Abstract
Large scale manufacture of complex biotherapeutic formats such as multi-specific antibodies can require development of custom biomanufacturing platforms, particularly for purification processes. Substantial advances in affinity chromatography media have allowed monoclonal antibody-like processes for these formats, and simplified process development to enable fast speed to the clinic. Thorough assessment of chromatography media performance and stability is critical to ensure robust operation and consistent product quality over repeated cycles throughout its lifetime. However, evaluation of repeated cycling and extended storage for chromatography media is resource consuming, which typically delays rigorous study to later development stages and often is acquired through increased operational experience. These areas can present quality risks if not properly understood. In this work, a class of affinity chromatography media employing camelid antibody-fragment ligands were evaluated for extended storage in benzyl alcohol solution as an alternative to ethanol storage. Initial laboratory studies revealed resin discoloration after 12 months of exposure to ambient light at room temperature. Resin photo-stress studies confirmed light exposure as the root cause, with benzyl alcohol storage conditions producing a substantially greater degree of discoloration compared to ethanol. Extreme photo-stress over the course of 7 days was also found to negatively impact resin dynamic binding capacities, with more severe declines observed with benzyl alcohol storage conditions. Binding capacity loss of 54 % was observed for photo-stressed CaptureSelect Kappa XP compared to control conditions. Addition of antioxidants reduced or eliminated resin discoloration during photo-stress, indicating that benzyl alcohol storage accelerates photo-oxidation of the affinity chromatography ligands. The addition of l-methionine to benzyl alcohol solution prevented resin discoloration and maintained a dynamic binding capacity of 41 g/L for CaptureSelect Kappa XP even after extreme photo-stress. Of practical importance, a study of LambdaFabSelect resin used and stored in benzyl alcohol solution, under recommended conditions (2-8 °C storage, protected from light) in an internal GMP facility over a period of three years, showed no impact to resin color, performance, or product quality.

Abstract
Maximizing product quality attributes by optimizing process parameters and performance attributes is a crucial aspect of bioprocess chromatography process design. Process parameters include but are not limited to bed height, eluate cut points, and elution pH. An under-characterized chromatography process parameter for protein A chromatography is process temperature. Here, we present a mechanistic understanding of the effects of temperature on the protein A purification of a monoclonal antibody (mAb) using a commercial chromatography resin for batch and continuous counter-current systems. A self-designed 3D-printed heating jacket controlled the 1 mL chromatography process temperature during the loading, wash, elution, and cleaning-in-place (CIP) steps. Batch loading experiments at 10, 20, and 30 °C demonstrated increased dynamic binding capacity (DBC) with temperature. The experimental data were fit to mechanistic and correlation-based models that predicted the optimal operating conditions over a range of temperatures. These model-based predictions optimized the development of a 3-column temperature-controlled periodic counter-current chromatography (TCPCC) and were validated experimentally. Operating a 3-column TCPCC at 30 °C led to a 47% increase in DBC relative to 20 °C batch chromatography. The DBC increase resulted in a two-fold increase in productivity relative to 20 °C batch. Increasing the number of columns to the TCPCC to optimize for increasing feed concentration resulted in further improvements to productivity. The feed-optimized TCPCC showed a respective two, three, and four-fold increase in productivity at feed concentrations of 1, 5, and 15 mg/mL mAb, respectively. The derived and experimentally validated temperature-dependent models offer a valuable tool for optimizing both batch and continuous chromatography systems under various operating conditions.

