Antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) are an increasingly prevalent drug class utilized as chemotherapeutic agents. The complexity of ADCs, including their large size, array of drug conjugation sites, and heterogeneous compositions containing from zero to several payloads, demands the use of advanced analytical characterization methods. Tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS) strategies, including a variety of bottom-up, middle-down, and even top-down approaches, frequently applied for the analysis of antibodies are increasingly being adapted for antibody-drug conjugates. Middle-down tandem mass spectrometry, often focusing on the analysis of similar to 25 kDa protein subunits, offers the potential for complete sequence confirmation as well as the identification of multiple conjugation states. While middle-down studies have been extensively developed for monoclonal antibodies, middle-down characterization of ADCs has been limited by the high complexity of the drug molecules. This study seeks to bridge the gap by utilizing a combination of 193 nm ultraviolet photodissociation (UVPD), electron-transfer dissociation (ETD), and electron-transfer/higher-energy collision dissociation (EThcD). The compilation of these MS/MS methods leads to high sequence coverages of 60-80% for each subunit of the ADC. Moreover, the combined fragmentation patterns provide sufficient information to allow confirmation of both the sequence of the complementarity-determining regions and the payload conjugation sites.
