Similarity Assessment by Multivariate Statistics Method Based on Distance Between Biosimilar and Originator

The development of biosimi lar products or follow on biologics has been flourishing in recent years because of lower price than originators. In th is study, a multivariate data analysis method based on JMP software was proposed to assess the glycosylation pattern similarity of antibo dy candidates from different conditions in optimization experiment with reference. A specific distance was generated by t specific distance was generated by this method and indicated the glycoform similarity his method and indicated the glycoform similarity between biosimilar and reference. This method can be applied to analyze the similaritbetween biosimilar and reference. This method can be applied to analyze the similarity of y of other physicochemical and function characters between followother physicochemical and function characters between follow--on biologics and originators. on biologics and originators. Then the design of experiThen the design of experiments method can be realized to optimize culture conditions of cellments method can be realized to optimize culture conditions of cell culture to attain similar antibody candidatesculture to attain similar antibody candidates..