Abstract
Downstream processing is the bottleneck in the continuous manufacturing of monoclonal antibodies (mAbs). To overcome throughput limitations, two different continuous processes with a novel convective diffusive protein A membrane adsorber (MA) were investigated: the rapid cycling parallel multi-column chromatography (RC-PMCC) process and the rapid cycling simulated moving bed (RC-BioSMB) process. First, breakthrough curve experiments were performed to investigate the influence of the flow rate on the mAb dynamic binding capacity and to calculate the duration of the loading steps. In addition, customized control software was developed for an automated MA exchange in case of pressure increase due to membrane fouling to enable robust, uninterrupted, and continuous processing. Both processes were performed for 4 days with 0.61 g L-1 mAb-containing filtrate and process performance, product purity, productivity, and buffer consumption were compared. The mAb was recovered with a yield of approximately 90% and productivities of 1010 g L-1 d-1 (RC-PMCC) and 574 g L-1 d-1 (RC-BioSMB). At the same time, high removal of process-related impurities was achieved with both processes, whereas the buffer consumption was lower for the RC-BioSMB process. Finally, the attainable productivity for perfusion bioreactors of different sizes with suitable MA sizes was calculated to demonstrate the potential to operate both processes on a manufacturing scale with bioreactor volumes of up to 2000 L.

Peptide ligands targeting the vesicular stomatitis virus G (VSV-G) protein for the affinity purification of lentivirus particles. Biotechnol Bioeng 2024; 121:618-639.

Abstract
The recent uptick in the approval of ex vivo cell therapies highlights the relevance of lentivirus (LV) as an enabling viral vector of modern medicine. As labile biologics, however, LVs pose critical challenges to industrial biomanufacturing. In particular, LV purification-currently reliant on filtration and anion-exchange or size-exclusion chromatography-suffers from long process times and low yield of transducing particles, which translate into high waiting time and cost to patients. Seeking to improve LV downstream processing, this study introduces peptides targeting the enveloped protein Vesicular stomatitis virus G (VSV-G) to serve as affinity ligands for the chromatographic purification of LV particles. An ensemble of candidate ligands was initially discovered by implementing a dual-fluorescence screening technology and a targeted in silico approach designed to identify sequences with high selectivity and tunable affinity. The selected peptides were conjugated on Poros resin and their LV binding-and-release performance was optimized by adjusting the flow rate, composition, and pH of the chromatographic buffers. Ligands GKEAAFAA and SRAFVGDADRD were selected for their high product yield (50%-60% of viral genomes; 40%-50% of HT1080 cell-transducing particles) upon elution in PIPES buffer with 0.65 M NaCl at pH 7.4. The peptide-based adsorbents also presented remarkable values of binding capacity (up to 3·109 TU per mL of resin, or 5·1011 vp per mL of resin, at the residence time of 1 min) and clearance of host cell proteins (up to a 220-fold reduction of HEK293 HCPs). Additionally, GKEAAFAA demonstrated high resistance to caustic cleaning-in-place (0.5 M NaOH, 30 min) with no observable loss in product yield and quality.

Abstract
Protein A affinity chromatography is widely used as a capture step for monoclonal antibodies (mAb) and molecules that possess an Fc-domain, such as fusion proteins and bispecific antibodies. However, the use of low pH (3.0-4.0) to elute the molecule and achieve acceptable yield (>85 %) can lead to product degradation (e.g. fragmentation, aggregation) for molecules sensitive to low pH. In this paper, we describe a comprehensive evaluation of two protein A resins with ligands designed to elute at a milder pH as a result of modified sequences in their Fc and VH3 binding regions. One of the evaluated resins has been made commercially available by Purolite and named Praesto Jetted A50 HipH. Results demonstrated that Jetted A50 HipH could elute the Fc-fusion protein and most mAbs evaluated with an elution pH at or above 4.6. Elution and wash optimization determined run conditions for high recovery (>90 % monomer yield), reduction of high molecular weight (HMW) species (>50 %), and significant host cell protein (HCP) clearance at the mildest elution pH possible. For a pH-stable mAb and a pH-sensitive fusion protein, cell culture material was purified with optimized conditions and demonstrated the mild elution pH resins' ability to purify product with acceptable yield, comparable or better impurity clearance, and significantly milder native eluate pH compared to traditional resins. The benefits of the mild elution pH resins were clearly exemplified for the pH-sensitive protein, where a milder elution buffer and native eluate pH resulted in only 2 % HMW in the eluate that remained stable over 48 h. In contrast, a traditional protein A resin requiring low pH elution led to eluate HMW levels of 8 %, which increased to 16 % over the same hold time. Additionally, these resins have high dynamic binding capacity and allow the use of traditional HCP washes. Therefore, Jetted A50 HipH is an ideal candidate for a platform protein A resin and provides flexibility for pH-sensitive proteins and stable mAbs, while preserving product quality, recovery, and seamless integration into a downstream process.

