Abstract:
BACKGROUND: While HIV-1 TAT peptide-conjugation shows great promise on improving intracellular delivery of biotherapeutics in vitro and in vivo, quantification of TAT-fusion therapeutics in biological matrices represents a daunting challenge.
METHODS: A sensitive MS approach for accurate quantification of intact TAT-fusion protein/polypeptide in plasma was developed. i) A semi-automated 96-well ion-exchange solid phase extraction was developed; ii) a rapid LC separation on C4 was devised; iii) a TAT-fusion analog was constructed as internal standard.
RESULTS: We reported that low percentage of supercharging reagents enabled a significant sensitivity improvement of MS for intact TAT-fusion protein/polypeptide analysis. We showed a proof of concept by successfully developing a sensitive LC/MRM-MS method for quantifying GAP161, a TAT-conjugating RasGAP mimics, in rat plasma.
CONCLUSIONS: This work represents the first quantification of TAT-fusion therapeutics in biological samples by an LC-MS based method.
