  • Publication number: 20220267371
    Abstract: Methods of producing, purifying, and formulating antibody drug conjugates (ADCs) are provided herein. The methods use continuous conjugation processes, single-pass tangential flow filtration, countercurrent diafiltration, and/or in-line process automation technologies. The methods decrease process times and costs and improve product consistency.

  • Publication number: 20210299265
    Abstract: The present invention provides a novel method for preparing a cell-binding agent cytotoxic agent conjugate. The method comprises the step of reacting a cell-binding agent with a cytotoxic agent or a cytotoxic agent-linker compound having a reactive group capable of forming a covalent bond with the cell-binding agent at a pH between 4 to 9 in the presence of a buffer solution with high ionic strength, wherein the cell-binding agent comprises a lysine ?-NH2 group that forms a covalent bond with the cytotoxic agent or the cytotoxic agent-linker compound having an amine-reactive group. The cell-binding agent-cytotoxic agent conjugates prepared according to the methods described herein are also included in the present invention.
