Capillary zone electrophoresis (CZE) is one of the most efficient tools to separate charge variants of mAbs; however, peak characterization remains difficult, since the hereby used background electrolytes (BGEs) are not compatible with electrospray ionization‐mass spectrometry (ESI‐MS). Here, a method that allows the separation of intact mAb charge variants is presented using CZE‐ESI‐MS, combining a cationic capillary coating and an acidic BGE. Therefore, a successive multiple ionic‐polymer layer coating was developed based on diethylaminoethyl‐dextran–poly(sodium styrene sulfonate). This coating leads to a relatively low reversed electroosmotic flow (EOF) with an absolute mobility slightly higher than that of antibodies, enabling the separation of variants with slightly different mobilities. The potential of the coating is demonstrated using USP mAb003, where it was possible to separate C‐terminal lysine variants from the main form, as well as several acidic variants and monoglycosylated mAb forms. The presented CZE‐MS method can be applied to separate charge variants of a range of other antibodies such as infliximab, NISTmAB (Reference Material from the National Institute of Standards and Technology), adalimumab, and trastuzumab, demonstrating the general applicability for the separation of proteoforms of mAbs.","PeriodicalId":11596,"journal":{"name":"ELECTROPHORESIS","volume":"16 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.9,"publicationDate":"2024-09-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142252728","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The active particles present within the active liquid are self‐driven, demonstrate vortex defects, and enforce a circumferentially arranged polarization field. Under such circumstances, there is the development of an induced pressure‐gradient‐driven transport dictated (similar to diffusioosmotic transport) by the presence of an axial gradient in the activity (or the concentration of the active particles). This pressure‐driven transport has a profile different from the standard Hagen–Poiseuille flow in a nanocapillary. Also, this induced pressure‐driven flow drives electrokinetic effects, which are characterized by the generation of a streaming electric field, associated electroosmotic (EOS) transport opposing pressure‐driven flow, and electroviscous effect. We quantify these effects as functions of dimensionless parameters that vary inversely as the strength of the activity‐induced pressure‐driven flow and salt concentrations. Overall, we anticipate that this paper will draw immense attention toward a new type of activity‐induced pressure‐driven flow and associated electrokinetic phenomena in charged nanoconfinements.","PeriodicalId":11596,"journal":{"name":"ELECTROPHORESIS","volume":"75 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.9,"publicationDate":"2024-09-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142252732","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We made an extensive mathematical study of the electrophoresis of such core‐shell structured soft particles considering the combined impact of heterogeneity in polymer segment distribution, ion steric effect, and hydrodynamic slippage of the inner core. The mathematical model is based on the flat‐plate formalism and deduced numerical results for electrophoretic mobility are valid for weak to highly charged particles for which the particle size well exceeds the Debye‐layer thickness. In addition, we have derived closed form analytical results for electrophoretic mobility of the particle under several electrohydrodynamic limits. We have further illustrated the results for electrophoretic mobility considering a charged and hydrophobic inner core coated with an uncharged polymer layer or a polymer layer that entraps either positive or negatively charged functional groups. The impact of pertinent parameters on the overall electrophoretic motion is further illustrated.","PeriodicalId":11596,"journal":{"name":"ELECTROPHORESIS","volume":"40 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.9,"publicationDate":"2024-09-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142252780","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A device was fabricated with an array of microfluidic wells for repeated experiments; each well included a CNF mat electrode opposing an aluminum electrode. Fluorescent microspheres (1 µm) were trapped at various electric field frequencies between 30 kHz and 1 MHz. Digital images of each well were analyzed to quantify particle trapping. DEP trapping by the CNF mats was greater at all tested frequencies than that of the control of no applied field, and the greatest trapping was observed at a frequency of 600 kHz, where electrothermal flow is more significantly weakened than DEP.

In this study, we developed a label-free, real-time sensing method for the detection of miR31, which has been frequently linked to periodontitis, using an engineered protein nanopore and in the presence of a complementary ssDNA as a molecular probe. Our method is rapid and highly sensitive with nanomolar concentration of miR31 that could be determined in minutes. Furthermore, our sensor showed high selectivity toward the target miR31 sequence even in the presence of interfering nucleic acids.