Abstract
Upstream advances have led to increased mAb titers above 5 g/L in 14-day fed-batch cultures. This is accompanied by higher cell densities and process-related impurities such as DNA and Host Cell Protein (HCP), which have caused challenges for downstream operations. Depth filtration remains a popular choice for harvesting CHO cell culture, and there is interest in utilizing these to remove process-related impurities at the harvest stage. Operation of the harvest stage has also been shown to affect the performance of the Protein A chromatography step. In addition, manufacturers are looking to move away from natural materials such as cellulose and Diatomaceous Earth (DE) for better filter consistency and security of supply. Therefore, there is an increased need for further understanding and knowledge of depth filtration. This study investigates the effect of depth filter material and loading on the Protein A resin lifetime with an industrially relevant high cell density feed material (40 million cells/ml). It focuses on the retention of process-related impurities such as DNA and HCP through breakthrough studies and a novel confocal microscopy method for imaging foulant in-situ. An increase in loading of the primary-synthetic filter by a third, led to earlier DNA breakthrough in the secondary filter, with DNA concentration at a throughput of 50 L/m2 being more than double. Confocal imaging of the depth filters showed that the foulant was pushed forward into the filter structure with higher loading. The additional two layers in the primary-synthetic filter led to better pressure profiles in both primary and secondary filters but did not help to retain HCP or DNA. Reduced filtrate clarity, as measured by OD600, was 1.6 fold lower in the final filtrate where a synthetic filter train was used. This was also associated with precipitation in the Protein A column feed. Confocal imaging of resin after 100 cycles showed that DNA build-up around the outside of the bead was associated with synthetic filter trains, leading to potential mass transfer problems.

Abstract
Therapeutic monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) provide new means for treatments of a wide range of diseases and comprise a large fraction of all new approved drugs. Production of mAbs is expensive compared to conventional drug production, primarily due to the complex processes involved. The affinity purification step is dominating the cost of goods in mAb manufacturing. Process intensification and automation could reduce costs, but the lack of real-time process analytical technologies (PAT) complicates this development. We show a specific and robust fiber optical localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) sensor technology that is optimized for in-line product detection in the effluent in affinity capture steps. The sensor system comprises a flow cell and a replaceable sensor chip functionalized with biorecognition elements for specific analyte detection. The high selectivity of the sensor enable detection of mAbs in complex sample matrices at concentrations below 2.5 μg mL-1. In place regeneration of the sensor chips allowed for continuous monitoring of multiple consecutive chromatographic separation cycles. Excellent performance was obtained at different purification scales with flow rates up to 200 mL min-1. This sensor technology facilitates efficient column loading, optimization, and control of chromatography systems, which can pave the way for continuous operation and automation of protein purification steps.

Abstract
Preparative chromatography is a well-established operation in chemical and biotechnology manufacturing. Chromatography achieves high separation performances, but often has to deal with the yield versus purity trade-off as the optimization criterium regarding through-put. The initial trade-off is often disturbed by the well-known phenomenon of chromatogram shifts over process lifetime, and has to be corrected by operators via adjustment of peak fraction cutting. Nevertheless, with regard to autonomous operation and batch to continuous processing modes, an advanced process control strategy is needed to identify and correct shifts from the optimal operation point automatically. Previous studies have already presented solutions for batch-to-batch variance and process control options with the aid of rigorous physico-chemical process modeling. These models can be implemented as distinct digital twins as well as statistical process operation data analyzers. In order to utilize such models for advanced process control (APC), the model parameters have to be updated with the aid of inline Process Analytical Technology (PAT) data to describe the actual operational status. This updating process also includes any operational change phenomena that occur, and its relation to their physico-chemical root cause. Typical phenomena are fluid dynamic changes due to packing breakage, channelling or compression as well as mass transfer and phase equilibrium-related separation performance decrease due to adsorbent aging or feed and buffer composition changes. In order to track these changes, an Artificial Neural Network (ANN) is trained in this work. The ANN training is in this first step, based on the simulation results of a distinct and previously experimentally validated process model. The model is implemented in the open source tool CasADi for Python. This allows the implementation of interfaces to process control systems, among others, with relatively low effort. Therefore, PAT signals can easily be incorporated for sufficient adjustment of the process model for appropriate process control. Further steps would be the implementation of optimization routines based on PAT and ANN predictions to derive optimal operation points with the model.

