The removal of polymeric proteins from their monomers is a frequently encountered separation task, especially in the polishing step of therapeutic proteins. Continuous separation of protein polymers from monomers by annular chromatography using size exclusion chromatography has been studied regarding the resolution, recovery, fouling, and productivity and has been compared to conventional chromatography. An IgG preparation rich in aggregates was used as a model protein mixture. Under conditions that maximized the throughput, the polymers could be separated from the monomers, but baseline separation could not be achieved. Baseline separation was also not possible in batch mode using equivalent conditions, which was also confirmed by computer simulation. For separation of the aggregates from the product the entire available separation space (360 degrees ) was indispensable. Therefore only cyclic, discontinuous regeneration could be carried out. Loading was identified as a critical step, since the concentrated protein solution evaded into the headspace instead of migrating into the gel where viscous fingering often occurs in conventional chromatography. The productivity of annular chromatography was two times higher than that of the conventional batch chromatography, and the buffer consumption was reduced to half the conventional value. These two benefits are especially important for protein separation processes that suffer from low loadability, such as size exclusion chromatography. We have demonstrated that size exclusion can be performed on an industrial scale when it is run continuously with the aid of a pressurized annular chromatograph. 相似文献

The brown bear (Ursus arctos) in Croatia is currently being managed through trophy hunting, with quotas allocated to local hunting organisations. Human–bear conflict is present at a low level, but any losses are compensated by the hunting organisations that benefit from bear hunting. Attitudes towards bears are generally positive, and the bear population appears stable, or even increasing. Croatia's current bear hunting policy relies upon both the ecological sustainability of the quotas and the economic sustainability of the hunting organisations. To address the first of these pillars of current policy, we used a two-sex matrix model of the bear population to investigate the biological sustainability of current hunting levels. The model suggests that if the annual allocated quota were fully realised, the population would suffer a considerable decrease over 10 years. A likely explanation for the mismatch between this result and the observed stability of the population is that the bear population size is underestimated. To address the second pillar, we quantified the current structure, costs and benefits of bear hunting to hunting organisations through an interview survey with hunting managers. We found that bear hunting is a substantial component of hunting organisations' income, supporting the other activities of the organisation. Croatia's recent accession to the EU will require changes in their bear management system, potentially stopping bear trophy hunting. Therefore, we assessed the changes in hunting organisations' budgets in the absence of bear hunting. Our results demonstrate that a loss of bear trophy hunting would result in a substantial loss of income to the hunting organisations. Moving bear hunting and compensation mechanisms from local management and responsibility to a more centralised system without trophy hunting, as suggested by EU legislation, will lead to considerable uncertainties. These include how to make centralised decisions on population targets and offtake levels for population control, given the uncertainty around population estimates, and on compensation payments given the loss of the current system which relies heavily on local income from trophy hunting, local relationships and informal monetary and non-monetary compensation. 相似文献

Inter-alpha inhibitor proteins (IaIp) are a family of structurally related serine protease inhibitors found in relatively high concentrations in human plasma. Recent studies have implicated a role for IaIp in sepsis, and have demonstrated their potential as biomarkers in sepsis and cancer. For characterization of isolated IaI proteins and contaminating proteins during the last steps of the purification process, SELDI-TOF MS and HPLC-ESI-MS/MS were used. After separation by SDS-PAGE or 2-DE, polypeptide bands of 80, 125 and 250 kDa were excised from gels and digested by trypsin. The tryptic peptides were analyzed by both MS methods. The main contamination during the purification process, a band of 80 kDa, contains mainly IaIp heavy chain (HC) H3. HC H1 and H2 were also found in this band. In addition, some vitamin K-dependent clotting factors and inhibitors and other plasma proteins were identified. The 125-kDa band, representing the pre-alpha inhibitor, was found to contain both bikunin and HC H3. The presence of other HC H1, H2 and the recently described HC H4 was also detected by SELDI-TOF MS. The presence of HC H1, H2, and H3 in the 125-kDa band was confirmed by ESI-MS/MS, but not the presence of the H4. Three polypeptides, H1 and H2 together with bikunin, were identified in the 250-kDa band, representing the ITI, by both MS techniques. Once again, the presence of H4 was detected in this band only by SELDI-TOF MS, but the number of corresponding peptides was still not sufficient for final identification of this polypeptide. The importance of the application of proteomic methods for the proper evaluation of therapeutic drugs based on human plasma is discussed. 相似文献

The separation of annexins, calcium-binding plasma membrane-associated proteins from rat liver and Morris hepatoma 7777 by high-performance membrane chromatography (HPMC) is described. The annexins with low molecular masses, CBP 33 and CBP 35, and the annexin with a high molecular mass, CBP 65/67, can be separated within 10 min from one another by anion-exchange HPMC under non-denaturing conditions. The separation devices used consist of compact, porous disks (QuickDisk) on the one hand and of bundled membranes made of cellulose fibers (MemSep) on the other. Both have been found to be equally well suited for this separation. The annexins obtained in this way are subsequently bound to epoxy-activated porons disks and used for the separation of monospecific polyclonal antibodies against the annexin CBP 65/67. 相似文献

Factor VIII (anti-hemophilia A factor) is isolated from human plasma. Purification is carried out by a combination of precipitation and chromatographic procedures. After precipitation, the first step in virus inactivation is achieved through the effect of a non-ionic detergent such as Tween 80, and a solvent, e.g. tri-n-butylphosphate (TnBP). By subsequent anion-exchange chromatography, a highly enriched product is isolated, consisting of a complex formed by factor VIII and von Willebrand factor (FVIII-vWF). This treatment also removes the virus-inactivating reagents to quantities in the low ppm range. The second step in virus inactivation is aimed specifically at the non-enveloped viruses and consists of pasteurization at temperatures higher than 60°C for 10 h. Through the addition of stabilizers, between 80% and 90% of the initial activity of FVIII is preserved during the modified pasteurisation. Along with the possibly denatured proteins the stabilizers, such as sugars, amino acids and bivalent cations, are subsequently removed by ion-exchange chromatography. The two-fold virus inactivation, by solvent/detergent treatment and subsequent pasteurisation, allows the destruction of both lipid-enveloped and non-enveloped viruses. During the procedure FVIII is stabilized through the high content of vWF. The complex consisting of FVIII and vWF can be dissociated by adding calcium ions. Subsequently both glycoproteins from this complex are separated from one another by further anion-exchange chromatography. 相似文献
