Host Cell Proteins (HCP) are process-related impurities of biopharmaceuticals. The enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay using anti-HCP polyclonal antibody (HCP-ELISA) is gold standard method for quantitative HCP analysis. In recent years, proteomics using liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) is applied as an important orthogonal method for HCP analysis. LC-MS/MS enables identification and quantitation of individual HCPs. In this presentation, we will discuss the applications and challenges toward implementation of LC-MS/MS for HCP analysis.