Abstract
Monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) have been extensively studied for their wide therapeutic and research applications. Increases in mAb titre has been achieved mainly by cell culture media/feed improvement and cell line engineering to increase cell density and specific mAb productivity. However, this improvement has shifted the bottleneck to downstream purification steps. The higher accumulation of the main cell-derived impurities, host cell proteins (HCPs), in the supernatant can negatively affect product integrity and immunogenicity in addition to increasing the cost of capture and polishing steps. Mathematical modelling of bioprocess dynamics is a valuable tool to improve industrial production at fast rate and low cost. Herein, a single stage volume-based population balance model (PBM) has been built to capture Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cell behaviour in fed-batch bioreactors. Using cell volume as the internal variable, the model captures the dynamics of mAb and HCP accumulation extracellularly under physiological and mild hypothermic culture conditions. Model-based analysis and orthogonal measurements of lactate dehydrogenase activity and double-stranded DNA concentration in the supernatant show that a significant proportion of HCPs found in the extracellular matrix is secreted by viable cells. The PBM then served as a platform for generating operating strategies that optimise antibody titre and increase cost-efficiency while minimising impurity levels.

Abstract
Detergent-mediated virus inactivation (VI) provides a valuable orthogonal strategy for viral clearance in mammalian processes, in particular for next-generation continuous manufacturing. Furthermore, there exists an industry-wide need to replace the conventionally employed detergent Triton X-100 with eco-friendly alternatives. However, given Triton X-100 has been the gold standard for VI due its minimal impact on protein stability and high inactivation efficacy, inactivation by other eco-friendly detergents and its impact on protein stability is not well understood. In this study, the sugar-based detergent commonly used in membrane protein purification, n-dodecyl-β- d-maltoside was found to be a promising alternative for VI. We investigated a panel of detergents to compare the relative VI efficacy, impact on therapeutic quality attributes, and clearance of the VI agent and other impurities through subsequent chromatographic steps. Detergent-mediated inactivation and protein stability showed comparable trends to low pH inactivation. Using experimental and modeling data, we found detergent-mediated product aggregation and its kinetics to be driven by extrinsic factors such as detergent and protein concentration. Detergent-mediated aggregation was also impacted by an initial aggregation level as well as intrinsic factors such as the protein sequence and detergent hydrophobicity, and critical micelle concentration. Knowledge gained here on factors driving product stability and VI provides valuable insight to design, standardize, and optimize conditions (concentration and duration of inactivation) for screening of detergent-mediated VI.

Abstract
Although empirical methods have been introduced in the process development of continuous chromatography, the common approach to optimize a multi-column continuous capture chromatography (periodic counter-current chromatography, PCCC) process heavily relies on numerical model simulations and the number of experiments. In addition, different multi-column settings in PCCC add more design variables in process development. In this study, we have developed a rational method for designing PCCC processes based on iterative calculations by mechanistic model-based simulations. Breakthrough curves of a monoclonal antibody were measured at different residence times for three protein A resins of different particle sizes and capacities to obtain the parameters needed for the simulation. Numerical calculations were performed for the protein sample concentration in the range of 1.5 to 4 g/L. Regression curves were developed to describe the relative process performances compared with batch operation, including the resin capacity utilization and the buffer consumption. Another linear correlation was established between breakthrough cut-off (BT%) and a modified group composed of residence time, mass transfer coefficient, and particle size. By normalizing BT% with binding capacity and switching time, the linear regression curves were established for the three protein A resins, which are useful for the design and optimization of PCCC to reduce the process development time.

