Abstract: Recent ICH quality guideline updates introduced the enhanced drug development which is based on Quality by Design approach. For this a Quality Risk Management has to be conducted based on scientific knowledge. Information gaps are closed through analysis of molecules with domain-specific modifications. The aim of this thesis was to evaluate methods to prepare a model IgG1 for such studies. The antibody fragments F(ab’)2, LHF, Fab and Fc and the Fc-glycosylation cleaved IgG with residual N-acetylglucosamine were selected. A representative IgG1 was digested with the recently discovered enzymes IdeS, Kgp, IgdE and EndoS2 and the digestion products were purified with common biotechnological down-stream methods. The F(ab’)2 was successfully isolated with a yield of 55% and a purity of 96%. After an initial digestion parameter optimization the LHF, Fab and Fc could be generated and an isolation method was established. A following scale-up was unsuccessful, due to reproducibility issues. A promising alternative was identified. The enzymatic glycan cleavage and product isolation was successful with a yield of 80% and a purity of 99%.
