摘要:
Articles and methods involving detection of binding between two or more species using MALDI are generally provided. In some embodiments, a method comprises exposing a first species to a composition comprising a second species, capturing the first species on a self-assembled monolayer, and performing MALDI on the self-assembled monolayer to generate a signal from the second species and a signal from a standard species present in the self-assembled monolayer. A ratio (first ratio) of the signal from the second species to the signal from the standard species may be compared to a cutoff value in order to determine if binding has occurred. This method may allow determination of a relative affinity of the second species for the first species.

Methods are provided for detecting the amount of one or more CAH panel analytes (i.e., pregnenolone, 17-OH pregnenolone, progesterone, 17-OH progesterone, dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA), androstenedione, testosterone, deoxycorticosterone, 11-deoxycortisol, and cortisol) in a sample by mass spectrometry. The methods generally involve ionizing one or more CAH panel analytes in a sample and quantifying the generated ions to determine the amount of one or more CAH panel analytes in the sample. In methods where amounts of multiple CAH panel analytes are detected, the amounts of multiple analytes are detected in the same sample injection.

The invention provides a mass-spectroscopic approach for assessing and determining the in vivo comparability of a candidate biologic molecule to a reference biologic molecule. The results can be presented in the form of an in vivo comparability profile, which can serve as a development tool, e.g., as a guide or target for the development of biologies, biosimilars,or gene therapy-based drugs. The invention further provides an approach using an in vivo comparability profile for measuring the similarity of two biologies, for example, a biosimilar and a reference approved biologic or manufacturing lots of the same biologic to confirm acceptable release criteria for a particular manufacturing lot.
