Abstract
Glycosylation plays a crucial role in determining the quality and efficacy of therapeutic antibodies. This necessitates a thorough analysis and monitoring process to ensure consistent product quality during manufacturing. In this study, we introduce a custom-designed lectin microarray featuring nine distinct lectins: rPhoSL, rOTH3, RCA120, rMan2, MAL_I, rPSL1a, PHAE, rMOA, and PHAL. These lectins have been specifically tailored to selectively bind to common N-glycan epitopes found in therapeutic IgG antibodies. By utilizing intact glycoprotein samples, our nine-lectin microarray provides a high-throughput platform for rapid glycan profiling, enabling comparative analysis of glycosylation patterns. Our results demonstrate the practical utility of this microarray in assessing glycosylation across various manufacturing batches or between biosimilar and innovator products. This capacity empowers informed decision-making in the development and production of therapeutic antibodies.
