Overview

The CHO Host Cell Protein (HCP) kit measures contaminants originating from the CHO cells used to manufacture therapeutic antibodies. The kit can be used for the quantification of CHO HCP proteins in routine bioprocess operations, from the completely raw harvest material to the final product. The simple and robust procedure benefits from increased throughput compared to ELISA.

How it works

Assay principle

The CHO Host Cell Protein (HCP) assay is a sandwich immunoassay. The assay uses a specific and qualified anti-CHO HCP polyclonal antibody pool, labelled with Eu3+-Cryptate and t d2. The specific signal is proportional to the concentration of CHO HCP present in the sample. This homogeneous assay requires only a single reagent addition (by premixing the detection reagents), and an overnight incubation, for the quantitative detection of CHO HCP.

Assay protocol

The CHO HCP assay protocol, using a 384-well small volume white plate, is described on the right. 16 µL of sample or standard are dispensed directly into the detection plate for detection by HTRF® reagents. The antibodies labeled with the HTRF donor and acceptor can be pre-mixed and added in a single dispensing step, to further streamline the assay procedure. This protocol requires only 1 overnight incubation period.

Sample Mean [CHO HCP] (ng/mL) %CV
1 10 9%
2 29 5%
3 97 4%
4 292 5%

Each of the 4 samples was measured in 4 independent experiments by 4 different operators, and the  concentration % CV was calculated for each sample.

Three different levels of CHO HCP Standard were independently mixed with three different sample concentrations (cell culture supernatant from a biomanufacturing process using the CHO-DG44 cell line). The total measured concentrations were compared to the theoretical ones, and expressed as % Antigen recovery (acceptance criteria: 85-115%).

CHO-S HCP sample

Dilution Factor Expected [CHO HCP] (ng/mL) Measured [CHO HCP] (ng/mL) % Recovery
