Abstract
Viral clearance steps are routinely included in monoclonal antibody purification processes to safeguard product from potential virus contamination. These steps are often experimentally studied using product-specific feeds and parameters for each project to demonstrate viral clearance capability. However, published evidence suggests that viral clearance capability of many of these steps are not significantly impacted by variations in feed material or process parameter within commonly used ranges. The current investigation confirms robust retrovirus inactivation by low pH treatment and parvovirus removal by second-generation virus filters, independent to individual antibody molecules. Our results also reveal robust retrovirus removal by flowthrough anion exchange chromatography, inside the limits of protein load and host cell protein content. The cumulative viral clearance capability from these steps leads to an excess clearance safety factor of 10,000-fold for endogenous retrovirus-like particles. These results further justify the use of prior knowledge-based modular viral clearance estimation as opposed to repetitive experimentation.

J Chromatogr B Analyt Technol Biomed Life Sci 2023; 1225:123767. [PMID: 37270861 DOI: 10.1016/j.jchromb.2023.123767] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/17/2023] [Revised: 05/21/2023] [Accepted: 05/26/2023] [Indexed: 06/06/2023]
Abstract
Small amounts of by-products are nevertheless created during the recombinant production of IgG-like bispecific antibodies due to imbalanced chain expression and improper chain pairing, despite the employment of molecular strategy techniques to promote accurate pairing. Among them, homodimers represent the species that are more difficult to remove due to their physical and chemical properties being similar to the target antibody. Homodimer by-products are always produced even though various technologies can significantly increase the expression of heterodimers, so a robust purification process to recover high-purity heterodimers is required. Most of the chromatography methods commonly adopt the bind-and-elute mode or two-step to separate homodimers, which has numerous drawbacks such as prolonged process times and limited dynamic binding capacity. Flow-through mode of anion exchange is a frequently-used polishing step for antibodies, but it is typically regarded as being more effective for host-cell protein or host-cell DNA removal rather than other product-related impurities such as homodimers and aggregates. This paper demonstrated that single-step anion exchange chromatography allows high capacity and effective clearance of the homodimer byproduct to be simultaneously achieved, suggesting that weak partitioning was a better polishing strategy for achieving a high level of heterodimer purity. And robust operation range of anion exchange chromatography steps for homodimer removal was also developed by leveraging the design of experiments.

Abstract
Various high-throughput systems and strategies are employed by the biopharmaceutical industry for early to late-stage process development for biologics manufacturing. The associated increases to experiment productivity and reduction in material consumption makes high throughput tools integral for bioprocess development. While these high-throughput systems have been successfully leveraged to generate high quality data representative of manufacturing scale processes, their data interpretation often requires complex data transformation and time-intensive system characterization. With respect to high throughput purification development, RoboColumns by Repligen operated on Tecan automated liquid handling systems offer superior performance scalability, but lack an optimized liquid delivery system that is representative of preparative chromatography. Particularly, stock Tecan liquid handling systems lack the capability to provide high-capacity continuous liquid flow and ideal linear gradient chromatography conditions. These limitations impact protein chromatography performance and hinder the application of high-throughput gradient elution experiments. In this work, we describe a Tecan Freedom EVO high-throughput purification tool that provides more continuous liquid delivery enabling continuous gradient elution capability for RoboColumn experiments as demonstrated by generation of highly linear conductivity gradients. Results demonstrate that the tool can provide RoboColumn performance and product quality data that is in agreement with larger, bench scale chromatography formats for two model purification methods. The described gradient purification method also provides more consistent performance between RoboColumns and larger column formats compared to step elution methods using the same optimized Tecan system. Lastly, new insights into the impact of discontinuous flow on RoboColumn elution performance are introduced, which may help further improve application of these data towards bioprocess development.

Abstract
For monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) produced in mammalian cells, viral safety is a critical concern. The downstream process, in addition to removing other impurities, needs to ensure robust clearance (removal or inactivation) of potential endogenous and adventitious viruses. In general, Protein A and polishing chromatography steps all can provide certain level of virus removal. Chromatographic removal combined with virus inactivation and nanofiltration usually provides adequate virus clearance across the overall downstream process. This article reviews the virus clearance capability of commonly used column chromatography, with attention to possible interference of virus-mAb interaction on virus removal. In addition, the potential of using viral surrogate as a safe alternative to live virus for assessing viral clearance is briefly discussed.

Abstract
Recombinant adeno-associated virus (AAV) has been broadly used as a delivery tool for gene therapy applications. The development of a robust purification process is essential for delivering high purity and quality AAV products to clinic. The short clinical timelines and material limitations of early-stage development pose unique challenges to developing robust and scalable downstream purification processes. One approach to overcome these limitations is to leverage high throughput (HTP) strategies and automation technologies for purification process development, an approach that is well established in protein biologics and other areas. However, due to the unique challenges related to viral vector purification, implementing HTP approaches for gene therapy process development has not been explored extensively. In this paper, we established a HTP chromatography platform and demonstrated its capability to facilitate gene therapy purification process development using both mini-columns and self-packed resin plates. The end-to-end development workflow for AAV HTP purification is detailed in this work with the expectation of serving as an introductory for the AAV purification development field. Comparable process performance was confirmed between a bench-scale chromatography process and an HTP chromatography format. Slightly lower recovery was observed using the HTP format (62% vs 75%), as well as %full capsid enrichment (71% vs. 82%). Comparable impurity clearance capability was demonstrated between the two different systems as well. It was concluded that the established HTP chromatography formats can serve as a surrogate to bench-scale chromatography development to reduce material needs and development timelines for AAV purification development.

