    Using light scattering (LS), small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS), and coarse-grained Monte Carlo (MC) simulations, we studied the self-interactions of two monoclonal antibodies (mAbs), PPI03 and PPI13. With LS measurements, we obtained the osmotic second virial coefficient, B 22, and the molecular weight, M w, of the two mAbs, while with SAXS measurements, we studied the mAbs’ self-interaction behavior in the high protein concentration regime up to 125 g/L. Through SAXS-derived coarse-grained representations of the mAbs, we performed MC simulations with either a one-protein or a two-protein model to predict B 22. By comparing simulation and experimental results, we validated our models and obtained insights into the mAbs’ self-interaction properties, highlighting the role of both ion binding and charged patches on the mAb surfaces. Our models provide useful information about mAbs’ self-interaction properties and can assist the screening of conditions driving to colloidal stability.
