Product overview

CHO host cell proteins (HCPs) are critical process-related impurities in biotherapeutic products such as monoclonal antibodies, fusion proteins and vaccines expressed in CHO cells. Trace residual HCPs may trigger immunogenicity risks. HCP residual testing serves as a core assay item for process characterization, in-process control and product release. Critical raw materials including antigens and antibodies of this kit are independently manufactured by Zhuhai Biori Biotechnology Co., Ltd. Comprehensive method-performance validation of the kit has been conducted in accordance with the United States Pharmacopeia, Chinese Pharmacopoeia, European Pharmacopoeia and other regulations, satisfying the technical requirements for HCP testing stipulated by domestic and international biopharmaceutical regulatory authorities. The limit of detection (LOD) of the kit is approximately 0.5 ng/mL, and the limit of quantitation (LOQ) is approximately 1 ng/mL.

Features and applications

Applications
  • CHO HCP ELISA Kit is intended for quantitative determination of host cell proteins (HCPs) in biological products expressed in Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells, including recombinant proteins, therapeutic antibodies, vaccines, and other biological products.
  • The kit can quantify residual HCP in purified intermediates, drug substance, and drug product and can be used for process optimization, process monitoring, and product release.
  • This is a generic kit and is not limited to a specific purification process. It broadly recognizes and detects HCPs originating from CHO-K1, CHO-DG44, CHOZN, and other CHO cell lines.
  • The kit is for research use only and not intended for clinical use.

Performance data

Calibration Curve (Assay Range)

Description: The standards supplied with the kit and one blank sample were tested. Each concentration was tested in triplicate, and three independent runs were performed. The Calibration curve was fitted using a four-parameter logistic model.

Figure 1 Assay-Range Test Results

Conclusion: In three replicate experiments, the calibration curves fitted by the 4PL model showed R² ≥ 0.99, and both RE and CV were ≤ 15% at all concentration points (≤ 20% for the highest and lowest concentrations). The assay range of the kit is 1.56-100 ng/mL.

Accuracy

Description: A calibration curve was prepared over the validated range. Five quality control (QC) levels—ULOQ, high (H), medium (M), low (L), and LLOQ—were prepared, and each level was tested in triplicate.

Conclusion: The CV and RE of the measured concentrations were ≤20%.

Repeatability

Description: A calibration curve was prepared over the validated range. High, medium, and low QC samples were prepared and tested in eight parallel replicates.

Inter-Analyst, Inter-Day, Inter-Instrument, Inter-lot Precision

Description: Prepare calibration curve together with HQC, MQC, LQC samples for testing of inter-analyst, inter-day, inter-instrument and inter-lot precision.

Conclusion: The inter-analyst, inter-day, inter-instrument and inter-lot CV values were all below 20%, meeting the acceptance criteria.

Specificity

Description: A calibration curve was prepared over the validated range, and potential interferents were prepared in parallel. The low (L) QC level was selected as the final spike concentration.
