  • Null harvested cell culture fluid was produced using non-transfected CHO-DP12 cells cultured in serum-free media. Fermentation was performed at the 2 L-scale using a representative cell culture process. At the end of 14 days of fermentation, cell culture fluid was harvested via centrifugation and sterile filtration. This harvested cell culture fluid (HCCF) was then stored at ⁇ 70° C. until experimentation.
  • HCCF harvested cell culture fluid
  • Recombinant CHO PLBL2 with a C-terminal hexahistidine-tag was expressed in 35 L-scale transient transfections and purified from harvested cell culture fluid as previously described (Vanderlaan et al., 2015). Purified PLBL2 was then formulated in a PBS solution and stored at ⁇ 70° C. until experimentation.
  • Recombinant humanized antibodies were expressed in CHO cells and purified using column chromatography to ensure PLBL2 concentration was below 20 ng/mg. Prior to beginning each study, each antibody was buffer-exchanged into PBS using PD-10 desalting columns (GE Healthcare).
  • purified antibodies were diluted to the same concentration with PBS and spiked into HCCF from a non-producing cell line to give a final antibody titer of 5 g/L.
  • a control was also prepared wherein PBS was added instead of the purified antibody to evaluate non-specific host cell protein binding to the Protein A resin in the absence of antibody.
