assays have the sensitivity and reproducibility to exceed the requirements of the applications, providing a margin of safety. Simple assay formats and wide dynamic ranges reduce time, labor and error by eliminating dilutions and reducing wash steps. This example shows the MSD CHO HCP contamination assay with a comparison to an ELISA using the same antibodies. It uses a bridging format where the same polyclonal antihcp antibody is used as both capture antibody (in biotinylated form) and detection antibody ( labeled). The assay is 20 times more sensitive than the comparable ELISA. It also has a larger dynamic range NoWash HCP Contamination Assay,000 MSD (nowash) ELISA LOD (ng/ml) 10 200 Top (ng/ml) 7,500 5,000 0.1 1 10 Concentration (ng/ml) Example Protocol 1.

Incubate for 2 hours. 3. Add 75 µl/well of 1X Read Buffer T and analyze plate on SECTOR instrument. 4

Kits and Assays for Impurities and Residual Contamination Methotrexate (MTX) Contamination Kit Methotrexate is used to select highproducing cells. Although MTX helps generate higher yields, MTX contamination is a serious safety issue. MTX is often measured by HPLC, which is time consuming and requires concentration of samples to overcome limitations in sensitivity. MSD offers a method to replace HPLC assays. Our competitive immunoassay shows significantly improved sensitivity (0.01 ng/ml) compared to an HPLC method (1 ng/ml). The assay can be run in a onewash or nowashed format. This assay incorporates a FITClabeled MTX as the tracer and labeled antifitc as the detection antibody. This format is applicable to other competitive immunoassays.

Protein A can leach off columns during product purification. It is often challenging to detect since it may be bound to IgG proteins present in the sample. The MSD Protein A assay has a range from 50 pg/ml to 10 ng/ml when the sample matrix is free of IgG proteins. To buffer the effects of bound IgG, gamma globulin can be added to the assay diluents to extend the assay range from 500 pg/ml to 250 ng/ml. Dissociation protocols may make the assay more sensitive.,000 MSD Protein A Kit γ Globulin Added No lgg labeled antiprotein A antibody Sandwich Format Protein A AntiProtein A antibody 0.0001 0.001 0.01 0.1 1 10 Concentration [ng/ml] Electrode surface MSD Protocol 1.

Multiplex Kits and Assays for Contamination Residual Contamination Multiplex Kit MSD offers other residual protein assays such as insulin, protein A, methotrexate (MTX), cytokines, and extracellular matrix proteins. These assays are available in a single analyte and multiplex kits. Multiplexing combines many assays into a single plate without compromising performance, which leads to savings of both time and cost. CHOHCP Insulin MTX Note: This assay was developed as a custom application. Performance of HCP contamination assays depends on the polyclonal antibodies used in the assay. Similiar assays can be developed using a variety of MSD products including the assay development packs listed on the back cover. Protocol antifitc 1.

Assays for Antibody Screening and Production MSD offers a suite of assays for antibody screening and production. Save time, cost, and sample by eliminating serial dilutions with MSD s expanded dynamic range. Use multiplexing to improve early selection by combining measurements of abundance and specificity. Protein A Coated Plates for IgG Measurements (Sandwich Assay) For increased sensitivity, MSD offers a sandwich immunoassay that uses a plate coated with Protein A (as the capture species) and labeled F(ab) goatantihuman antibody as the detection species. The range of this assay is from 5 ng/ml to 10 µg/ml. This format can also be used to measure high levels of antibody with appropriate dilution. labeled F(ab) lgg LIGHT LIGHT Protein A Sandwich Assay 0.1 10 Concentration [ng/ml] Concentration (ng/ml) 0 0.2 0.6 2.4 9.8 39 156 625 2,500 40,000 Protein A Sandwich Assay Average 672 686 698 808 1,165 2,581 8,906 46,835 146,705 200,520 223,810 StdDev 15 17 9 10 45 121 283 2,634 4,494 13,416 6,817 %CV 2 3 1 1 4 5 3 6 3 7 3 Protein A plate MSD Protocol 1.

Protein A Coated Plates for IgG Measurements (Competition Assay) Our competitive immunoassays are designed for screening for high expressing clones and cells, where antibody levels are high (several mg/ml). MSD s competitive assay uses a plate coated with Protein A to capture antibodies present in the sample and a labeled human IgG as a tracer. The standard assay is completely homogeneous with a large dynamic range (from 0.5 µg/ml to 500 µg/ml). A modified version of the assay (which increases the amount of Protein A on the plate and raises the concentration of the tracer) can extend the upper limits of the dynamic range beyond 500 µg/ml (up to low mgs/ml). labeled human IgG Product Protein A,000 Protein A Competition Assay Low Protein A High Protein A 0 0.1 10 Concentration [µg/ml] Concentration (µg/ml) 0 0.01 0.06 0.39 2.31 13.89 83.33 500 Detection Limit Protein A Competition Assay Average %CV 15,489 6.2 15,156 3.3 12,829 3.1 9,900 3.1 4,160 6.9 1,753 1.2 733 0.8 362 2.1 0.04 µg/ml Protein A Coated 2.1 ng Tracer Concentration 0.31 µg/ml Competition Protocol 1.

Assays for Antibody Screening and Production Light Chain and Heavy Chain Immunoassays LIGHT MSD offers assays to detect intact (whole) antibodies. One format uses antiλ or antiκ light chain antibodies as capture antibodies. This assay detects intact antibodies with a large dynamic range and good sensitivity. The example below shows an assay with antiλ capture antibody and a labeled antihuman heavy chain antibody.

CellBased Antibody Screening Assays MSD enables screening of antibodies against cell surface proteins in whole cells or membranes. 1 Cells readily bind to MSD plates through passive adsorption. These assays can be used in serology, hybridoma screening, to characterize relative binding affinities, to measure cell surface protein abundance, and for building functional binding assays for neutralizing antibodies. A variety of different cell lines, both adherent and suspension, have been tested including: CHO, HEK293, MCF7, BJAB, THP1 and WIL. Assays can be run in well or well plates and can be run with 50015,000 cells per well, offering a significant reduction in the number of cells used. The cells are not fixed or processed, so receptors maintain their natural conformation. Several assays have been developed with a single or nowash format. labeled antilgg Antibody Cell surface protein Cells Carbon electrode MSD Assays to Replace FACS Methods MSD assays can replace FACS analysis for screening antibodies against cellsurface receptors. Unlike FACS, MSD assays do not require purification of receptors, a significant advantage in method development. MSD assays also save direct costs with less expensive reagents.

The relative affinities of the two positives matched those found by FACS analysis. When compared to the FACS protocol, the MSD protocol used about 10 fold less cells with a 20 fold increase in throughput. An entire batch of screening required 1 week through FACS, but could be accomplished in one day on the MSD system. MSD Protocol 1. Add 12,500 cells per well in 50 µl volume. Incubate for 2 hours. 2.

Immunogenicity Immunogenicity testing is a crucial part of biopharmaceutical development. More stringent recommendations regarding immunogenicity assay performance necessitates the development of more robust and tolerant assays. MSD assays exhibit excellent sensitivity, precision, free drug tolerance, and minimal matrix effects. In addition, MSD assays are capable of finding low affinity antibodies during initial screens, and have a large linear range that reduces the number of required sample dilutions. Build assays for many drug types using MSD technology, including antibodies, humanized antibodies, proteins, and peptides with reagents designed to provide a variety of flexible assay formats and facilitate rapid assay development. Comparisons of MSD immunogenicity assays to the traditional ELISA format are featured below, using both a bridging assay format and direct immobilization format.
