    Abstract Antibody fragments and their engineered variants show true potential as next-generation therapeutics as they combine excellent targeting with superior biodistribution and blood clearance. Unlike full antibodies, however, antibody fragments do not yet have a standard platform purification process for large-scale production. Short peptide ligands are viable alternatives to protein ligands in affinity chromatography. In this work, an integrated computational and experimental scheme is described to de novo design 9-mer peptides that bind to Fab fragments. The first cohort of designed sequences was tested experimentally using human polyclonal Fab, and the top performing sequence was selected as a prototype for a subsequent round of ligand refinement in silico. The resulting peptides were conjugated to chromatographic resins and evaluated via equilibrium and dynamic binding studies using human Fab-κ and Fab-λ. The equilibrium studies returned values of binding capacities up to 32 mg of Fab per mL of resin with mild affinity (KD ∼ 10⁻⁵ M) that are conducive to high product capture and recovery. Dynamic studies returned values of product yield up to ∼90%. Preliminary purification studies provided purities of 83–93% and yields of 11–89%. These results lay the groundwork for future development of these ligands towards biomanufacturing translation.

    Abstract α-1 antitrypsin (AAT) deficiency, a major risk factor for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, is one of the most prevalent and fatal hereditary diseases. The rising demand of AAT poses a defined need for new processes of AAT manufacturing from recombinant sources. Commercial affinity adsorbents for AAT purification present the intrinsic limitations of protein ligands – chiefly, the high cost and the lability towards the proteases in the feedstocks and the cleaning-in-place utilized in biomanufacturing – which limit their application despite their high capacity and selectivity. This work presents the development of small peptide affinity ligands for the purification of AAT from Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cell culture harvests. An ensemble of ligand candidates identified via library screening were conjugated on Toyopearl resin and evaluated via experimental and in silico AAT-binding studies. Initial ranking based on equilibrium binding capacity indicated WHAKKSKFG- (12.9 mg of AAT per mL of resin), WHAKKSHFG- (16.3 mg/mL), and KWKHSHKWG- (15.8 mg/mL) Toyopearl resins as top performing adsorbents. Notably, the fitting of adsorption data to Langmuir isotherms concurred with molecular docking and dynamics in returning values of dissociation constant (KD) between 1 – 10 μM. These peptide-based adsorbents were thus selected for AAT purification from CHO fluids, affording values of AAT binding capacity up to 13 grams per liter of resin, and product yield and purity up to 77% and 97%. WHAKKSHFG-Toyopearl resin maintained its purification activity upon 20 consecutive uses, demonstrating its potential for AAT manufacturing from recombinant sources.

    Abstract Viral vectors are poised to acquire a prominent position in modern medicine and biotechnology owing to their role as delivery agents for gene therapies, oncolytic agents, vaccine platforms, and a gateway to engineer cell therapies as well as plants and animals for sustainable agriculture. The success of viral vectors will critically depend on the availability of flexible and affordable biomanufacturing strategies that can meet the growing demand by clinics and biotech companies worldwide. In this context, a key role will be played by downstream process technology: while initially adapted from protein purification media, the purification toolbox for viral vectors is currently undergoing a rapid expansion to fit the unique biomolecular characteristics of these products. Innovation efforts are articulated on two fronts, namely (i) the discovery of affinity ligands that target adeno-associated virus, lentivirus, adenovirus, etc.; (ii) the development of adsorbents with innovative morphologies, such as membranes and 3D printed monoliths, that fit the size of viral vectors. Complementing these efforts are the design of novel process layouts that capitalize on novel ligands and adsorbents to ensure high yield and purity of the product while safeguarding its therapeutic efficacy and safety; and a growing panel of analytical methods that monitor the complex array of critical quality attributes of viral vectors and correlate them to the purification strategies. To help explore this complex and evolving environment, this study presents a comprehensive overview of the downstream bioprocess toolbox for viral vectors established in the last decade, and discusses present efforts and future directions contributing to the success of this promising class of biological medicines.

    Abstract The polishing step in the downstream processing of therapeutic antibodies removes residual impurities from Protein A eluates. Among the various classes of impurities, antibody fragments are especially challenging to remove due to the broad biomolecular diversity generated by a multitude of fragmentation patterns. The current approach to fragment removal relies on ion exchange or mixed-mode adsorbents operated in bind-and-gradient-elution mode. However, fragments that bear strong similarity to the intact product or whose biophysical features deviate from the ensemble average can elude these adsorbents, and the lack of a chromatographic technology enabling robust antibody polishing is recognized as a major gap in downstream bioprocessing. Responding to this challenge, this study introduces size-exclusion mixed-mode (SEMM) silica resins as a novel chromatographic adsorbent for the capture of antibody fragments irrespective of their biomolecular features. The pore diameter of the silica beads features a narrow distribution and is selected to exclude monomeric antibodies, while allowing their fragments to access the pores where they are captured by the mixed-mode ligands. The static and dynamic binding capacity of the adsorbent ranged respectively between 30-45 and 25-33 gs of antibody fragments per liter of resin. Selected SEMM-silica resins also demonstrated the ability to capture antibody aggregates, which adsorb on the outer layer of the beads. Optimization of the SEMM-silica design and operation conditions - namely, pore size (10 nm) and ligand composition (quaternary amine and alkyl chain) as well as the linear velocity (100 cm/h), ionic strength (5.7 mS/cm), and pH (7) of the mobile phase - afforded a significant reduction of both fragments and aggregates, resulting into a final antibody yield up to 80% and monomeric purity above 97%.

    Abstract Engineered multi-specific monoclonal antibodies (msAbs) and antibody fragments offer valuable therapeutic options against metabolic disorders, aggressive cancers, and viral infections. The advancement in molecular design and recombinant expression of these next-generation drugs, however, is not equaled by the progress in downstream bioprocess technology. The purification of msAbs and fragments requires affinity adsorbents with orthogonal biorecognition of different portions of the antibody structure, namely its Fc (fragment crystallizable) and Fab (fragment antigen-binding) regions or the C

    Abstract Adeno-associated viruses (AAVs) are the vector of choice for delivering gene therapies that can cure inherited and acquired diseases. Clinical research on various AAV serotypes significantly increased in recent years alongside regulatory approvals of AAV-based therapies. The current AAV purification platform hinges on the capture step, for which several affinity resins are commercially available. These adsorbents rely on protein ligands-typically camelid antibodies-that provide high binding capacity and selectivity, but suffer from low biochemical stability and high cost, and impose harsh elution conditions (pH < 3) that can harm the transduction activity of recovered AAVs. Addressing these challenges, this study introduces peptide ligands that selectively capture AAVs and release them under mild conditions (pH = 6.0). The peptide sequences were identified by screening a focused library and modeled in silico against AAV serotypes 2 and 9 (AAV2 and AAV9) to select candidate ligands that target homologous sites at the interface of the VP1-VP2 and VP2-VP3 virion proteins with mild binding strength (K
