Table S1. Supplier, specificity and levels of the inhibitors used in protease activity diagnosis screening of
Lot B. Protease activity results presented relative to Lot B activity in the absence of inhibitors at both pH
6.0 and at pH 7.0. Notable reductions in protease activity are highlighted in bold red text. EDTA caused a
slight increase in fluorescence signal at pH 6.0, possibly due to its impact/interference on the fluorescence
of the BODIPY detection dye. Abbreviations used in table: AEBSF-HCl, 4-(2-Aminoethyl)
benzenesulfonyl fluoride hydrochloride; E-64, N-[N-(L-3-trans-carboxyirane-2-carbonyl)-L-leucyl]agmatine; [1-[N-[(L-3-trans-carboxyoxirane-2-carbonyl)-L-leucyl]amino]-4-guanidinobutane]; EDTA,
ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid.

Gel Electrophoresis
Gel electrophoresis of CHO cathepsin D samples were run on a 4-12% Bis-Tris SDS-PAGE gel
(NP0322BOX, Life Technologies, Grand Island, NY) under reducing conditions. Gels were developed
with silver stain (LC6070, Life Technologies) and Western blot at a 300 ng load. For Western blot, the gel
was transferred to a PVDF membrane (IB401002, Life Technologies), washed with 1X TBS-Tween and
incubated with 1 g/mL of AF4G5 murine anti-cathepsin D antibody (MA5-17236, ThermoFisher,
Waltham, MA). The blot was washed, incubated with a goat-anti mouse (HC+LC) secondary antibody
(0751-1809, KPL, Gaithersburg, MD) conjugated to alkaline phosphatase, and developed with BCIP/NBT
(5-bromo-4-chloro-3-indolyl-phosphate/nitro blue tetrazolium) phosphatase substrate. The Western blot
3
results confirmed that the major 48 kDa band in the silver stain gel of samples captured from both the
mAb-1 product and CCCS samples is CHO cathepsin D (lanes 4 and 5).

CHO cathepsin D samples.
Lane 1: Molecular weight marker.
Lane 2: Control sample of human liver cathepsin D (Enzo Life Sciences, SE199) showing bands at ~14
kDa and ~34 kDa on the silver stain and at ~34 kDa on the Western blot.
Lane 3: Control sample of mAb-1 product showing heavy (~50 kDa) and light chain bands (~25 kDa) on
the silver stain. Some Western blot signal was seen for mAb-1 HC and LC because the goat-anti mouse
secondary antibody was slightly cross-reactive with the human mAb-1 HC and LC.
Lane 4: Enriched cathepsin from mAb-1 product showing a band consistent with single-chain cathepsin D
(‘cat D’, at 48 kDa), and bands consistent with 2-chain cathepsin D (~14 and 34 kDa) by silver stain. A
strong signal for the single-chain cathepsin D (~48 kDa) was seen on the Western blot. Some residual
mAb-1 heavy and light chains were observed (~50 and 25 kDa).
Lane 5. Enriched cathepsin from clarified cell culture supernatant showing a strong band consistent with
single-chain cathepsin D (~48 kDa), and minor bands consistent with 2-chain cathepsin D (~14 and 34
kDa) by silver stain. A strong signal for the single-chain cathepsin D (~48 kDa) was seen on the Western
blot.
