Table 1.

Surface and molecular attributes of mAbA, mAbB and mAbC. Molecular weights of mAbA, mAbB and mAbC were determined by analyzing the monomer peak eluted from a size exclusion chromatography column using a miniDawn TREOS MALS detector. Partial molar volume of the antibodies was determined by performing a densimetry assay as a function of antibody concentration in 25 mM Na-acetate buffer at pH 5.5 at 20°C. Total point charges were determined by summing the predicted point charges of solvent accessible residues at pH 5.5 using a homology model of mAbA, mAbB and mAbC. The surface aggregation propensity (SAP) score which is a measure of the surface hydrophobicity of mAb molecules was calculated using molecular dynamics simulations.
