This contribution describes the preparation of strong anion-exchange membranes with higher protein binding capacities than the best commercial resins. Quaternary amine (Q-type) anion-exchange membranes were prepared by grafting polyelectrolyte nanolayers from the surfaces of macroporous membrane supports. A focus of this study was to better understand the role of polymer nanolayer architecture on protein binding. Membranes were prepared with different polymer chain graft densities using a newly developed surface-initiated polymerization protocol designed to provide uniform and variable chain spacing. Bovine serum albumin and immunoglobulin G were used to measure binding capacities of proteins with different size. Dynamic binding capacities of IgG were measured to evaluate the impact of polymer chain density on the accessibility of large size protein to binding sites within the polyelectrolyte nanolayer under flow conditions. The dynamic binding capacity of IgG increased nearly linearly with increasing polymer chain density, which suggests that the spacing between polymer chains is sufficient for IgG to access binding sites all along the grafted polymer chains. Furthermore, the high dynamic binding capacity of IgG (>130 mg/mL) was independent of linear flow velocity, which suggests that the mass transfer of IgG molecules to the binding sites occurs primarily via convection. Overall, this research provides clear evidence that the dynamic binding capacities of large biologics can be higher for well-designed macroporous membrane adsorbers than commercial membrane or resin ion-exchange products. Specifically, using controlled polymerization leads to anion-exchange membrane adsorbers with high binding capacities that are independent of flow rate, enabling high throughput. Results of this work should help to accelerate the broader implementation of membrane adsorbers in bioprocess purification steps. 相似文献

Pure formamide and ethylene glycol are used instead of water as processing media for protein chromatography. A number of common proteins are freely soluble in these solvents and most do not undergo irrersible inactivation in them. Batch adsorption studies reveal that proteins readily adsorbed to various ion-exchangers in formamide and ethyline glycol and subsequently can be completely desorbed by adding inorganic salts (LiCl and NH(4)NO(3)) to the solvents. The idea of protein separations in formamide and ethylene glycol is illustrated by column chromatography and preparative separation of mixtures of (i) oxidized A and B chains of insulin and (ii) lysozyme and ribonuclease on the anion-exchanger triethylaminoethycellulose and the cation-exchanger phosphocellulose, respectively. 相似文献

Tobacco has proven to be a promising alternative for the production of recombinant therapeutic proteins and offers numerous advantages over other plants as a host system. However, the recovery and purification steps needed to obtain a protein at high recovery and purity have not been well investigated. In this study, a process was developed to purify a model acidic protein, recombinant beta-glucuronidase (rGUS) from transgenic tobacco leaf tissue, in three main steps after extraction: polyelectrolyte precipitation, hydrophobic interaction chromatography (HIC), and hydroxyapatite chromatography (HAC). Using this three-step process, up to 40% of the initial rGUS activity could be recovered to near homogeneity as judged by SDS-PAGE. This work demonstrates that acidic recombinant proteins expressed in tobacco may be purified to high yield with high purity in a minimal amount of steps that are suitable for scale-up. Furthermore, the general steps used in this process may suggest that a wide variety of acidic recombinant proteins may be purified in a similar manner from transgenic tobacco or other leafy crops. 相似文献

Integrated designs of chromatographic processes for purification of biopharmaceuticals provides potential gains in operational efficiency and reductions of costs and material requirements. We describe a combined method using screening and in silico algorithms for ranking chromatographic steps to rapidly design orthogonally selective integrated processes for purifying protein therapeutics from both process- and product-related impurities. IFN-α2b produced in Pichia pastoris containing a significant product variant challenge was used as a case study. The product and product-related variants were screened on a set of 14 multimodal, ion exchange, and hydrophobic charge induction chromatography resins under various pH and salt linear gradient conditions. Data generated from reversed-phase chromatography of the fractions collected were used to generate a retention database for IFN-α2b and its variants. These data, in combination with a previously constructed process-related impurity database for P. pastoris, were input into an in silico process development tool that generated and ranked all possible integrated chromatographic sequences for their ability to remove both process and product-related impurities. Top-ranking outputs guided the experimental refinement of two successful three step purification processes, one comprising all bind-elute steps and the other having two bind-elute steps and a flowthrough operation. This approach suggests a new platform-like approach for rapidly designing purification processes for a range of proteins where separations of both process- and product-related impurities are needed. 相似文献

