Structural characterization of antibody drug conjugate by a combination of intact, middle-up and bottom-up techniques using sheathless capillary electrophoresis – Tandem mass spectrometry as nanoESI infusion platform and separation method

Résumé

Antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) represent a fast growing class of biotherapeutic products. Their production leads to a distribution of species exhibiting different number of conjugated drugs overlaying the inherent com-plexity resulting from the monoclonal antibody format, such as glycoforms. ADCs require an additional level of characterization compared to first generation of biotherapeutics obtained through multiple analytical tech-niques for complete structure assessment. We report the development of complementary approaches imple-menting sheathless capillary electrophoresis-mass spectrometry (sheathless CE-MS) to characterize the differ-ent aspects defining the structure of brentuximab vedotin. Native MS using sheathless CE-MS instrument as a nanoESI infusion platform enabled accurate mass measurements and estimation of the average drug to anti-body ratio alongside to drug load distribution. Middle-up analysis performed after limited IdeS proteolysis allowed to study independently the light chain, Fab and F(ab’)2 subunits incorporating 1, 0 to 4 and 0 to 8 pay-loads respectively. Finally, a CZE-ESI-MS/MS methodology was developed in order to be compatible with hy-drophobic drug composing ADCs. From a single injection, complete sequence coverage could be achieved. Using the same dataset, glycosylation and drug-loaded peptides could be simultaneously identified revealing robust information regarding their respective localization and abundance. Drug-loaded peptide fragmentation mass spectra study demonstrated drug specific fragments reinforcing identification confidence, undescribed so far. Results reveal the method ability to characterize ADCs primary structure in a comprehensive manner while reducing tremendously the number of experiments required. Data generated showed that sheathless CZE-ESI-MS/MS characteristics position the methodology developed as a relevant alternative for comprehensive multi-level characterization of these complex biomolecules
