Abstract
Antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) are produced by the chemical linkage of cytotoxic agents and monoclonal antibodies. The complexity and heterogeneity of ADCs and the low concentration of cytotoxic agent released in vivo poses big challenges to their bioanalysis. Understanding the pharmacokinetic behavior, exposure-safety, and exposure-efficacy relationships of ADCs is needed for their successful development. Accurate analytical methods are required to evaluate intact ADCs, total antibody, released small molecule cytotoxins, and related metabolites. The selection of appropriate bioanalysis methods for comprehensive analysis of ADCs is mainly dependent on the properties of cytotoxic agents, the chemical linker, and the attachment sites. The quality of the information about the whole pharmacokinetic profile of ADCs has been improved due to the development and improvement of analytical strategies for detection of ADCs, such as ligand-binding assays and mass spectrometry-related techniques. In this article, we will focus on the bioanalytical assays that have been used in the pharmacokinetic study of ADCs and discuss their advantages, current limitations, and potential challenges. SIGNIFICANCE STATEMENT: This article describes bioanalysis methods which have been used in pharmacokinetic study of ADCs and discusses the advantages, disadvantages and potential challenges of these assays. This review is useful and helpful and will provide insights and reference for bioanalysis and development of ADCs.

Abstract
Biological drug products may elicit an antidrug antibody (ADA) response. The current widely used bridging ligand binding assay (LBA) is the gold standard for ADA assessments in drug development, which is a qualitative assay followed by a quasi-quantitative titer analysis but can be prone to interferences from biological matrices, drug targets and circulating drugs. We present our perspectives and findings in exploring a hybrid LBA/LC-MS as an orthogonal bioanalytical tool for clinical immunogenicity assessments. The hybrid LBA/LC-MS is a semiquantitative assay with acceptable specificity, drug tolerance and the capability of multiplexed detection of ADA isotypes. The assay results suggest this technology to be a promising and complementary bioanalytical tool that can provide informative immunogenicity data in drug development.

Abstract
Over the past 10 years, there has been a remarkable increase in the use of LC–MS for the quantitative determination of proteins, and this technique can now be considered an established bioanalytical platform for the quantification of macromolecular drugs and biomarkers, next to the traditional ligand-binding assays. Many researchers have contributed to the field and helped improve both the technical possibilities of LC–MS-based workflows and our understanding of the meaning of the results that are obtained. As a tribute to Bioanalysis, which has published many important contributions, this report gives a high-level overview of the most important trends in the field of protein LC–MS, as published in this journal since its inauguration a decade ago. It describes the major technical developments with regard to sample handling, separation and MS detection of both digested and intact protein analysis. In addition, the relevance of the complex structure and in vivo behavior of proteins is discussed and the effect of protein–protein interactions, biotransformation and the occurrence of isoforms on the analytical result is addressed.

Abstract
Aim: Hybrid LC–MS/MS assays are increasingly used to quantitate proteins in biological matrices. These assays involve analyte enrichment at the protein level. Although suitability has been demonstrated, they are limited by the lack of appropriate affinity reagents and may suffer from interferences caused by binding proteins or antibodies. Results: An online stable isotope standards and capture by anti-peptide antibodies assay was developed, which involves tryptic digestion of a therapeutic monoclonal antibody in human serum to destroy interfering proteins followed by enrichment using high affinity peptide antibodies. The assay was validated and compared with a standard ligand-binding assay currently used for quantification. Conclusion: The data show that the stable isotope standards and capture by anti-peptide antibodies-2D-LC–MS/MS assay can be used as an alternative method for measurement of monoclonal antibodies in clinical samples.

Abstract
In the last decade, the advancement of liquid chromatography mass spectrometry (LC/MS) techniques has enabled their broad application in protein characterization, both quantitatively and qualitatively. Owing to certain important merits of LC/MS techniques (e.g., high selectivity, flexibility, and rapid method development), LC/MS assays are often deemed as preferable alternatives to conventional methods (e.g., ligand-binding assays) for the analysis of protein biotherapeutics. At the discovery and development stages, LC/MS is generally employed for two purposes absolute quantification of protein biotherapeutics in biological samples and qualitative characterization of proteins. For absolute quantification of a target protein in bio-matrices, recent work has led to improvements in the efficiency of LC/MS method development, sample treatment, enrichment and digestion, and high-performance low-flow-LC separation. These advances have enhanced analytical sensitivity, specificity, and robustness. As to qualitative analysis, a range of techniques have been developed to characterize intramolecular disulfide bonds, glycosylation, charge variants, primary sequence heterogeneity, and the drug-to-antibody ratio of antibody drug conjugate (ADC), which has enabled a refined ability to assess product quality. In this review, we will focus on the discussion of technical challenges and strategies of LC/MS-based quantification and characterization of biotherapeutics, with the emphasis on the analysis of antibody-based biotherapeutics such as monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) and ADCs. © 2016 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Abstract
Aim: C1-INH-HAE is caused by activation of plasma kallikrein which subsequently cleaves high-molecular-weight kininogen (HMWK) to generate bradykinin and cHMWK. Materials & methods: A novel ion-pair 2D LC–MS/MS assay was developed to measure the 46 kDa cHMWK in plasma as a biomarker for C1-INH-HAE. The sample preparation included sodium dodecyl sulfate denaturation, methanol crash, chymotryptic digestion and peptide enrichment by solid phase extraction. Results: The LLOQ was 200 ng/ml. The overall cHMWK recovery combining crash and digestion was 57.5%. The precision of the method was ≤12.7% and accuracy ≤-13.8%. Conclusion: A reagent-free LC–MS assay has been developed for the quantitation of 46 kDa cHMWK, which was shown to be elevated in plasma of C1-INH-HAE patients due to C1-INH deficiency relative to that of healthy subjects.

