Abstract
In vitro evaluations of monoclonal antibody (mAb) in drug development can be both useful and challenging. Cytotoxicity and stability of protein therapeutic candidates at relevant concentrations in cell culture are of interest in pharmaceutical research. Bioanalytical strategies for mAb LC-MS based analysis involve using either intact or digested mAb. Our approach for determining the stability of a human mAb in cultures of primary rat hepatocytes was to use enzymatic protein digestion followed by LC-MS/MS quantitation of five surrogate peptides…