Lentiviral vectors (LVs) have been increasingly used as a tool for gene and cell therapies since they can stably integrate the genome in dividing and nondividing cells. LV production and purification processes have evolved substantially over the last decades. However, the increasing demands for higher quantities with more restrictive purity requirements are stimulating the development of novel materials and strategies to supply the market with LV in a cost-effective manner. A detailed review of each downstream process unit operation is performed, limitations, strengths, and potential outcomes being covered. Currently, the majority of large-scale LV manufacturing processes are still based on adherent cell culture, although it is known that the industry is migrating fast to suspension cultures. Regarding the purification strategy, it consists of batch chromatography and membrane technology. Nevertheless, new solutions are being created to improve the current production schemes and expand its clinical use. 相似文献

Fusion‐tag affinity chromatography is a key technique in recombinant protein purification. Current methods for protein recovery from mammalian cells are hampered by the need for feed stream clarification. We have developed a method for direct capture using immobilized metal affinity chromatography (IMAC) of hexahistidine (His6) tagged proteins from unclarified mammalian cell feed streams. The process employs radial flow chromatography with 300–500 μm diameter agarose resin beads that allow free passage of cells but capture His‐tagged proteins from the feed stream; circumventing expensive and cumbersome centrifugation and/or filtration steps. The method is exemplified by Chinese Hamster Ovary (CHO) cell expression and subsequent recovery of recombinant His‐tagged carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA); a heavily glycosylated and clinically relevant protein. Despite operating at a high NaCl concentration necessary for IMAC binding, cells remained over 96% viable after passage through the column with host cell proteases and DNA detected at ～8 U/mL and 2 ng/μL in column flow‐through, respectively. Recovery of His‐tagged CEA from unclarified feed yielded 71% product recovery. This work provides a basis for direct primary capture of fully glycosylated recombinant proteins from unclarified mammalian cell feed streams. Biotechnol.

Downstream bioprocessing and especially chromatographic steps, commonly used for the purification of multicomponent systems, are significant cost drivers in the production of therapeutic proteins. There has been an increased interest in the development of systematic methods for the design of such processes, and the appropriate selection of a series of chromatographic steps is still a major challenge to be addressed. Several models have been developed previously but have assumed that 100% recovery of the desired product is obtained at each chromatographic step. In this work, a mathematical framework is proposed, based on mixed integer optimisation techniques, that removes this assumption and allows full flexibility on the position of retention time cut-points, between which the desired product fraction is collected. The proposed model is demonstrated on three example protein mixtures, each containing up to 13 contaminants and selecting from a set of up to 21 candidate steps. The proposed model results in a reduction of one to three chromatographic steps over solutions that no losses are allowed. 相似文献

A new approach for in situ product removal from bioreactors is presented in which high-gradient magnetic separation is used. This separation process was used for the adsorptive removal of proteases secreted by Bacillus licheniformis. Small, non-porous bacitracin linked magnetic adsorbents were employed directly in the broth during the fermentation, followed by in situ magnetic separation. Proof of the concept was first demonstrated in shake flask culture, then scaled up and applied during a fed batch cultivation in a 3.7 L bioreactor. It could be demonstrated that growth of B. licheniformis was not influenced by the in situ product removal step. Protease production also remained the same after the separation step. Furthermore, degradation of the protease, which followed first order kinetics, was reduced by using the method. Using a theoretical modeling approach, we could show that protease yield in total was enhanced by using in situ magnetic separation. The process described here is a promising technique to improve overall yield in bio production processes which are often limited due to weak downstream operations. Potential limitations encountered during a bioprocess can be overcome such as product inhibition or degradation. We also discuss the key points where research is needed to implement in situ magnetic separation in industrial production. 相似文献

