    Abstract Monoclonal antibodies (MAbs) are powerful therapeutic tools in modern medicine and represent a rapidly expanding multibillion USD market. While bioprocesses are generally well understood and optimized for MAbs, online quality control remains challenging. Notably, N-glycosylation is a critical quality attribute of MAbs as it affects binding to Fcγ receptors (FcγRs), impacting the efficacy and safety of MAbs. Traditional N-glycosylation characterization methods are ill-suited for online monitoring of a bioreactor; in contrast, surface plasmon resonance (SPR) represents a promising avenue, as SPR biosensors can record MAb-FcγR interactions in real-time and without labeling. In this study, we produced five lots of differentially glycosylated Trastuzumab (TZM) and finely characterized their glycosylation profile by HILIC-UPLC chromatography. We then compared the interaction kinetics of these MAb lots with four FcγRs including FcγRIIA and FcγRIIB at 5°C and 25°C. When interacting with FcγRIIA/B at low temperature, the differentially glycosylated MAb lots exhibited distinct kinetic behaviors, contrary to room-temperature experiments. Galactosylated TZM (1) and core fucosylated TZM (2) could be discriminated and even quantified using an analytical technique based on the area under the curve of the signal recorded during the dissociation phase of a SPR sensorgram describing the interaction with FcγRIIA (1) or FcγRII2B (2). Because of the rapidity of the proposed method (<5 min per measurement) and the small sample concentration it requires (as low as 30 nM, exact concentration not required), it could be a valuable process analytical technology for MAb glycosylation monitoring.

    Abstract Surface Plasmon Resonance (SPR) biosensing is a well-established tool for the investigation of binding kinetics between a soluble species and an immobilized (bio)molecule. While robust and accurate data analysis techniques are readily available for single species, methods to exploit data collected with a solution containing multiple interactants are scarce. In a previous study, our group proposed two data analysis algorithms for (1) the precise and reliable identification of the kinetic parameters of N interactants present at different ratios in N mixtures and (2) the estimation of the composition of a given mixture, assuming that the kinetic parameters and the total concentration of all interactants are known. Here, we extend the first algorithm by reducing the number of necessary mixtures. This is achieved by conducting experiments at different temperatures. Through the Van't Hoff and Eyring equations, identifying the kinetic and thermodynamic parameters of N binders becomes possible with M mixtures with M comprised between 2 and N and at least N/M temperatures. The second algorithm is improved by adding the total analyte concentration as a supplementary variable to be identified in an optimization routine. We validated our analysis framework experimentally with a system consisting of mixtures of low molecular weight drugs, each competing to bind to an immobilized protein. We believe that the analysis of mixtures and composition estimation could pave the way for SPR biosensing to become a bioprocess monitoring tool, on top of expanding its already substantial role in drug discovery and development.

    Abstract Many biomedical and biosensing applications require functionalization of surfaces with proteins. To this end, the E/K coiled-coil peptide heterodimeric system has been shown to be advantageous. First, Kcoil peptides are covalently grafted onto a given surface. Ecoil-tagged proteins can then be non-covalently captured via a specific interaction with their Kcoil partners. Previously, oriented Kcoil grafting was achieved via thiol coupling, using a unique Kcoil with a terminal cysteine residue. However, cysteine-terminated Kcoil peptides are hard to produce, purify, and oxidize during storage. Indeed, they tend to homodimerize and form disulfide bonds via oxidation of their terminal thiol group, making it impossible to later graft them on thiol-reactive surfaces. Kcoil peptides also contain multiple free amine groups, available for covalent coupling through carbodiimide chemistry. Grafting Kcoil peptides on surfaces via amine coupling would thus guarantee their immobilization regardless of their terminal cysteine's oxidation state, at the expense of the control over their orientation. In this work, we compare Kcoil grafting strategies for the subsequent capture of Ecoil-tagged proteins, for applications such as surface plasmon resonance (SPR) biosensing and cell culture onto protein-decorated substrates. We compare the "classic" thiol coupling of cysteine-terminated Kcoil peptides to the amine coupling of (i) monomeric Kcoil and (ii) dimeric Kcoil-Kcoil linked by a disulfide bond. We have observed that SPR biosensing performances relying on captured Ecoil-tagged proteins were similar for amine-coupled dimeric Kcoil-Kcoil and thiol-coupled Kcoil peptides, at the expense of higher Ecoil-tagged protein consumption. For cell culture applications, Ecoil-tagged growth factors captured on amine-coupled monomeric Kcoil signaled through cell receptors similarly to those captured on thiol-coupled Kcoil peptides. Altogether, while oriented thiol coupling of cysteine-terminated Kcoil peptides remains the most reliable and versatile platform for Ecoil-tagged protein capture, amine coupling of Kcoil peptides, either monomeric or dimerized through a cysteine bond, can offer a good alternative when the challenges and costs associated with the production of monomeric cysteine-tagged Kcoil are too dissuasive for the application.

