The present disclosure relates to the use of host cell protein biomarkers to assess disulfide bond reduction in compositions comprising a protein of interest. In some embodiments, the disclosure relates to methods of predicting the occurrence of disulfide bond reduction or low molecular weight protein species in compositions comprising a protein of interest, wherein the expression or activity level of at least one host cell protein is measured and provides a benchmark value associated with the occurrence of disulfide bond reduction or low molecular weight species of said protein of interest. In some embodiments, the disclosure relates to methods of producing a protein of interest, wherein host cells capable of producing the protein of interest are cultured, the expression or activity level of at least one host cell protein is measured, and downstream isolation of the protein of interest is informed by the host cell protein measurements.
