  • Patent number: 11767342
    Abstract: Herein is reported a method for the enzymatic production of an antibody with a modified glycosylation in the Fc-region comprising the steps of incubating the antibody light chain affinity ligand-bound monoclonal antibody with a glycosylation in the Fc-region with a first enzyme for a time sufficient and under conditions suitable to modify the glycosylation of the Fc-region, recovering the antibody from the antibody light chain affinity ligand, incubating the recovered antibody in solution with a second enzyme for a time sufficient and under conditions suitable to modify the glycosylation of the Fc-region to a defined form, separating the antibody with the modified glycosylation in the Fc-region from the second enzyme in a cation exchange chromatography, and thereby producing the antibody with a modified glycosylation in the Fc-region.
    Type: Grant

    Date of Patent: September 26, 2023
    Assignee: Hoffmann-La Roche Inc.

  • Patent number: 9047438
    Abstract: Herein is reported a method for determining whether a re-usable chromatography column packing, which is used at least for the second time in a purification step of a purification of a polypeptide, has reduced separation efficacy in said purification step of said purification of said polypeptide, comprising the following steps: a) identifying and determining the experimental data of an inert change of at least one physicochemical parameter of a mobile phase passing through said re-usable chromatography column packing, b) determining the parameters of a function of formula I by fitting the experimental data of the inert change of the physicochemical parameter of the at least second use, c) determining the difference between the experimental data of the inert change of the physicochemical parameter of the at least second use and the function of formula I with the parameters determined in step b), d) calculating the difference between the maximum value and the minimum value of the difference determined in step c)
