NEW! We’re Launching FabRICATOR Xtra LALA Lyophilized!

September 19, 2024 | New Product, News |

We’re excited to share that we are launching a new member of the SmartEnzymes™ family that will facilitate middle-level analysis of hinge-mutated IgG!
 
FabRICATOR Xtra LALA is an IgG-specific protease that digests antibodies which have been engineered to contain mutated hinges, including the LALA mutation. It digests below the hinge, generating F(ab’)2 and Fc fragments. FabRICATOR Xtra LALA is active on a variety of antibodies with mutated hinge regions and enables middle-level LC-MS characterization of critical quality attributes of hinge-mutated antibody-based therapeutics.

IgMBRAZOR™ in a Study on Structural Characterization of IgM


Scientists at Utrecht University and collaborators have described the use of online SEC combined with Orbitrap-based CDMS to perform real-time kinetic monitoring of pentameric IgM digestion by the protease IgMBRAZOR, a novel protease which digests specifically at a single site in the hinge region of IgM. While IgMBRAZOR was shown to efficiently digest IgM, it was observed that digestion of one of the F(ab’)2 subunits occurred more slowly than the other four. It is suggested that interactions of the J-chain within the pentameric IgM structure may influence the accessibility of the IgMBRAZOR enzyme, thus, impacting the digestion kinetics. SEC-CDMS allows the characterization of heterogeneous and large proteins, enabling unique experimental designs such as monitoring of reaction kinetics from physiological buffers.

TransGLYCIT™ in a Study on Antibody Characterization


Scientists from the Wistar Institute in Philadelphia and collaborators have studied the IgG N-glycan structures and inflammatory aging markers of people living with and without HIV to determine a potential structure-function relationship. In this study, TransGLYCIT was used to generate anti-HIV antibodies with defined N-glycan structures to study Fc-mediated immune activities in vitro.

Say Hello to IgASAP™ Sub1+2 Lyophilized!

March 25, 2024 | News, Products |

IgASAP is a family of IgA-digesting enzymes. IgASAP Sub1 is an IgA1-specific enzyme that digests human IgA1 at one specific site above the hinge, and the enzyme we’re launching today, IgASAP Sub1+2, specifically digests IgA1 and IgA2m1 above the hinge. Both enzymes generate intact and homogenous Fab and Fc fragments.
 
The IgASAP enzymes enable generation of intact monovalent Fab fragments as well as middle-level analysis of IgA1, which facilitates IgA1 characterization during, for example, the development of vaccines, therapeutics, and diagnostics.

GlyCLICK® Enhances Development of Immuno-SPECT/Fluorescent Tracer for PD-L1 in Preclinical Models


Scientists at Université de Bourgogne and collaborators have described the development of a bimodal tracer targeting PD-L1 in human and murine models for preclinical studies. Using a [111In]-DOTA-aza-BODIPY bimodal probe following conjugation onto PD-L1 monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) through either site-specific or random methods, the ability of the bimodal antibodies to selectively identify PD-L1+ tumors were assessed using both fluorescence and SPECT imaging. There were significant benefits observed with the probe generated using the GlyCLICK site-specific conjugation method compared to a random lysine conjugation approach!

NEW! We’re Launching PNGase F Automation!

January 31, 2024 | New Product, News |

PNGase F is a glycoamidase hydrolyzing the amide bond between the polypeptide asparagine and the innermost GlcNAc of all mammalian asparagine-linked complex, hybrid, or high mannose oligosaccharides. Today, we’re excited to launch this well-known enzyme in a new and unique format – PNGase F Automation – for automated hydrolysis of N-glycans on glycoproteins!
 
PNGase F Automation contains the PNGase F enzyme lyophilized in an automation-friendly 96-well plate format. It enables high-throughput N-glycan removal to facilitate simplified downstream analysis of a range of glycoprotein substrates.
