β¦ Synopsis
The viscosity profiles of four different IgG 1 molecules were studied as a function of concentration at pH 6.0. At high concentrations, MAb-H and -A showed significantly higher viscosities as compared to MAb-G and -E. Zeta Potential (j) measurements showed that all the IgG 1 molecules carried a net positive charge at this pH. MAb-G showed the highest positive zeta potential followed by MAb-E, -H, and -A. A consistent interpretation of the impact of net charge on viscosity for these MAbs is not possible, suggesting that electroviscous effects cannot explain the differences in viscosity. Values of k D (dynamic light scattering) indicated that the intermolecular interactions were repulsive for MAb-E and -G; and attractive for MAb-H and -A. Solution storage modulus (G 0 ) in high concentration solutions was consistent with attractive intermolecular interactions for MAb-H and -A, and repulsive interactions for MAb-G and -E. Effect of salt addition on solution G 0 and k D indicated that the interactions were primarily electrostatic in nature. The concentration dependent viscosity data were analyzed using a modified Ross and Minton equation. The analysis explicitly differentiates between the effect of molecular shape, size, self-crowding, and electrostatic intermolecular interactions in governing high concentration viscosity behavior.
