摘要
Environmental disturbances may result in dysregulation of interleukin-23 (IL-23), which is a crucial modulator of immunity. Several therapeutic monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) have been developed for treating IL-23-related autoimmune inflammation, such as ustekinumab, guselkumab, tildrakizumab, and risankizumab. Accurate bioactivity determination of therapeutic mAbs is essential for their quality control and clinical application. However, the current methods are tedious and complicated. In the present study, we employed low-background lentivirus carrying sis-inducible element (SIE)-driven firefly luciferase to generate a stable DB-SIE-Luc cell line that expresses endogenous IL-23 receptors and developed a sensitive and straightforward reporter gene assay (RGA) based on DB-SIE-Luc cells. After the optimization of various assay parameters, we set up a bioassay with the best fit of a four-parameter model and an appropriate signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) for bioactivity determination of guselkumab. We further verified the excellent assay performance characteristics of our RGA, including specificity, linearity, accuracy, precision, and stability, according to ICH-Q2. Taken together, we established a reliable and robust cell-based RGA, which potentially serves as a valubale alternative bioactivity determination assay for the release control and stability study of anti-IL-23 mAbs.
