Abstract

Hydrogen-deuterium exchange mass spectrometry (HDX-MS) is an established, powerful tool for investigating protein-ligand interactions, protein folding, and protein dynamics. However, HDX-MS is still an emergent tool for quality control of biopharmaceuticals and for establishing dynamic similarity between a biosimilar and an innovator therapeutic. Because industry will conduct quality control and similarity measurements over a product lifetime and in multiple locations, an understanding of HDX-MS reproducibility is critical. To determine the reproducibility of continuous-labeling, bottom-up HDX-MS measurements, the present interlaboratory comparison project evaluated deuterium uptake data from the Fab fragment of NISTmAb reference material (PDB: 5K8A) from fifteen laboratories. Laboratories reported  78,900 centroids for 430 proteolytic peptide sequences of the heavy and light chains of NISTmAb, providing 100 % coverage. Nearly half of peptide sequences are unique to the reporting laboratory, and only two sequences are reported by all laboratories. The majority of the laboratories (87 %) exhibited centroid mass laboratory repeatability precisions of 〈σ^Lab 〉  0.15 ±0.01 Da (1σ_x ̅ ), and all laboratories achieved 〈σ^Lab 〉  0.4 Da. For immersions of protein at THDX = (3.6 to 25) oC and for D2O exchange times between 30 s and 4 h the reproducibility of back-exchange corrected, deuterium uptake measurements for the 15 laboratories is σ_reproducibility^(15 Labs) (t_HDX ) = (9.0 ±0.9) % (1σ). A smaller 9 laboratory cohort that immersed samples at THDX = 25 oC exhibited reproducibility of σ_reproducibility^(25C cohort) (t_HDX ) = (6.5 ±0.6) % for back-exchange corrected, deuterium uptake measurements.
