ABSTRACT
Accurate determination of biological activity is essential in quality control of recombinant human brain natriuretic peptide (rhBNP). In previous study, we successfully developed a genetically modified cell line 293GCAC3-based ELISA assay for rhBNP. But ELISA procedure is still tedious, so this study was aimed to develop a rapid and simple bioassay for rhBNP using GloSensor technology, which provides a platform of flexible luciferase-based biosensors for real-time detection of signaling events in live cells, including cGMP production. A reporter cell line 293GCAGlo-G1 was constructed by transfecting pGloSensor?40 F plasmid into 293GCAC3. The reporter assay based on 293GCAGlo-G1 showed high precision with intra-assay CV being 8.3% and inter-assay CV being 14.1%; high accuracy with 80%, 100% and 120% recovery rate being 99.2%, 102.4% and 99.0% respectively; and great linearity with R2of linear fitting equation being 0.99. Besides, no significant difference was found in test results of reporter assay and 293GCAC3-based ELISA assay (paired t test, p＝0.630). All these results suggested that the reporter assay was a viable assay for biological determination of rhBNP.
ABSTRACT
Objective To evaluate the quality status of recombinant human interferon α1b injection and find out some quality problems.Methods Totally 31 batches of recombinant human interferon α1b for injection and 11 batches of recombinant human interferon α1b injection from two enterprises were examined according to Chinese Pharmacopoeia Volume Ⅲ (2010),and the quality status of recombinant human interferon α1b injection was evaluated by statistical analysis of the results.Results All 42 batches of samples were qualified.The production process of each enterprise was steady.Conclusion At present the quality of recombinant human interferon αlb injection is generally good.The current standards are feasible,but the specified standard of osmolality needs to be improved.
ABSTRACT
Structure of a recombinant chimeric anti-CD20 IgG1 monoclonal antibody was verified by the application of high-performance liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (HPLC-MS)and N-terminal sequencer. Molecular masses, N-terminal sequences and peptide maps of the antibody treated with different reagents and enzymes were measured. Results indicate that the amino acid sequences of light and heavy chains and 10 disulfide bonds were consistent with theoretical structure. By comparison of molecular masses and peptide maps for the fully glycosylated and deglycosylated samples, the N-linked glycosylation site was identified. The method is simple, rapid, precise, and could be referred to the quality control and structure determination of other IgG1 products.
