Abstract

Bioengineered monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) have gained significant recognition as medical therapies. However, during processing, storage and use, mAbs are susceptible to interfacial adsorption and desorption, leading to structural deformation and aggregation, and undermining their bioactivity. To suppress antibody surface adsorption, nonionic surfactants are commonly used in formulation. But how surface hydrophobicity affects the adsorption and desorption of mAbs and nonionic surfactants individually and as a mixture remains inconclusive.
Experiments
The rapid tuning of the siliconized surface from hydrophobic to hydrophilic was controlled by the UV oxidation time of a self-assembled trimethoxy(7-octen-1-yl)silane (TMOS) monolayer. Spectroscopic ellipsometry and neutron reflection were used to determine the dynamic adsorption and structural changes of the co-adsorbed mAb (COE-3) and …