Abstract
Monoclonal antibody-based therapeutic agents (antibody drugs) have attracted considerable attention as a new type of drug. Concomitantly, the use of quantitative approaches for characterizing antibody drugs, such as liquid chromatography (LC)-mass spectrometry (MS), has increased. Generally, selective quantification of antibody drugs is done using unique peptides from variable regions (V H and V L) as surrogate peptides. Further, numerous internal standards (ISs) such as stable isotope-labeled (SIL)-intact proteins and SIL-surrogate peptides are used. However, developing LC-MS methodology for characterizing antibody drugs is time-consuming and costly. Therefore, LC-MS is difficult to apply for this purpose, particularly during the drug discovery stage when numerous candidates must be evaluated. Here, we demonstrate an efficient approach to developing a quantitative LC/electrospray ionization (ESI)-selected reaction monitoring (SRM)/MS method for characterizing antibody drugs. The approach consists of the following features: (i) standard peptides or SIL-IS are not required; (ii) a peptide from the homologous monoclonal antibody serves as an IS; (iii) method development is monitored using a spiked plasma sample and one quantitative MS analysis; and (iv) three predicted SRM assays are performed to optimize quantitative SRM conditions such as transition, collision energy, and declustering potential values. Using this strategy, we developed quantitative SRM methods for infliximab, alemtuzumab, and bevacizumab with sufficient precision (<20%)/accuracy (<±20%) for use in the drug discovery stage. We have also demonstrated that choosing a higher homologous peptide pair (from analyte mAb/IS mAb) is necessary to obtain the sufficient precision and accuracy. Graphical abstract ᅟ.

Abstract
Ligand-binding assays are ideal for routine bioanalysis, but we reason that the straightforward replacement of the conventional chromogenic horseradish peroxidase substrate, 2,2′-azino-bis(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid, of a routinely used preclinical immunoassay to detect hIgG, with the fluorogenic 3-(4-hydroxyphenyl)propionic acid would broaden the narrow dynamic range. The replacement leads to a sensitivity of 0.47 (minimum required dilution [MRD] 10) and 1.02 (MRD 50) ng/ml, and dynamic ranges of 3.3 (MRD 10) and 3.6 (MRD 50) orders of magnitude, and thereby had improved sensitivity and dynamic range compared with other conventional colorimetric ELISAs, other ligand-binding assay technologies or LC–MS assays. Improvements in sensitivity and dynamic range were achieved for the sera of horse, mice and monkeys without assay optimization.

Abstract
Monoclonal antibody (mAb) and mAb-derived biotherapeutics are being developed to interact with specific target molecule(s) to intervene disease formation or progression. LC–MS/MS methods have emerged to compensate for the limitations of conventional ligand-binding assays. Application of a generic LC–MS/MS method to multiple mAb candidates can save method development time as most mAb biotherapeutics are IgG 1, 2 and 4 isotypes. Three common components are essential to a generic LC–MS/MS method: a common workflow, a common surrogate peptide and the corresponding stable isotope-labeled internal standard. The generic LC–MS/MS method is translatable from a single- into a multiple-analyte method, and from a generic into a specific method. Strategies and caveats on method applications are discussed in this chapter.

Abstract
Metabolic engineering of glycans present on antibodies and other glycoproteins is becoming an interesting research area for improving our understanding of the glycome. With knowledge of the sialic acid biosynthetic pathways, the experiments described in this report are based on a published procedure involving the addition of a synthesized azido-mannosamine sugar into cell culture media and evaluation of downstream expression as azido-sialic acid. This unique bioorthogonal sugar has the potential for a variety of "click chemistry" reactions through the azide linkage, which allow for it to be isolated and quantified given the choice of label. In this report, mass spectrometry was used to investigate and optimize the cellular absorption of peracetylated N-azidoacetylmannosamine (Ac4ManNAz) to form N-azidoacetylneuraminic acid (SiaNAz) in a Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cell line transiently expressing a double mutant trastuzumab (TZMm2), human galactosyltransferase 1 (GT), and human α-2,6-sialyltransferase (ST6). This in vivo approach is compared to in vitro enzymatic addition SiaNAz onto TZMm2 using soluble β-galactosamide α-2,6-sialyltransferase 1 and CMP-SiaNAz as donor. The in vivo results suggest that for this mAb, concentrations above 100 μM of Ac4ManNAz are necessary to allow for observation of terminal SiaNAz on tryptic peptides of TZMm2 by matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization (MALDI) mass spectrometry. This is further confirmed by a parallel study on the production of EG2-hFc monoclonal antibody (Zhang J et al. Prot Expr Purific 65(1); 77-82, 2009) in the presence of increasing concentrations of Ac4ManNAz.

Abstract
Background: In preclinical studies, monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) are traditionally assayed by ligand-binding-assays. Recently, quantitative liquid chromatography mass spectrometry (MS)-based assays have emerged which circumvent a number of challenges. These assays may also be multiplex, making them potentially compatible with pharmacokinetic assays for combined antibody therapies. Materials & methods: We combined a quantitative MS-based approach with the protein standard for absolute quantification (PSAQ™) strategy to simultaneously quantify three mAb variants presenting minor sequence differences. Stable isotopically labeled mAbs were produced and used as quantification standards. Titration curves were performed to assess the analytical performances of the method. LC-MS/MS and ELISA data were cross-compared. Results: The approach presented provides similar accuracy and precision than ELISA, while being multiplex and faster to develop. It has applications at all stages of the pharmaceutical development.
