Case Study: I mprove stable cell line generation process with MaxCyte system

  • Results

– Same DNA, same CHO cells, same selection procedure, different transfection method – Cell viability after transfection is higher with electroporation – 2-3 fold more expression with electroporation

  • Hypothesis

– More copies of DNA are introduced to the cells by electroporation

Viable cell density Cell viability Titer

  • Antibody was low producing in transient: ~ 1.5 mg/L
  • CHO stable clone was developed: ~ 50 mg/L
  • Two 10 L production runs (WAVE) were performed:

1,126 mg antibody was purified  I f speed was priority, same goal could be achieved with stable pool and lager volume production

T20 Score Analyzer to Quantify Ab Humanness

  • We developed a tool to quantify the humanness of the variable regions of monoclonal

antibodies – Based on sequence alignment to 1000s of sequenced human antibodies

T20 Score Analyzer to Quantify Ab Humanness

Heavy (variable) Light (variable) T20 Score Analyzer

T20 score  From 0-100;  Higher score = More human-like

LakePharma

T20 Score Analyzer to Aid Antibody Humanization

  • T20 scores increase following

humanization of therapeutic antibodies – Though not all technically look “human-like” – These humanized antibodies have little to no immunogenicity

  • Important to check humanness score

throughout humanization process – Humanized v2 and v3 have increasing # of “back mutations” to the rodent framework
