Abstract
There have been significant advances in the formulation and stabilization of proteins in the liquid state over the past years since our previous review. Our mechanistic understanding of protein-excipient interactions has increased, allowing one to develop formulations in a more rational fashion. The field has moved towards more complex and challenging formulations, such as high concentration formulations to allow for subcutaneous administration and co-formulation. While much of the published work has focused on mAbs, the principles appear to apply to any therapeutic protein, although mAbs clearly have some distinctive features. In this review, we first discuss chemical degradation reactions. This is followed by a section on physical instability issues. Then, more specific topics are addressed: instability induced by interactions with interfaces, predictive methods for physical stability and interplay between chemical and physical instability. The final parts are devoted to discussions how all the above impacts (co-)formulation strategies, in particular for high protein concentration solutions.'

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To develop a method for in vitro assembly of recombinant proteins expressed in E. coli into chimeric virus-like particles (cVLPs). RESULTS A fusion protein (Bepi-Cap-A) between capsid protein (Cap) of PCV2b and B cell epitope (Bepi) of IBDV was expressed in E. Coli, and purified. For assembling them into cVLPs (Bepi-Cap-VLP), the Bepi-Cap-A was suspended in buffer C [0.03% ("%" stands for "v/v" unless otherwise indicated) polyethylene glycol, 0.4 M Tris, 10 mM β-mercaptoethanol, 5% glycerol, 0.02% (w/v) gellan gum, 0.1 M glycine, 0.03% Tween 80, 500 mM NaCl], and incubated. After centrifugation, the pellet was resuspended in buffer D [50 mM Na2HPO4, 50 mM NaH2PO4, 0.01% (w/v) gellan gum, 0.05 mM EDTA, 500 mM NaCl, 0.03% Tween 80, pH 6.5], and then dialyzed against dialysis buffer (50 mM Na2HPO4, 50 mM NaH2PO4, 500 mM NaCl, 0.03% Tween 80, pH 6.5). The procedure resulted in typical and immunogenic Bepi-Cap-VLP. CONCLUSIONS The data provide a method which is feasible for in vitro assembly of recombinant proteins into chimeric virus-like particles.

Abstract
Immunoglobulin G-based monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) have become a dominant class of biotherapeutics in recent decades. Approved antibodies are mainly of the subclasses IgG1, IgG2, and IgG4, as well as their derivatives. Over the decades, the selection of IgG subclass has frequently been based on the needs of Fc gamma receptor engagement and effector functions for the desired mechanism of action, while the effect on drug product developability has been less thoroughly characterized. One of the major reasons is the lack of systematic understanding of the impact of IgG subclass on the molecular properties. Several efforts have been made recently to compare molecular property differences among these IgG subclasses, but the conclusions from these studies are sometimes obscured by the interference from variable regions. To further establish mechanistic understandings, we conducted a systematic study by grafting three independent variable regions onto human IgG1, an IgG1 variant, IgG2, and an IgG4 variant constant domains and evaluating the impact of subclass and variable regions on their molecular properties. Structural and computational analysis revealed specific molecular features that potentially account for the differential behavior of the IgG subclasses observed experimentally. Our data indicate that IgG subclass plays a significant role on molecular properties, either through direct effects or via the interplay with the variable region, the IgG1 mAbs tend to have higher solubility than either IgG2 or IgG4 mAbs in a common pH 6 buffer matrix, and solution behavior relies heavily on the charge status of the antibody at the desirable pH.

Pepsin-Soluble Collagen from the Skin of Lophius litulo: A Preliminary Study Evaluating Physicochemical, Antioxidant, and Wound Healing Properties. Mar Drugs 2019; 17:md17120708. [PMID: 31888163 PMCID: PMC6950534 DOI: 10.3390/md17120708] [Citation(s) in RCA: 13] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.6] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/26/2019] [Revised: 12/11/2019] [Accepted: 12/13/2019] [Indexed: 02/07/2023] Open
Abstract
The structure of pepsin-solubilized collagen (PSC) obtained from the skin of Lophius litulon was analyzed using the sodium dodecylsulphate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). SDS-PAGE results showed that PSC from Lophius litulon skin was collagen type I and had collagen-specific α1, α2, β, and γ chains. FTIR results indicated that the infrared spectrum of PSC ranged from 400 to 4000 cm-1, with five main amide bands. SEM revealed the microstructure of PSC, which consisted of clear fibrous and porous structures. In vitro antioxidant studies demonstrated that PSC revealed the scavenging ability for 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH), HO·, O2-·, and ABTS·. Moreover, animal experiments were conducted to evaluate the biocompatibility of PSC. The collagen sponge group showed a good biocompatibility in the skin wound model and may play a positive role in the progression of the healing process. The cumulative results suggest that collagen from the skin of Lophius litulon has potential applications in wound healing due to its good biocompatibility.