Nylon 6 capillary‐channeled polymer (C‐CP) fibers are investigated as an alternative support/stationary phase for downstream processing of macromolecules. Ionizable amine and carboxylic acid end groups on the native fiber surface allow for ion exchange chromatography (IEC). The low cost and ability to operate at high linear velocities and low back pressures are practical advantages of C‐CP fibers for preparative‐scale macromolecule separations. The lack of fiber porosity ensures facile adsorption/desorption that is conducive to high throughput and recoveries/yields. Described here is a preliminary investigation of the processing characteristics of lysozyme on nylon 6 fibers with an eye toward downstream processing applications. Fibers were packed into microbore (0.8 mm i.d.) and analytical‐size (2.1 mm i.d.) columns for the evaluation of the role of linear velocity on pressure drop, frontal throughput, and yield. Protein isolation by frontal development involved three steps: loading of the column to breakthrough, an aqueous wash, and a salt wash to recover the protein. Frontal throughput was evaluated with different salt concentrations (0–1000 mM NaCl) and different linear velocities (6–24 mm s?1). The observed throughput values are in the range of 0.12–0.20 mg min?1 when 0.25 mg mL?1 lysozyme (in 20 mM Tris‐HCl) is loaded onto 78 mg of C‐CP fiber in 0.52 mL volume analytical columns. Increased throughput and yield were found when protein was loaded and eluted at high linear velocity. Results of this study lend credence to the further development of C‐CP fibers for biomacromolecule processing on larger scales. © 2013 American Institute of Chemical Engineers Biotechnol.

This contribution reports on a study using Purexa™-MQ multimodal anion-exchange (AEX) membranes for protein polishing at elevated solution conductivities. Dynamic binding capacities (DBC10) of bovine serum albumin (BSA), human immunoglobulins, and salmon sperm DNA (ss-DNA) are reported for various salt types, salt concentrations, flowrates, and pH. Using 1 mg/ml BSA, DBC10 values for Purexa™-MQ were >90 mg/ml at conductivities up to 15 mS/cm. The membranes maintained a high, salt-tolerant BSA DBC10 of 89.8 ± 2.7 (SD) over the course of 100 bind-elute cycles. Polishing studies with acidic and basic monoclonal antibodies at >2 kg/L loads showed that Purexa™-MQ had higher clearance of host cell proteins and aggregate species at high conductivity (13 mS/cm) and in the presence of phosphate than other commercial AEX media. Purexa™-MQ also had a high ss-DNA DBC10 of 50 mg/ml at conductivities up to 15 mS/cm, markedly outperforming other commercial products. In addition to the effectiveness of Purexa™-MQ for protein polishing at elevated solution conductivities, its unusually high binding capacity for ss-DNA indicates potential applications for plasmid DNA purification. 相似文献

Viral vectors such as adenovirus have successful applications in vaccines and gene therapy but the manufacture of the high-quality virus remains a challenge. It is desirable to use the adsorption-based chromatographic separations that so effectively underpin the therapeutic protein manufacture. However fundamental differences in the size and stability of this class of product mean it is necessary to revisit the design of sorbent's morphology and surface chemistry. In this study, the behaviour of a cellulose nanofiber ion-exchange sorbent derivatised with quaternary amine ligands at defined densities is characterised to address this. This material was selected as it has a large accessible surface area for viral particles and rapid process times. Initially, the impact of surface chemistry on infective product recovery using low (440 µmol/g), medium (750 µmol/g), and high (1029 µmol/g) ligand densities is studied. At higher densities product stability is reduced, this effect increased with prolonged adsorption durations of 24 min with just ~10% loss at low ligand density versus ~50% at high. This could be mitigated by using a high flow rate to reduce the cycle time to ~1 min. Next, the impact of ligand density on the separation's resolution was evaluated. Key to understanding virus quality is the virus particle: infectious virus particle ratio. It was found this parameter could be manipulated using ligand density and elution strategy. Together this provides a basis for viral vector separations that allows for their typically low titres and labile nature by using high liquid velocity to minimise both load and on-column times while separating key product and process-related impurities. 相似文献

