Fig. 7From: Enzymatic basis of the Fc-selective intra-chain disulfide reduction and free thiol content variability in an antibody produced in Escherichia coliDsbC is responsible for disulfide bond reduction in mAb1 during blank host homogenate hold. A blank host fermentation was carried out using the same production host and process, but the plasmid did not contain genes for expression of mAb1 light and heavy chains and dsbC. a Dose dependent increase in free thiol in presence of DsbC. Note that “-DsbC” indicates that no DsbC was spiked. A blank host homogenate contains DsbC due to chromosomal expression, b RP-HPLC profiles of mAb1 MSS pools derived from homogenate held for 16 h in presence of DsbC. Results shown are for n = 1 sampleBack to article page
