Integrated glycan analysis of monoclonal antibodies using UPLC-MS

This project at MassBiologics of University of Massachusetts Medical School will be led by Dr. David McNally and Dr. Tianyuan Peng. This project is part of a larger small group study to evaluate the variability associated with operator-associated variabil

Industry Need

Enhanced and/or standardized ability to measure and quantitatively evaluate the glycan profile of a reference monoclonal antibody 

Solution

The University of Massachusetts will procure a Waters BioAccord LC-MS system. This approach will be used to measure and quantitatively evaluate the glycan profile of a reference monoclonal antibody using glycan standards as well as the glycan profile of a reference monoclonal antibody where the release was performed at a central laboratory.

Outputs/Deliverables

  • Instrument procurement, installation and ready for functional use
  • Execute MTA and receive samples from NIST
  • Glycan analysis method development and sample testing
  • Data summarization and reporting


Impacts

Upon project completion, the Waters BioAccord LC-MS system will be available on a priority basis for NIIMBL-related technology and workforce activities, within any necessary constraints of the host institution, to be negotiated with NIIMBL.
