Differential Scanning Fluorimetry Reaches New Peaks on the NISTmAb
The NISTmAb is a widely characterised monoclonal antibody intended to be used as a reference molecule in the development of novel technology for therapeutic protein characterisation. In this application note, we use the SUPR-DSF to acquire differential scanning fluorimetry (DSF) data on the NISTmAb and compare the results against differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). The SUPR-DSF resolved all three domains of the NISTmAb: CH2 (69°C), CH3 (83°C), and the unusually high melting temperature of the Fab domain (94°C). In addition, the apparent melting temperatures agreed exceptionally well with the literature results. These results validate you can easily obtain high-quality protein stability information with the SUPR-DSF.
