Oxidation of methionine (Met) residues is one of several chemical degradation pathways for recombinant IgG1 antibodies. Studies using several methodologies have indicated that Met oxidation in the constant IgG1 domains affects in vitro interaction with human neonatal Fc (huFcRn) receptor, which is important for antibody half-life. Here, a completely new approach to investigating the effect of oxidative stress conditions has been applied. Quantitative ultra-performance liquid chromatography mass spectrometry (MS) peptide mapping, classical surface plasmon resonance and the recently developed FcRn column chromatography were combined with the new fast-growing approach of native MS as a near native state protein complex analysis in solution. Optimized mass spectrometric voltage and pressure conditions were applied to stabilize antibody/huFcRn receptor complexes in the gas phase for subsequent native MS experiments with oxidized IgG1 material. This approach demonstrated a linear correlation between quantitative native MS and IgG-FcRn functional analysis. In our study, oxidation of the heavy chain Met-265 resulted in a stepwise reduction of mAb3/huFcRn receptor complex formation. Remarkably, a quantitative effect of the heavy chain Met-265 oxidation on relative binding capacity was only detected for doubly oxidized IgG1, whereas IgG1 with only one oxidized heavy chain Met-265 was not found to significantly affect IgG1 binding to huFcRn. Thus, mono-oxidized IgG1 heavy chain Met-265 most likely does not represent a critical quality attribute for pharmacokinetics.