Abstract
High throughput process development (HTPD) using liquid handling robotics and RoboColumns is an established methodology in downstream process development to screen chromatography resins and optimize process designs to meet target product profiles. However, HTPD is not yet widely available for use in viral clearance capability of the resin due to a variety of constraints. In the present study, a BSL-1-compatible, non-infectious MVM model, MVM-VLP, was tested for viral clearance assessment with various resin and membrane chromatography operations in a HTPD mode. To detect the MVM-VLP in the high throughput experiments, an electrochemiluminescence immunoassay (ECLIA) assay was developed with up to 5 logs of dynamic range. Storage time suitability of MVM-VLP solutions in various buffer matrices, in the presence or absence of a glycoprotein vaccine candidate, were assessed. Then, MVM-VLP and a test article monoclonal antibody (mAb) were used in a HTPD design that included commercially available ion exchange media chemistries, elucidating a wide variety of viral clearance ability at different operating conditions. The methodologies described herein have the potential to be a part of the process design stage in biologics manufacturing process development, which in turn can reduce risk associated with viral clearance validation studies.

Abstract
Viral safety is required for biological products to treat human diseases, and the burden of inactivation and or virus removal lies on the downstream purification process. Minute virus of mice (MVM) is a nonenveloped parvovirus commonly used as the worst-case model virus in validation studies because of its small size and high chemical stability. In this study, we investigated the use of MVM-mock virus particle (MVP) and bacteriophage ΦX174 as surrogates for MVM to mimic viral clearance studies, with a focus on chromatography operations. Based on structural models and comparison of log reduction value among MVM, MVP, and ΦX174, it was demonstrated that MVP can be used as a noninfectious surrogate to assess viral clearance during process development in multiple chromatography systems in a biosafety level one (BSL-1) laboratory. Protein A (ProA) chromatography was investigated to strategically assess the impact of the resin, impurities, and the monoclonal antibody product on virus removal.

Abstract
Viruses still pose a significant threat to human and animal health worldwide. In the fight against viral infections, high-purity viral stocks are needed for manufacture of safer vaccines. It is also a priority to ensure the viral safety of biopharmaceuticals such as blood products. Chromatography techniques are widely implemented at both academic and industrial levels in the purification of viral particles, whole viruses and virus-like particles to remove viral contaminants from biopharmaceutical products. This paper focuses on polysaccharide adsorbents, particulate resins and membrane adsorbers, used in virus purification/removal chromatography processes. Different chromatographic modes are surveyed, with particular attention to ion exchange and affinity/pseudo-affinity adsorbents among which commercially available agarose-based resins (Sepharose®) and cellulose-based membrane adsorbers (Sartobind®) occupy a dominant position. Mainly built on the development of new ligands coupled to conventional agarose/cellulose matrices, the development perspectives of polysaccharide-based chromatography media in this antiviral area are stressed in the conclusive part.

Abstract
The ability to conduct multiple experiments in parallel significantly reduces the time that it takes to develop a manufacturing process for a biopharmaceutical. This is particularly significant before clinical entry, because process development and manufacturing are on the "critical path" for a drug candidate to enter clinical development. High-throughput process development (HTPD) methodologies can be similarly impactful during late-stage development, both for developing the final commercial process as well as for process characterization and scale-down validation activities that form a key component of the licensure filing package. This review examines the current state of the art for HTPD methodologies as they apply to cell culture, downstream purification, and analytical techniques. In addition, we provide a vision of how HTPD activities across all of these spaces can integrate to create a rapid process development engine that can accelerate biopharmaceutical drug development.

Abstract
This work addresses rapid resin selection for integrated chromatographic separations when conducted as part of a high‐throughput screening exercise during the early stages of purification process development. An optimization‐based decision support framework is proposed to process the data generated from microscale experiments to identify the best resins to maximize key performance metrics for a biopharmaceutical manufacturing process, such as yield and purity. A multiobjective mixed integer nonlinear programming model is developed and solved using the ε‐constraint method. Dinkelbach's algorithm is used to solve the resulting mixed integer linear fractional programming model. The proposed framework is successfully applied to an industrial case study of a process to purify recombinant Fc Fusion protein from low molecular weight and high molecular weight product related impurities, involving two chromatographic steps with eight and three candidate resins for each step, respectively. The computational results show the advantage of the proposed framework in terms of computational efficiency and flexibility. © 2017 The Authors Biotechnology Progress published by Wiley Periodicals, Inc. on behalf of American Institute of Chemical Engineers Biotechnol.

Abstract
The recently discovered contamination of oral rotavirus vaccines led to exposure of millions of infants to porcine circovirus (PCV). PCV was not detected by conventional virus screening tests. Regulatory agencies expect exclusion of adventitious viruses from biological products. Therefore, methods for inactivation/removal of viruses have to be implemented as an additional safety barrier whenever feasible. However, inactivation or removal of PCV is difficult. PCV is highly resistant to widely used physicochemical inactivation procedures. Circoviruses such as PCV are the smallest viruses known and are not expected to be effectively removed by currently-used virus filters due to the small size of the circovirus particles. Anion exchange chromatography such as Q Sepharose(®) Fast Flow (QSFF) has been shown to effectively remove a range of viruses including parvoviruses. In this study, we investigated PCV1 removal by virus filtration and by QSFF chromatography. As expected, PCV1 could not be effectively removed by virus filtration. However, PCV1 could be effectively removed by QSFF as used during the purification of monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) and a log10 reduction value (LRV) of 4.12 was obtained.
