Standard Test Method for <emph type="bdit">In Vitro</emph> Biological Activity of Recombinant Human Bone Morphogenetic Protein-2 (rhBMP-2) Using the W-20 Mouse Stromal Cell Line
使用W-20小鼠基质细胞系的重组人骨形态发生蛋白-2(rhBMP-2)的生物活性<emph type =“bdit”>体外</ emph>的生物学活性的标准测试方法
1.1 This test method describes the method used and the calculation of results for the determination of the
in-vitro
biological activity of rhBMP-2 using the mouse stromal cell line W-20 clone 17 (W-20-17). This clone was derived from bone marrow stromal cells of the W++ mouse strain.

1.2 This test method (assay) has been qualified and validated based upon the International Committee on Harmonization assay validation guidelines
3
(with the exception of interlaboratory precision) for the assessment of the biological activity of rhBMP-2. The relevance of this
in vitro
test method to
in vivo
bone formation has also been studied. The measured response in the W-20 bioassay, alkaline phosphatase induction, has been correlated with the ectopic bone-forming capacity of rhBMP-2 in the
in vivo
Use Test (UT). rhBMP-2 that was partially or fully inactivated by targeted peracetic acid oxidation of the two methionines was used as a tool to compare the activities. Oxidation of rhBMP-2 with peracetic acid was shown to be specifically targeted to the methionines by peptide mapping and mass spectrometry. These methionines reside in a hydrophobic receptor binding pocket on rhBMP-2. Oxidized samples were compared alongside an incubation control and a native control. The 62, 87, 98, and 100 % oxidized samples had W-20 activity levels of 62, 20, 7, and 5 %, respectively. The incubation and native control samples maintained 100 % activity. Samples were evaluated in the UT and showed a similar effect of inactivation on bone-forming activity. The samples with 62 % and 20 % activity in the W-20 assay demonstrated reduced levels of bone formation, similar in level with the reduction in W-20 specific activity, relative to the incubation control. Little or no ectopic bone was formed in the 7 and 5 % active rhBMP-2 implants.
1.3 Thus, modifications to the rhBMP-2 molecule in the receptor binding site decrease the activity in both the W-20 and UT assays. These data suggest that a single receptor binding domain on rhBMP-2 is responsible for both
in-vitro
and
in-vivo
activity and that the W-20 bioassay is a relevant predictor of the bone-forming activity of rhBMP-2.
1.4 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as standard. No other units of measurement are included in this standard.

====== Significance And Use ======
4.1 Although the test method can be used for assessment of the bioactivity of crude preparations of rhBMP-2, it has only been validated for use with highly pure (>98 % by weight protein purity) preparations of rhBMP-2.
