GMP Quality Management System — always under continuous improvement
Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) is a set of standard rules formulated by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and adopted globally on personnel, premises and facilities, equipment, manufacturing management, quality management, and document management to produce high quality pharmaceuticals. As a set of compulsory standards applicable to pharmaceutical and other industries, GMP is the basic guideline for pharmaceutical manufacturing and quality management. It is applicable to all key processes that affect the finished product quality in the whole process of pharmaceutical manufacturing and in the production of drug substances. Pharmaceutical manufacturers are required to have verified production equipment, optimized manufacturing processes, a comprehensive quality management system, and a strict testing system. This ensures that the product quality meets relevant standards and to identify and solve problems occurring in the production process in a timely manner.
Throughout the whole process of pharmaceutical manufacturing, GMP controls the factors affecting the product quality through scientific approaches and effective measures to ensure that the quality of products consistently meets the manufacturing quality standards.
GMP, a set of requirements established to prevent (especially unknown) contamination, confusion and errors, is used to compensate for the limitations of final product testing.
To better support CGT-related customers, ACROBiosystems has established the GMP quality management system for GMP-grade products.

"Good, structurally-defined protein products can reduce the uncertainty and lower the risk in every step of drug research and development.”

Research-use only Grade Products
ACROBiosystems, with its extensive experience in the development of target proteins, has summarized several key points of target proteins for drug development. The key points above mainly cover elements in five aspects:
★ Purity and Homogeneity

Purity testing methods commonly used by ACROBiosystems include SDS-PAGE, HPLC, and MALS.

SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE), is an analytical detection technique of proteins. It is mostly used to determine the proportion and content of target and miscellaneous proteins. However, since the proteins are denatured before analysis, it is hard to monitor the aggregation of proteins in solution.

MALS validation of purity is a key advantage of ACROBiosystems,which ensures correct protein structure, controllable protein aggregation state, homogeneity and batch-to-batch consistency. This is also the basis for consistent results of ELISA, SPR, and BLI activity validation. Therefore, we know that customers invested in biopharmaceutical development understand that the aggregation state and batch variation of proteins used are critical.

ACROBiosystems is committed to helping customers minimize the risks of drug research and development, ensuring purity levels for customers, and providing customers with high-quality recombinant proteins that are  homogenous, consistent between batches, and more importantly, have the correct structure.

★  Confirming that the target protein is as close as possible to its natural conformation

As protein structure is the basis for functional activity, only proteins that are close to its natural conformation can properly perform and mimic its biological functions. In particular, the natural aggregation of proteins and correct formation of disulfide bonds are critical in maintaining the correct structure of proteins, and should be the main focus when developing of target proteins. ACROBiosystems selects HEK293 as the expression system of host cells, since proteins expressed by HEK293 system are better modified, including glycosylation modification, therefore closely resembling the natural conformation within human body. This cannot be achieved by other prokaryotic expression system or non-human eukaryotic system. As a critical raw material of antibody drug development, the high-quality target protein with natural conformation and correct structure can significantly increase the success rate of antibody drug development and reduce the uncertainty of drug development in critical application scenarios, such as antibodies acquisition by immunization, screening of functional antibodies and clinical validation of antibody effectiveness.

★ Activity and performance are validated in its target application scenarios

In the process of developing a target protein, it can be frequently observed that the same protein product performs completely differently under a real application scenarios. Therefore, it is necessary to establish the goals before the start of R&D and clarify the target application scenarios of the protein.

ACROBiosystems tests our protein under the target application scenario during the development process evaluates the protein performance under a simulated application scenario.

The Flow Chart of ACROBiosystems Product Quality Control

Comprehensive Quality Inspection
Well-established Stability Validation
Biological product stability is a critical part throughout the entire drug research and development, clinical trials, marketing and post-marketing quality study. This stability is the basis for the manufacturing, process, drug product formulation, packaging materials, storage, transportation conditions of the biological product. Real-time stability studies are the most reliable method to investigate product stability and determine product shelf life. However, this method is time-consuming, which greatly limits its use. Therefore, it is particularly important to find a more efficient method. The accelerated stability testing method based on Arrhenius equation is one of the recognized strategies. In recent years, more and more studies have proved its applicability and predictive accuracy.
             ACROBiosystems products are validated for stability in four aspects: accelerated, freeze-thaw, real-time, and simulated transportation.
Accelerated stability:
IL7-H4219

The Cell based assay shows that ActiveMax Human IL-7 (Cat. No. IL7-H4219) is stable at 37°C for 48 hours.

Freeze-thaw stability:

The Cell based assay shows that ActiveMax Human IL-7 (Cat. No. IL7-H4219) is stable at freezing and thawing 3 times.

Real-time storage stability:
CDE-M120a

The Cell based assay shows that Monoclonal Anti-Human CD3 Antibody (Cat. No. CDE-M120a) is stable at 4°C for 1 year.

Simulated transportation stability:
IL7-H4219

The Cell based assay shows that Human IL-15 (Cat. No. GMP-L15H13) is stable at 37°C for 14 days.

Accurate Quantification
The biopharmaceutical development process often requires accurate concentrations of protein reagents used in experiments to avoid errors. As such, the loading quantity between batches should be kept strictly consistent, which puts forward higher requirements for the accurate quantification of protein reagents. Meanwhile, strict method validation is also important.
According to ICH Q2 and Chinese Pharmacopoeia standards for different proteins, we use the relevant standards for traceability as well as a comprehensive method validation. The results of repeatability show that the CV% of the same method performed by different operators on different days was less than 3%, and the recovery rates ranged from 90% to 108%, ensuring quantitative accuracy.

There are many methods for protein quantification, such as UV spectrophotometry (UV 280), Folin-phenol method (Lowry method), BCA method, Bradford method, etc. These methods are based on different principles, and have their own advantages and limitations. For example, as long as the molar extinction coefficient is calculated according to the amino acid sequence, the UV absorption method can be used for fast protein quantification. It is a simple method which does not require special instruments, equipment, or training, making it the most used method in most laboratories. However, UV absorption method is susceptible to the interference of UV-absorbing impurities, such as residual trace nucleic acids, resulting in false high protein concentrations and batch differences caused by inconsistent quantification.
ACROBiosystems addresses these issues by adopting various quantification methods including UV absorption and BCA (modified Folin-phenol method) during the quantification of each batch of protein drug substance and finished product. Separate quantitative standards and standard batches for each protein product are also established. This fundamentally avoids the error of protein quantification caused by the limitations of any single method, and ensures the consistency of quantification among different batches of the same product, providing customers with the minimal batch-to-batch differences.
Purity/Molecular Weight Quality Control
To meet the needs of biopharmaceutical customers for high-purity protein, ACROBiosystems uses various methods including SDS-PAGE, SEC-HPLC, SEC-MALS, DLS to test the purity and homogeneity of products.
