Analytical comparability assessment on glycosylation of ziv-aflibercept and the biosimilar candidate

Ziv-aflibercept (aflibercept) is a recombinant fusion protein which combines the portions of human vascular endothelial growth factor receptors extracellular domains fused to the Fc portion of human IgG1. It is a highly sialylated glycoprotein with 5 N-glycosylation sites. In this study, a comprehensive strategy for comparability study of the complex glycosylation was developed between aflibercept and the biosimilar candidate including the...
