Abstract:
Methylglyoxal (MGO)-modified recombinant TNF-alpha antibodies (e.g., Adalimumab) are identified. MGO modification decreases binding between Adalimumab and TNF-alpha. Methods are disclosed for reducing the presence of MGO-modified antibodies in the production of Adalimumab TNF-alpha antibodies.
Abstract:
The instant invention relates to the field of protein production and purification, and in particular to compositions and processes for controlling the distribution or amount of lysine variants expressed by host cells, as well as to compositions and processes for controlling the amount of lysine variants present in purified preparations.

Abstract:
The instant invention relates to modulated lysine variant species compositions comprising a protein, e.g., an antibody, or antigen-binding portion thereof, and methods, e.g., cell culture and/or protein purification methods, for producing such modulated lysine variant species compositions. Methods for using such compositions to treat a disorder, e.g., a disorder in which TNFα is detrimental, are also provided.
Abstract:
Methods are provided for controlling the levels of acidic species when a protein of interest is expressed by host cells. One particular example of an acidic species is methylglyoxal (MGO). Reduction of acidic species such as MGO may be achieved by regulating the glucose consumption of the cell culture or by modulating the cysteine/glutathione metabolic pathways.
