Abstract: Antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) are ideal candidates for selective therapy. ADCs exhibit considerable heterogeneity due to various modifications. One of the molecular characteristics of ADCs is charge heterogeneity. Several analytical methods can be used to characterise the charge heterogeneity of ADC, including ion exchange chromatography (IEC), isoelectric focusing (IEF), and capillary electrophoresis (CE). This work aimed to provide insights into the various analytical techniques used to determine the pI and charge distribution profile of ADCs.