Abstract
The vortex flow reactor (VFR) can be used in many chemical engineering applications. This paper assesses its novel use in the purification of monoclonal antibodies from cell broth. To this end, the IgG2a antibody was purified from the unclarified fermentation broth of transgenic mouse 55/6 hybridoma cells. Visual experiments showed that the VFR worked in the laminar vortices flow regime and the vortices displaced slightly faster than the axial flow. The VFR has the advantage of creating two sorts of flows: axial flow to produce the expanded bed and an extra vortex flow to avoid channeling and stabilize the expanded bed, the hydrodynamic behavior of which is plug flow with an experimental Pèclet number higher than 20. The pH was adjusted in the untreated fermentation broth, which was directly introduced into the reactor thus reducing the number of stages. The IgG2a purification was carried out in a single device via two steps: antibody adsorption in the expanded bed and antibody elution in the settled bed using Streamline rProtein A. A thirty-fold increase in the high-purity antibody concentration was achieved at the top of the pH5 elution peak with a total recovery of 93.1% (w/w) between elution peaks pH 5 and 3.

Abstract
Recent interest in continuous manufacturing of biologics has driven the development and evaluation of multicolumn chromatography systems to drive down resin costs by increasing productivity and maximizing resin utilization, especially for the expensive protein A capture step. Single-pass tangential flow filtration can be used to reduce the volume of perfusion harvest, enabling a further increase in the productivity of the capture step by up to fivefold. However, there are expected to be practical limits for the productivity of the capture step, which must be determined based on the manufacturing batch size, duration, and frequency, especially as it relates to efficient utilization of the column lifetime. For short fed-batch manufacturing campaigns, intensified capture processes may result in up to 82% lower resin consumption, while avoiding the long-term storage of used resin. For perfusion processes and longer fed-batch campaigns, it may be more efficient to operate at a lower productivity that enables the column lifetime to be routinely achieved and achieves the desired resin and buffer savings without introducing unnecessary process risk or complexity. An intensified batch capture process, "super-batch," will be compared as an alternative to multicolumn chromatography processes to achieve high productivity and resin utilization with a potentially simpler process.

Linear flow-velocity gradient chromatography-An efficient method for increasing the process efficiency of batch and continuous capture chromatography of proteins. Biotechnol Bioeng 2021; 118:1262-1272. [PMID: 33283261 PMCID: PMC7986079 DOI: 10.1002/bit.27649] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/07/2020] [Revised: 10/25/2020] [Accepted: 11/24/2020] [Indexed: 01/20/2023]
Abstract
A new method was proposed for increasing the capture chromatography process efficiency, linear flow-velocity gradient (LFG). The method uses a linear decreasing flow-velocity gradient with time during the sample loading. The initial flow velocity, the final flow velocity and the gradient time are the parameters to be tuned. We have developed a method for determining these parameters by using the total column capacity and the total loaded amount as a function of time. The capacity can be calculated by using the relationships between dynamic binding capacity (DBC) and residence time. By leveraging the capacity, loading amount, and the required conditions, the optimum LFG can be designed. The method was verified by ion-exchange and protein A chromatography of monoclonal antibodies (mAbs). A two-fold increase in the productivity during the sample loading was possible by LFG compared with the constant flow-velocity (CF) operation. LFG was also applied to a 4-column continuous process. The simulation showed that the cost of resin per unit amount of processed mAbs can be reduced by 13% while 1.4 times enhancement in productivity was preserved after optimization by LFG compared to CF. The process efficiency improvement is more pronounced when the isotherm is highly favorable and the loading volume is large.

