    Abstract Background: Charge related heterogeneities of monoclonal antibody (mAb) based therapeutic products are increasingly being considered as a critical quality attribute (CQA). They are typically estimated using analytical cation exchange chromatography (CEX), which is time consuming and not suitable for real time control. Raman spectroscopy coupled with artificial intelligence (AI) tools offers an opportunity for real time monitoring and control of charge variants.
    Objective: We present a process analytical technology (PAT) tool for on-line and real-time charge variant determination during process scale CEX based on Raman spectroscopy employing machine learning techniques.
    Method: Raman spectra are collected from a reference library of samples with distribution of acidic, main, and basic species from 0-100% in a mAb concentration range of 0-20 g/L generated from process-scale CEX. The performance of different machine learning techniques for spectral processing is compared for predicting different charge variant species.
    Result: A convolutional neural network (CNN) based model was successfully calibrated for quantification of acidic species, main species, basic species, and total protein concentration with R
    Conclusion: We demonstrate that Raman spectroscopy combined with AI-ML frameworks can deliver rapid and accurate determination of product related impurities. This approach can be used for real time CEX pooling decisions in mAb production processes, thus enabling consistent charge variant profiles to be achieved.

    Abstract The present experiment was conducted to determine the important yield components and their association with one another and with yield. The experiment was laid out under two production systems over four different locations in the mid-hills of the North-western Himalayas. Correlation studies indicated a strong positive correlation for seed yield with harvest index (EI 0.668**; EII 0.472**) and biological yield (EI 0.362; EII 0.532) in both the production systems. Whereas, a non-significant positive correlation was observed for the number of primary branches (EI 0.103; EII 0.122) and the number of secondary branches (EI 0.033; EII 0.160) in both production systems. Whereas, among other traits highly significant correlation was observed for days to 50% flowering with days to 75% maturity in both production systems (EI 0.837**; EII 0.781**) followed by plant height (EI- 0.626**; EII- 0.562**) and technical plant height (EI 0.617**; EII 0.598**). Path coefficient analysis indicated that only biological yield (EI 0.70348; EII 0.60597) and harvest index (EI 0.90210; EII 0.53283) showed a highly significant direct effect with seed yield in both production systems. This showed that selection for biological yield and harvest index would have a direct positive effect in the improvement of grain yield and are the most important determinants of yield in linseed. However, traits such as number of primary branches, number of secondary branches and 1000 seed weight should also be given significant importance since these traits also showed a positive correlation with seed yield but with indirect effects via biological yield and harvest index in EI and EII, respectively.

    Abstract Mycobacterium xenopi is a slow-growing, acid-fast, non-tuberculous mycobacterium (NTM). It is often considered to be a saprophyte or an environmental contaminant. Mycobacterium xenopi has low pathogenicity and is usually seen in patients with pre-existing chronic lung diseases and immunocompromised patients. We present a case of Mycobacterium xenopi causing a cavitary lesion in a patient with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) that was discovered incidentally during the low-dose CT scan done for lung cancer screening in a patient with COPD. The initial workup was negative for NTM. An Interventional-guided (IR) core needle biopsy was done given the high suspicion for NTM and revealed a positive culture for Mycobacterium xenopi.  Our case highlights the importance of considering NTM in the differential diagnosis of at-risk patients and pursuing invasive testing if there is a high clinical suspicion.

    Abstract Anaplasmosis is a tick-borne illness commonly seen in the northeastern states of the United States. The most common presenting signs are fever, malaise, and body aches accompanied by leukopenia, thrombocytopenia, and transaminitis. Rhabdomyolysis and acute kidney injury are rare presentations that can lead to significant morbidity.  We present the case of a patient who presented with non-specific symptoms of malaise, fatigue, and body aches and was found to have rhabdomyolysis and acute kidney injury on laboratory workup. A presumptive diagnosis of anaplasmosis was made, and the patient was started on treatment for the same. The patient recovered successfully. Our case highlights the rare presentation of anaplasmosis with rhabdomyolysis and acute kidney injury. Physician awareness is needed for early diagnosis and preventing morbidity.

    Abstract Reconstitution of a transmembrane protein in model lipid systems allows studying its structure and dynamics in isolation from the complexity of the natural environment. This approach also provides a well-defined environment for studying the interactions of proteins with lipids. In this work, we describe the FRET-GP method, which utilizes Förster resonance energy transfer (FRET) to specifically probe the nanoenvironment of a transmembrane domain. The tryptophan residues flanking this domain act as efficient FRET donors, while Laurdan acts as acceptor. The fluorescence of this solvatochromic probe is quantified using generalized polarization (GP) to report on lipid mobility in the vicinity of the transmembrane domain. We applied FRET-GP to study the transmembrane peptide WALP incorporated in liposomes. We found that the direct excitation of Laurdan to its second singlet state strongly contributes to GP values measured in FRET conditions. Removal of this parasitic contribution was essential for proper determination of GP

