The percentage of trisulfide variants is a product quality metric that is monitored during the manufacture of monoclonal antibody (mAb)-based therapeutics. Results from earlier preclinical studies revealed that trisulfide linkages in mAbs are rapidly converted to disulfides in circulation. In this study, casirivimab and imdevimab, which are both IgG1 subclass mAbs that target the non-overlapping epitopes in SARS-CoV2 Spike protein, are used as models to study the kinetics of trisulfide-to-disulfide conversion in vivo in human circulation. To determine the percentage of trisulfide variants in systemic circulation immediately after intravenous injection, both mAbs were immunoprecipitated from serum samples collected from COVID-19 patients that received this cocktail antibody treatment as part of a first-in-human study. The immunoprecipitated mAbs were then digested under non-reducing conditions and evaluated by liquid-chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS). Significant reductions in the percentages of trisulfide variants were observed in serum samples as early as 1 hr after completion of the intravenous infusion. A flow-through dialysis model designed to mimic the redox potential of blood revealed a plausible chemical mechanism for the rapid trisulfide-to-disulfide conversion of IgG1 subclass mAbs under physiological conditions.
