USP Standards to Support the Characterization of mAbs: Applications and General Chapter <129>

This event is now available on demand!

Event Overview:

The development of monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) is marked by impurities such as host cell proteins and residual DNA. USP offers solutions to evaluate the quality attributes of mAbs for therapeutic use.

Join this webinar to learn more about the validated methods that are described in USP–NF General Chapter <129> Analytical Procedures For Recombinant Therapeutic Monoclonal Antibodies, which include purity determination by size-exclusion chromatography (SEC), capillary electrophoresis, and analysis of glycans. Analytical procedures for mAbs using SEC-UHPLC and its inclusion in chapter <129> and the multi-attribute method (MAM) are also reviewed and demonstrated through case studies, and USP’s solutions to detect process-related impurities are discussed.

Key Learning Objectives:
  • Identify procedures used for evaluation of quality attributes of therapeutic mAbs included in USP–NF General Chapter <129> and other chapters.
  • Understand USP solutions for the detection of product- and process-related impurities for mAbs.
  • Explain how the USP Reference Standards and materials can be used to assess system suitability, or be applied as a tool for analytical method development.
Who Should Attend:
  • QA/QC Analysts
  • Regulatory Professionals
  • Biochemists
  • R&D Scientists and Managers
  • Manufacturing Scientists and Managers
  • Contract Research/Manufacturing Organizations