    Abstract We propose a strategy for automation and control of multi-step polishing chromatography in integrated continuous manufacturing of monoclonal antibodies. The strategy is demonstrated for a multi-step polishing process consisting of cation exchange chromatography in bind-and-elute mode followed by mixed-mode chromatography in flowthrough mode. A BioSMB system with a customized Python control layer is used for automation and scheduling of both the chromatography steps. Further, the BioSMB valve manifold is leveraged for in-line conditioning between the two steps, as tight control of pH and conductivity is essential when operating with multimodal resins because even slight fluctuations in load conditions adversely affect the chromatography performance. The pH and conductivity of the load to the multimodal chromatography columns is consistent, despite the elution gradient of the preceding cation exchange chromatography step. Inputs from the BioSMB pH and conductivity sensors are used for real-time control of the 7 pumps and 240 valves to achieve in-line conditioning inside the BioSMB manifold in a fully automated manner. This is confirmed by showcasing different elution strategies in cation exchange chromatography, including linear gradient, step gradient and process deviations like tubing leakage. In all the above cases, the model was able to maintain the pH and conductivity of multimodal chromatography load within the range of 6 ± 0.1 pH and 7 ± 0.3 mS/cm conductivity. The strategy eliminates the need for using multiple BioSMB units or integrating external pumps, valves, mixers, surge tanks, or sensors between the two steps as is currently the standard approach, thus offering a simple and robust structure for integrating multiple polishing chromatography steps in continuous downstream monoclonal antibody purification trains.

    Abstract Handling long-term dynamic variability in harvest titer is a critical challenge in continuous downstream manufacturing. This challenge is becoming increasingly important with the advent of high-titer clones and modern upstream perfusion processes where the titer can vary significantly across the course of a campaign. In this paper, we present a strategy for real-time, dynamic adjustment of the entire downstream train, including capture chromatography, viral inactivation, depth filtration, polishing chromatography, and single-pass formulation, to accommodate variations in titer from 1-7 g/L. The strategy was tested in real time in a continuous downstream purification process of 36 h duration with induced titer variations. The dynamic control strategy leverages real-time NIR-based concentration sensors in the harvest material to continuously track the titer, integrated with an in-house Python-based control system that operates a BioSMB for carrying out capture and polishing chromatography, as well as a series of pumps and solenoid valves for carrying out viral inactivation and formulation. A set of 9 different methods, corresponding to the different harvest titers have been coded onto the Python controller. The methods have a varying number of chromatography columns (3-6 for Protein A and 2-10 for CEX), designed to ensure proper scheduling and optimize productivity across the entire titer variation space. The approach allows for a wide range of titers to be processed on a single integrated setup without having to change equipment or to re-design each time. The strategy also overcomes a key unexplored challenge in continuous processing, namely hand-shaking the downstream train to upstream conditions with long-term titer variability while maintaining automated operation with high productivity and robustness.

    Abstract Continuous integrated bioprocessing has elicited considerable interest from the biopharma industry for the many purported benefits it promises. Today many major biopharma manufacturers around the world are engaged in the development of continuous process platforms for their products. In spite of great potential, the path toward continuous integrated bioprocessing remains unclear for the biologics industry due to legacy infrastructure, process integration challenges, vague regulatory guidelines, and a diverging focus toward novel therapies. In this article, we present a review and perspective on this topic. We explore the status of the implementation of continuous integrated bioprocessing among biopharmaceutical manufacturers. We also present some of the key hurdles that manufacturers are likely to face during this implementation. Finally, we hypothesize that the real impact of continuous manufacturing is likely to come when the cost of manufacturing is a substantial portion of the cost of product development, such as in the case of biosimilar manufacturing and emerging economies.

    Abstract Transmembrane (TM) proteins interact closely with the surrounding membrane lipids. Lipids in the vicinity of TM proteins were reported to have hindered mobility, which has been associated with lipids being caught up in the rough surface of the TM domains. These reports, however, neglect one important factor that largely influences the membrane behavior - electrostatics of the TM peptides that are usually positively charged at their cytosolic end. Here, we study on the example of a neutral and a positively charged WALP peptide, how the charge of a TM peptide influences the membrane. We investigate both its dynamics and mechanics by: (i) time dependent fluorescent shift in combination with classical and FRET generalized polarization to evaluate the mobility of lipids at short and long-range distance from the peptide, (ii) atomic force microscopy to observe the mechanical stability of the peptide-containing membranes, and (iii) molecular dynamics simulations to analyze the peptide-lipid interactions. We show that both TM peptides lower lipid mobility in their closest surroundings. The peptides cause lateral heterogeneity in lipid mobility, which in turn prevents free lipid rearrangement and lowers the membrane ability to seal ruptures after mechanical indentations. Introduction of a positive charge to the peptide largely enhances these effects, affecting the whole membrane. We thus highlight that unspecific peptide-lipid interactions, especially the electrostatics, should not be overlooked as they have a great impact on the mechanics and dynamics of the whole membrane.