Abstract
In this study, the enhanced alkaline stability of Protein A ligands and resins designed by protein engineering approaches is demonstrated. High throughput PreDictor™ plates were used to evaluate and compare the human Immunoglobulin G (IgG) static binding capacities (SBC) of MabSelect SuRe™ and MabSelect™ PrismA affinity chromatography (AC) resins after continuous incubation in 0.1-2.0 M NaOH for 1-72 h. The alkaline effect on the Protein A affinity ligand was studied by high resolution mass spectrometry (MS). The IgG binding capacity of the investigated AC resins show expected declining trends with increasing NaOH concentrations and incubation times. The decrease is larger for MabSelect SuRe than for MabSelect PrismA and occur at lower NaOH concentrations. MabSelect SuRe display high remaining binding capacity even after 72 h continuous incubation in 0.1 M NaOH, while higher concentrations induce an accentuated decline with incubation time. The MabSelect PrismA resin shows almost no effect on the binding capacity even after 72 h incubation in 0.5 M NaOH. Decline in capacity is first observed after 48 h incubation in 1.0 M NaOH, thus displaying the extreme alkaline stability of the PrismA affinity ligand. The MS analysis of the ligands, including a Protein A single B-domain, SuRe-domain and PrismA-domain clearly illustrate the increasing alkaline stability (B-domain < SuRe < PrismA) as the ligand has been refined using a protein engineering approach. Deamidation and ligand degradation could be monitored in relation to NaOH incubation conditions. Enzymatic digestion of MabSelect SuRe and MabSelect PrismA resins after alkaline incubation and LC-MS/MS peptide mapping facilitates identification and quantification of specific deamidation sites on the affinity ligand.

Abstract
Classical swine fever (CSF) is one of the most important viral diseases of swine worldwide. Although live or attenuated virus vaccines have been used to control CSFV, it is difficult to distinguish vaccinated pigs from infected pigs; this leads to restrictions on import and export. Subunit vaccines based on the CSFV E2 glycoprotein have been developed using baculovirus or insect cell systems, but some weaknesses remain. Here, we describe production of an E2 recombinant protein using a Nicotiana benthamiana plant expression system. To do this, we took advantage of the ability of the swine Fc domain to increase solubility and stability of the fusion protein and to strengthen immune responses in target animals. N. benthamiana expressed high amounts of pFc2-fused E2 proteins, which were isolated and purified by affinity chromatography to yield a high pure recombinant protein in a cost-effective manner. Native-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and size exclusion chromatography confirmed that the pmE2:pFc2 fusion exists as a multimer rather than as a dimer. Injection of recombinant pmE2 protein into mice or piglets generated anti-pmE2 antibodies with efficient neutralizing activity against CSFV. These results suggest that a purified recombinant E2 protein produced in N. benthamiana generates high titers of neutralizing antibodies in vivo; as such, the protein could be developed as a subunit vaccine against CSFV.

Abstract
Downstream processing is considered one of the most challenging phases of industrial manufacturing of therapeutic proteins, accounting for a large portion of the total production costs. The growing demand for therapeutic proteins in the biopharmaceutical market in addition to a significant rise in upstream titers have placed an increasing burden on the downstream purification process, which is often limited by high cost and insufficient capacities. To achieve efficient production and reduced costs, a variety of biomaterials have been exploited to improve the current techniques and also to develop superior alternatives. In this work, we discuss the significance of utilizing traditional biomaterials in downstream processing and review the recent progress in the development of new biomaterials for use in protein separation and purification. Several representative methods will be highlighted and discussed in detail, including affinity chromatography, non-affinity chromatography, membrane separations, magnetic separations, and precipitation/phase separations. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: Nowadays, downstream processing of therapeutic proteins is facing great challenges created by the rapid increase of the market size and upstream titers, starving for significant improvements or innovations in current downstream unit operations. Biomaterials have been widely used in downstream manufacturing of proteins and efforts have been continuously devoted to developing more advanced biomaterials for the implementation of more efficient and economical purification methods. This review covers recent advances in the development and application of biomaterials specifically exploited for various chromatographic and non-chromatographic techniques, highlighting several promising alternative strategies.
