General description

SILU™ Lite SigmaMAb is a recombinant human monoclonal IgG1 lambda light antibody with a molecular mass of ∼150 kDa expressed in CHO cells. It is designed for optimization of accurate intact mass analysis of monoclonal antibodies, biosimilars, and pharmaceutical products. Accurate intact mass analysis of such large biomolecules can provide comprehensive information about structural and post-translational modifications such as glycosylation. Other information such as heterogeneity, batch-to-batch variation, amino acid truncation, and N-terminal Lys processing, aggregation, and degradation can be determined. Intact mass analysis using mass spectrometry is also very important for formulation and storage in therapeutic monoclonal antibody drug development.
It consists of two identical heavy chains and two identical light chains. The heavy chains and light chains are linked by one disulfide bond. The heavy chains are linked by two disulfide bonds located in a hinge domain. The other 12 cysteine bonds are intramolecularly restricted to six different globular domains. The antibody sequence has been evaluated by intact mass and peptide mapping using four different enzymes: chymotrypsin, Asp-N and Glu-C endoproteinases and trypsin. Sequence coverage of 100% was obtained.

Application

SILu™ Lite SigmaMAb Universal Antibody Standard human has been used as a model system to investigate the quantitative relationship between gas-phase monoclonal antibody (mAb) unfolding and the discrete levels of mAb glycosylation.
