TABLE 1 content of sialic acid by HPLC
Product(s) Neu5Gc (mol/mol protein) Neu5Ac (mol/mol protein)
Xiumeile ≤0.092 ≤0.097
As a result, as shown in fig. 3, when the sample and the sialic acid standard were subjected to the same pretreatment and chromatograms were compared, it was found that the retention time of Neu5Gc and Neu5Ac in the sample was consistent with that of the standard, and the peak area of the sample was substituted into the Neu5Gc standard curve:
Y=9.93×1010X-6.97×105

In the present example, it can be seen from the combination of FIG. 3 and Table 1 that sialic acid content in the mAb product, Xiamelete, was successfully obtained.
Comparative example 1 acid liquor comparison of different concentrations
Comparing R of standard curves of Neu5Gc and Neu5Ac under different concentrations (2-6M) of acetic acid2,R2Closer to 1, the more linear the sialic acid standard is represented by the corresponding acetic acid concentration.
According to the preparation steps in example 1, the protein samples after liquid change are mixed with acetic acid with the concentrations of 2M, 3M, 4M, 5M and 6M respectively, incubated, and detected according to the following method:
step 1), add 25. mu.L of 2M, 3M, 4M, 5M, 6M acetic acid to 25. mu.L of 1mg/mL standard, mix well, incubate for 2 hours at 80 ℃.
Step 2), 50. mu.L of DMB solution (1.5M acetic acid, 14mM sodium dithionite, 0.8M 2-mercaptoethanol, 13mM DMB) was added to the above system, mixed well, and incubated at 50 ℃ for 2.5 hours in the dark. Cooling to room temperature and bottling for testing.

It can be seen that too high or too low an acetic acid concentration has an effect on the linearity of the standard, and therefore the optimum treatment conditions are 4M acetic acid, R of the standard curve for Neu5Gc versus Neu5Ac2Are all 1.00.
Comparative example 2 comparison of acid solutions
The acetic acid in step (2) of example 1 was replaced with trifluoroacetic acid, and the other conditions were the same as in example 1, comparing the difference between trifluoroacetic acid and acetic acid.
The results are shown in tables 2 and 3.
TABLE 2 recovery under trifluoroacetic acid treatment conditions
Figure BDA0003451572630000061
*: because the concentration of the sample is diluted by one time during detection, about half of the actually measured concentration which is the theoretical standard-added concentration is a normal value.
TABLE 3 recovery under acetic acid treatment
Figure BDA0003451572630000062
*: because the concentration of the sample is diluted by one time during detection, about half of the actually measured concentration which is the theoretical standard-added concentration is a normal value.
As shown in FIGS. 2 and 5, under the 4M acetic acid treatment condition, the two kinds of sialic acid standards, Neu5Gc and Neu5Ac, have good linearity in the concentration ranges of 0.0002-0.01 g/L and 0.0002-0.01 g/L, respectively, and are superior to trifluoroacetic acid.
As can be seen from tables 2 and 3, under the conditions of 4M acetic acid and 4M trifluoroacetic acid treatment, different concentrations of standards were added to the same sample, and then analyzed to yield the recovery of the added different concentrations of standards. The results are shown in the table above and the comparison shows that the average recovery is 111% under trifluoroacetic acid treatment and 105% under acetic acid treatment. Therefore, the acetic acid treatment condition can obtain a better accuracy result, and the accuracy of the detection result is improved.
