Abstract: | Trends in preparation of PEGylated protein drugs strive for simple, fast, and cheap processes, resulting in well-defined homogeneous products. We investigated the on-column PEGylation of tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α), where purification and conjugation were performed in one step by using immobilized metal affinity chromatography (IMAC). The same quality of the PEGylated product was obtained by the on-column approach starting from either the crude Escherichia coli protein extract or the purified protein. In comparison with the PEGylation in solution, the on-column approach resulted in more homogeneous PEGylated product. The on-column PEGylation reduces the number of production steps, costs, and preparation time. |
