  • bispecific antibodies that are very similar to natural antibodies have been produced using the quadroma technology (see Milstein, C., and Cuello, A. C., Nature 305 (1983) 537-540) based on the somatic fusion of two different hybridoma cell lines expressing murine monoclonal antibodies with the desired specificities of the bispecific antibody. Because of the random pairing of two different antibody heavy and light chains within the resulting hybrid-hybridoma (or quadroma) cell line, up to ten different antibody species are generated of which only one is the desired, functional bispecific antibody. Due to the presence of mispaired byproducts, and significantly reduced production yields, sophisticated purification procedures are required (see e.g. Morrison, S.

According to the glucose consumption glucose solution was added during the course of the fermentation. The supernatant containing the secreted antibody was harvested after 5-10 days and antibodies were either directly purified from the supernatant or the supernatant was frozen and stored.
  • the protein concentration of purified antibodies and derivatives was determined by determining the optical density (OD) at 280 nm, using the molar extinction coefficient calculated on the basis of the amino acid sequence according to Pace, et al., Protein Science, 1995, 4, 2411-1423.
  • the concentration of antibodies and derivatives in cell culture supernatants was estimated by immunoprecipitation with Protein A Agarose-beads (Roche). 60 ⁇ L Protein A Agarose beads were washed three times in TBS-NP40 (50 mM Tris, pH 7.5, 150 mM NaCl, 1% Nonidet-P40). Subsequently, 1-15 mL cell culture supernatant was applied to the Protein A Agarose beads pre-equilibrated in TBS-NP40.
  • the concentration of antibodies and derivatives in cell culture supernatants was quantitatively measured by affinity HPLC chromatography. Briefly, cell culture supernatants containing antibodies and derivatives that bind to Protein A were applied to an Applied Biosystems Poros A/20 column in 200 mM KH2PO4, 100 mM sodium citrate, pH 7.4 and eluted from the matrix with 200 mM NaCl, 100 mM citric acid, pH 2.5 on an Agilent HPLC 1100 system. The eluted protein was quantified by UV absorbance and integration of peak areas. A purified standard IgG1 antibody served as a standard.
  • the concentration of antibodies and derivatives in cell culture supernatants was measured by Sandwich-IgG-ELISA. Briefly, StreptaWell High Bind Streptavidin A-96 well microtiter plates (Roche) are coated with 100 biotinylated anti-human IgG capture molecule F(ab′)2 ⁇ h-Fc ⁇ > BI (Dianova) at 0.1 ⁇ g/mL for 1 hour at room temperature or alternatively overnight at 4° C. and subsequently washed three times with 200 ⁇ L/well PBS, 0.05% Tween (PBST, Sigma).
  • PBST 0.05% Tween
  • Proteins were purified from filtered cell culture supernatants referring to standard protocols. In brief, antibodies were applied to a Protein A Sepharose column (GE healthcare) and washed with PBS. Elution of antibodies was achieved at pH 2.8 followed by immediate neutralization of the sample. Aggregated protein was separated from monomeric antibodies by size exclusion chromatography (Superdex 200, GE Healthcare) in PBS or in 20 mM Histidine, 150 mM NaCl pH 6.0. Monomeric antibody fractions were pooled, concentrated (if required) using e.g., a MILLIPORE Amicon Ultra (30 MWCO) centrifugal concentrator, frozen and stored at ⁇ 20° C. or ⁇ 80° C. Part of the samples were provided for subsequent protein analytics and analytical characterization e.g. by SDS-PAGE, size exclusion chromatography (SEC) or mass spectrometry.
  • SEC size exclusion chromatography
  • the NuPAGE® Pre-Cast gel system (Invitrogen) was used according to the manufacturer's instruction. In particular, 10% or 4-12% NuPAGE® Novex® Bis-TRIS Pre-Cast gels (pH 6.4) and a NuPAGE® MES (reduced gels, with NuPAGE® Antioxidant running buffer additive) or MOPS (non-reduced gels) running buffer was used.
  • Size exclusion chromatography for the determination of the aggregation and oligomeric state of antibodies was performed by HPLC chromatography. Briefly, Protein A purified antibodies were applied to a Tosoh TSKgel G3000SW column in 300 mM NaCl, 50 mM KH 2 PO 4 /K 2 HPO 4 , pH 7.5 on an Agilent HPLC 1100 system or to a Superdex 200 column (GE Healthcare) in 2 ⁇ PBS on a Dionex HPLC-System. The eluted protein was quantified by UV absorbance and integration of peak areas. BioRad Gel Filtration Standard 151-1901 served as a standard.
  • the expected primary structures were analyzed by electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (ESI-MS) of the limited LysC digested CrossMabs.
  • ESI-MS electrospray ionization mass spectrometry
  • the antibody has been deglycosylated in advance.
  • VH/VL CrossMabs was deglycosylated with N-Glycosidase F in a phosphate or Tris or histidine buffer at 37° C. for up to 17 h at a protein concentration of 1 mg/mL and an antibody: enzyme ratio of 100:1.
  • the limited Lys-C (Roche Diagnostics GmbH, Mannheim, Germany) digestions was performed with 100 ⁇ g deglycosylated VH/VL CrossMabs in a Tris buffer pH 8 at 37° C. for 40 min.
  • the total mass was determined via ESI-MS on a maXis 4G UHR-QTOF MS system (Bruker Daltonik) equipped with a TriVersa NanoMate source (Advion).
  • the tetravalent bispecific antibody was deglycosylated with N-Glycosidase F in a phosphate or Tris or histidine buffer at 37° C. for up to 17 h at a protein concentration of 1 mg/ml and an antibody:enzyme ratio of 100:1.
  • the limited Lys-C(Roche Diagnostics GmbH, Mannheim, Germany) digestions was performed with 100 ⁇ g deglycosylated tetravalent bispecific antibody in a 100 mM citrate buffer pH 3.7 at 37° C. for 16 hours at a protein concentration of approx. 0.9 mg/mL and an antibody:enzyme ratio of 50:1.