    Abstract Surface plasmon resonance (SPR)-based biosensing enables the characterization of protein-protein interactions. Several SPR-based approaches have been designed to evaluate the binding mechanism between the angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) receptor and the receptor-binding domain (RBD) of the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein leading to a large range of kinetic and thermodynamic constants. This chapter describes a robust SPR assay based on the K5/E5 coiled-coil capture strategy that reduces artifacts. In this method, ACE2 receptors were produced with an E5-tag and immobilized as ligands in the SPR assay. This chapter details methods for high-yield production and purification of the studied proteins, functionalization of the sensor chip, conduction of the SPR assay, and data analysis.

    Abstract Surface plasmon resonance-based biosensors have been extensively applied to the characterization of the binding kinetics between purified (bio)molecules, thanks to robust data analysis techniques. However, data analysis for solutions containing multiple interactants is still at its infancy. We here present two algorithms for (1) the reliable and accurate determination of the kinetic parameters of N interactants present at different ratios in N mixtures and (2) the estimation of the ratios of each interactant in a given mixture, assuming that their kinetic parameters are known. Both algorithms assume that the interactants compete to bind to an immobilized ligand in a 1:1 fashion and necessitate prior knowledge of the total concentration of all interactants combined. The effectiveness of these two algorithms was experimentally validated with a model system corresponding to mixtures of four small molecular weight drugs binding to an immobilized protein. This approach enables the in-depth characterization of mixtures using SPR, which may be of considerable interest for many drug discovery or development applications, notably for protein glycovariant analysis.

    Abstract Surface plasmon resonance (SPR)-based optical biosensors offer real-time and label-free analysis of protein interactions, which has extensively contributed to the discovery and development of therapeutic monoclonal antibodies (mAbs). As the biopharmaceutical market for these biologics and their biosimilars is rapidly growing, the role of SPR biosensors in drug discovery and quality assessment is becoming increasingly prominent. One of the critical quality attributes of mAbs is the N-glycosylation of their Fc region. Other than providing stability to the antibody, the Fc N-glycosylation influences immunoglobulin G (IgG) interactions with the Fcγ receptors (FcγRs), modulating the immune response. Over the past two decades, several studies have relied on SPR-based assays to characterize the influence of N-glycosylation upon the IgG-FcγR interactions. While these studies have unveiled key information, many conclusions are still debated in the literature. These discrepancies can be, in part, attributed to the design of the reported SPR-based assays as well as the methodology applied to SPR data analysis. In fact, the SPR biosensor best practices have evolved over the years, and several biases have been pointed out in the development of experimental SPR protocols. In parallel, newly developed algorithms and data analysis methods now allow taking into consideration complex biomolecular kinetics. In this review, we detail the use of different SPR biosensing approaches for characterizing the IgG-FcγR interactions, highlighting their merit and inherent experimental complexity. Furthermore, we review the latest SPR-derived conclusions on the influence of the N-glycosylation upon the IgG-FcγR interactions and underline the differences and similarities across the literature. Finally, we explore new avenues taking advantage of novel computational analysis of SPR results as well as the latest strategies to control the glycoprofile of mAbs during production, which could lead to a better understanding and modelling of the IgG-FcγRs interactions.

    Abstract Several key mutations in the Spike protein receptor binding domain (RBD) have been identified to influence its affinity for the human Angiotensin-Converting Enzyme 2 (ACE2). Here, we perform a comparative study of the ACE2 binding to the wild type (Wuhan) RBD and some of its variants: Alpha B.1.1.7, Beta B.1.351, Delta B.1.617.2, Kappa B.1.617.1, B.1.1.7 + L452R and Omicron B.1.1.529. Using a coiled-coil mediated tethering approach of ACE2 in a novel surface plasmon resonance (SPR)-based assay, we measured interactions at different temperatures. Binding experiments at 10 °C enhanced the kinetic dissimilarities between the RBD variants and allowed a proper fit to a Langmuir 1:1 model with high accuracy and reproducibility, thus unraveling subtle differences within RBD mutants and ACE2 glycovariants. Our study emphasizes the importance of SPR-based assay parameters in the acquisition of biologically relevant data and offers a powerful tool to deepen our understanding of the role of the various RBD mutations in ACE2 interaction binding parameters.
