Analytical methodologies used to compare Remicade and Remsima.

Analytical Method Sample Processing Measured Attributes Method Advantages
Native MS, IM-MS Buffer exchange, Deglycosylation, IdeS digest Intact mass, fragments, aggregation, glycation, higher order structure, gas-phase stability Limited sample preparation, rapid analysis, low detection limit and high information content
Denaturing MS Deglycosylation and reduction Intact masses of subunits, C-terminal Lys truncation Information on accurate subunit mass and heterogeneity
Peptide Mapping Trypsin digest,Glu-C digest Sequence, mutations, oxidations, deamidations, glycosylation Glycations Single analysis allows for identification and quantification of multiple attributes
Size Exclusion Chromatography None Level of Aggregation N.A.
Biolayer Interferometry Buffer exchange Fc receptor binding KD N.A.