Recent advances in cell culture technology have created significant pressure on the downstream purification process, leading to a \"downstream bottleneck\" in the production of recombinant therapeutic proteins for the treatment of cancer, genetic disorders, and cardiovascular disease. Countercurrent tangential chromatography overcomes many of the limitations of conventional column chromatography by having the resin (in the form of a slurry) flow through a series of static mixers and hollow fiber membrane modules. The buffers used in the binding, washing, and elution steps flow countercurrent to the resin, enabling high-resolution separations while reducing the amount of buffer needed for protein purification. The results obtained in this study provide the first experimental demonstration of the feasibility of using countercurrent tangential chromatography for the separation of a model protein mixture containing bovine serum albumin and myoglobin using a commercially available anion exchange resin. Batch uptake/desorption experiments were used in combination with critical flux data for the hollow fiber filters to design the countercurrent tangential chromatography system. A two-stage batch separation yielded the purified target protein at >99% purity with 94% recovery. The results clearly demonstrate the potential of using countercurrent tangential chromatography for the large-scale purification of therapeutic proteins. 相似文献

The surface-initiated polymerization protocol developed in part I was used to prepare strong anion-exchange membranes with variable polymer chain graft densities and degrees of polymerization for DNA and virus particle separations. A focus of part II was to evaluate the role of polymer nanolayer architecture on DNA and virus binding. Salmon sperm-DNA (SS-DNA) was used as model nucleic acid to measure the dynamic-binding capacities at 10% breakthrough. The dynamic-binding capacity increases linearly with increasing poly ([2-(methacryloyloxy)ethyl]trimethylammonium chloride) chain density up to the highest chain density used in this study. The new membranes yielded threefold higher SS-DNA-binding capacity (30 mg/mL) than a leading commercial membrane with the same functional group chemistry. Elution of bound DNA yielded a sharp peak, and resulted in a 13-fold increase relative to the feed concentration. This concentration effect further demonstrates the highly favorable transport properties of the newly designed Q-type membranes. However, unlike findings in part I on protein binding, SS-DNA binding was not fully reversible. Minute virus of mice (MVM) was used as model virus to evaluate the virus clearance performance of newly designed Q-type membranes. Log reduction of virus (LRV) of MVM increased with increasing polymer chain density. Membranes exhibited >4.5 LRV for the given MVM impurity load and may be capable of higher LRV values, as the MVM concentration in the flow-through fraction of these samples was below the limit of detection of the assay. 相似文献

On-line monitoring tools for downstream chromatographic processing (DSP) of biotherapeutics can enable fast actions to correct for disturbances in the upstream, gain process understanding, and eventually lead to process optimization. While UV/Vis spectroscopy is mostly assessing the protein's amino acid composition and the application of Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy is limited due to strong water interactions, Raman spectroscopy is able to assess the secondary and tertiary protein structure without significant water interactions. The aim of this work is to implement the Raman technology in DSP, by designing an in-line flow cell with a reduced dead volume of 80 μL and a reflector to increase the signal intensity as well as developing a chemometric modeling path. In this context, measurement settings were adjusted and spectra were taken from different chromatographic breakthrough curves of IgG1 in harvest. The resulting models show a small average RMSEP of 0.12 mg/mL, on a broad calibration range from 0 to 2.82 mg/mL IgG1. This work highlights the benefits of model assisted Raman spectroscopy in chromatography with complex backgrounds, lays the fundamentals for in-line monitoring of IgG1, and enables advanced control strategies. Moreover, the approach might be extended to further critical quality attributes like aggregates or could be transferred to other process steps. 相似文献
