Abstract
In vitro cell based assays are performed throughout the drug development process. Probing cytotoxicity and stability of a drug candidate at relevant concentrations in cell culture are of interest in pharmaceutical research. Building upon the research presented at the 2019 ASMS Conference, we evaluated the stability of a human monoclonal antibody (mAb) in cultures of primary rat hepatocytes using enzymatic protein digestion and LC-MS quantitation of surrogate peptides to develop and optimize a method and demonstrate applicability of the surrogate peptide approach to in vitro assays for biopharmaceuticals…
