Analytical Protein & Antibody Characterization
As major components of humoral immunity, IgG antibodies and other therapeutic proteins have been at the centre of biologic drug development for decades. These molecules are highly specific and structurally complex, so protein and antibody characterization require coordinated, multi-dimensional analytical workflows rather than a single assay.
At Biofidus, detailed analysis and characterization of therapeutic proteins and antibodies is part of our daily routine. Our portfolio spans in-depth primary structure analysis and sequence confirmation, amino acid and post-translational modifications (PTMs), glycosylation profiling, and binding and functionality testing in cell-based assays. We are specialists in antibody glycosylation analysis, one of the most critical protein modifications influencing function, stability and immunogenicity of biopharmaceuticals. Using advanced LC-MS/MS, chromatographic, electrophoretic and bioassay platforms, we design fit-for-purpose protein characterization packages for monoclonal antibodies, bispecific antibodies, fusion proteins and other biologics.
Our extensive experience allows us to guide you through the variety of available methods and define the optimal analytical strategy for your project.
We adapt our platform methods to the properties of your drug substance, its individual formulation matrix, and your specific analytical question, and qualify them as needed according to ICH guidelines.
