Cloning selection

The MS techniques described previously for characterization of the final recombinant protein product can be applied at all stages during process development. MS might be used upstream to define clone selection, processing format, and purification steps, and downstream to characterize the final product, ascertain lotto-lot reproducibility, determine stability, and define the formulation of biopharmaceutical molecules. Presented here are some examples found either in the literature or from our own experience in which MS has been found to be a useful or necessary tool. Potential limitations of MS methods are discussed, and when appropriate, other analytical methods are mentioned that can be alternatives to MS and are also efficient tools for biopharmaceutical development. 

The Lab Chip instruments/methods currently commercially available generally have less resolution and are less sensitive compared to conventional CE-SDS methods. However, the high throughput of the Lab Chip technique makes it attractive for in-process monitoring during process development. The Lab Chip method is generally used for process development activities such as clone selection, cell culture process development, and optimization of the downstream purification process.

IA remains the major method for bioanalysis of macromolecule drugs. The rate-limiting step of assay development is Ab production. Traditional polyclonal or monoclonal Ab production in vivo takes about three to six months. Advancement of in-vitro Ab production could reduce the time required for immunization and clone selection. The interference problems of heterophilic Ab (human anti-animal Ab) that are present in a small percentage of normal individuals could also be eliminated. 

To prepare the DNA fragments, chose a P-RES clone selected as described in section 3.2, and inoculate a single colony in 5 mL of LB broth. It may be convenient to assay the extent of resistance of the clones by the method described in Subheading 3.5. 

Clones selected under more stringent conditions showed a further improvement in binding, in combination with the best VL previously selected (Ki= 1.1 x 10"10 M). An interesting point here is that there was no correlation between the alanine scan and the variability of the positions found amongst the best binding clones (in contrast to Ref. 95). 

We continue our Geisenheim program to breed interspecific varieties besides our broad vinifera-breeding activities and clone selection. . . We are convinced that interspecific hybridization will be fundamental to vine improvement though the German legislation presently will not allow to recommend and plant grape vines which are not vinifera. 

EST Profiling. An EST is a short, single sequence run collecting data over about 200-400 bases from a clone selected from a cCNA library. Typically, cDNA clone libraries... 

Reverse transcription of RNA is sometimes used, e.g., for clone selection by colony hybridization (Verbeek and Tijssen, 1988). Although both avian myeloblastosis virus (AMV) and Moloney murine leukemia virus (MMLV) reverse transcriptase can be used, we prefer the AMV enzyme if there are no strong secondary structures in the RNA (MMLV enzyme can be used at higher temperatures, even up to 55°C). The optimal pH range for the AMV enzyme is very narrow (should be 8.3) whereas the MMLV enzyme is active in a range of 7.6-8.3. Superscript reverse transcriptase from BRL is a cloned MMLV enzyme from which the RNase H activity has been deleted.
