RationaleAccurate quantification of methionine oxidation in therapeutic proteins by liquid chromatography/mass spectrometry (LC/MS) is challenging due to the potential artifacts introduced during sample preparation and analysis in the peptide mapping workflow. In this study, a systematic approach for optimization of the peptide mapping procedure to achieve reliable quantification of endogenous methionine oxidation in monoclonal antibodies was developed.MethodsThe approach is based on usage of a stable‐isotope‐labeled reporter peptide, identical in sequence to the tryptic peptide of an IgG1 monoclonal antibody containing the methionine residue most prone to oxidation. This approach was applied to evaluating various desalting procedures, and tested on nanoLC/MS, microLC/MS and UPLC/MS for the peptide mapping analysis of a model monoclonal antibody IgG1 sensitive to oxidation.ResultsSeveral steps in the peptide mapping procedure with LC/MS detection at which protein oxidation occurred were identified and optimized using the reference stable‐isotope‐labeled peptide. Thus, reliable quantification of methionine oxidation in the target monoclonal antibody was validated.ConclusionsThe methodology which utilizes the reference stable‐isotope‐labeled reporter peptide is applicable to monoclonal antibody oxidation analysis and could be extended to other biotherapeutics once oxidation‐prone methionine(s) in the protein sequence are identified.
