The anti-CD52 antibody has already been approved for the treatment of patients with resistant chronic lymphocytic leukemia, relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis, and has demonstrable efficacy against stem cell transplantation rejection. A CHO cell line expressing a humanized anti-CD52 monoclonal antibody (mAb-TH) was cultivated in both fed-batch and perfusion modes, and then purified. The critical quality attributes of these mAb variants were characterized and the pharmacokinetics (PK) properties were investigated. Results showed that the perfusion culture achieved higher productivity, whereas the fed-batch culture produced more aggregates and acid components. Additionally, the perfusion culture produced similar fucose, more galactose and a higher proportion of sialic acid on the anti-CD52 mAb compared to the fed-batch culture. Furthermore, the perfusion process produced anti-CD52 mAb had higher complement-dependent cytotoxicity (CDC) efficacy than that produced by the fed-batch culture, a result probably linked to its higher galactose content. However, antibody produced by fed-batch and perfusion cultures showed similar PK profiles in vivo. In conclusion, perfusion is a more efficient method than fed-batch process in the production of functional anti-CD52 monoclonal antibody. Product quality variants of anti-CD52 mAb were found in different cell culture processes, which demonstrated different physiochemical and biological activities, but comparable PK properties. Whether these observations apply to all mAbs await further investigation.
