Effects of Solution Additives on mAb Conformational and Colloidal Stability and Surface Tension

mAb [NaCl] (mM) Additive Tm1, Tm2 (°C)a kDb Surface Tension (mN/M)c
mAbA 150 67.6, 78.7 −17.4 54.8 ± 0.5
mAbA 0 No Tm1, 78.2 −13.1 54.8 ± 0.4

mAbA 150 10 mM HPβCD 68.4, 78.9 −20.0 53.5 ± 1.4
mAbA 150 150 mM Arg 66.8, 78.3 −10.3 54.7 ± 0.3
mAbA 150 80 mM Phe 66.2, 77.3 −14.8 45.0 ± 0.2

All samples were prepared in 10 mM histidine, pH 6.0.

a

Melting temperatures indicating conformational stability were determined using DSC (n = 2, mean).

b

kD captures colloidal stability and was determined as the slope/intercept of the D versus [mAb] graph generated from DLS data (n = 3, with six wells measured in each experiment).

c

Surface tensions are reported for 5mg/mL mAb solutions (n = 3, mean ± SE).
