In according to the FDA “well characterized biological product” concept
and ICH Q6B guidelines, ProtTech provides following services for the
characterization and confirmation of therapeutic proteins: SDS-Polyacrylamide
gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE), Native polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis
(Native –PAGE) and isoelectric focusing (IEF).
SDS-PAGE: The estimated MWt and purity of test
protein will be reported.
Native-PAGE: Possible protein aggregation will be
analyzed and reported.
IEF:
The isoelectric point of test protein will be reported. The presence and ratio
of the heterogeneous forms due to post-transnational modifications, such as
acetylation and deamidation, will be assayed and reported.
