Bioconjugation Process Development
  • GenScript ProBio’s bioconjugation process development platform includes the process development of lysine-baed/cysteine based stochastic conjugation, site-specific conjugation based on THIOMAB and enzyme-assisted conjugation, etc..
  • Based on the QbD concept, GenScript ProBio conducts in-depth research on key parameters of conjugation process development, such as DAR control, removal of aggregates, removal of naked Ab/residual payload, etc. and address the various challenges encountered in the process development, ensuring the rapid advancement of ADC CMC projects.
  • In addition to ADC projects, GenScript ProBio also provides bioconjugation process development service for emerging new conjugation modalities, including but not limited to,
    • AOC（Antibody-Oligonucleotide Conjugate）
    • PDC（Peptide-Drug Conjugate）
    • ACC（Antibody-Chelator Conjugate）
Formulation Process Development

The laboratories of ADC conjugation process development and formulation development are equipped with OEB-5 level isolators, which support the conjugation of multiple types of payloads.

  • The formulation study includes
  • Formulation study
  • Lyophilization screening and optimization
  • ADC DS and DP stability study: stressed, accelerated, and long-term stability
  • In-use compatibility and stability studies to support clinical dosing or toxicology studies

  • Lyophilizer

  • DSC

  • nanoDSF

  • DLS

Bioconjugation Analytical Development

GenScript ProBio established platform methods for structure confirmation, physiochemical properties, bioactivity, and impurity analysis of naked antibody and ADC. We will evaluate the impact of bioconjugation to antibody primary structure and its bioactivity, define the conjugation site(s), DAR values, and payload distribution, as well as conduct qualitative and quantitative evaluation for impurities (e.g., residual payload, residual solvents and heavy metals) introduced from bioconjugation process.

A variety of instruments and equipment and a dedicated cell engineering team are in place to support ADC method development and qualification, as well as extended characterization.

  • Conjugation site identification
  • DAR (HPLC, LC-MS, UV)
  • Drug load distribution (HPLC, LC-MS)
  • Impurity (Free payload, Residual solvent, and Heavy metal elemental analysis)
  • Biological properties (Cell-based potency-cytotoxicity, Bystander effect, Payload MOA-based effect)
