Solution behavior and stability of scFvCD7:sFasL. (A) Culture medium derived from CHO-K1 production cells containing scFvCD7:sFasL was subjected to SE-FPLC using a calibrated HiLoad 16/60 FPLC column. The apoptotic activity of each individual fraction was assessed using the FasL-sensitive CD7-positive MOLT16 cells in the presence or absence of CD7-blocking mAb TH69. The horizontal bar in the graph indicates the fractions pooled for further testing. (B) scFvCD7:sFasL was stored for various lengths of time, up to 9 days, at 37°C in the presence of 15% serum. At serial time points the remaining apoptotic activity of the stored scFvCD7:sFasL was assessed by treatment of FasL-sensitive CD7-positive CEM cells for 16 hours. Apoptotic activity was assessed by ΔΨ.
