Description

A kind of method of rapid purification of bacterial capsular polysaccharide
Technical field:
The present invention relates to field of biological pharmacy, particularly relate to one and can remove pollutent from ferment product, the method for purified capsular polysaccharide
Background technology:
Streptococcus pneumoniae, b type hemophilus influenzae, epidemic meningitis coccus and Corynebacterium diphtheriae are the important pathogenic bacterias threatening human life.Vaccine development prevents the infection of these germs to be targets that medical circle is struggled for many years.From the sixties in last century, means find that these bacteriums have a common morphological structure feature by experiment, and be exactly that surface of cell membrane is wrapped in one deck pod membrane, this layer of pod membrane is wrapped in each surface of cell membrane by polysaccharide to be formed, therefore claim capsular polysaccharide.In human body, pod membrane plays decisive role for these Pathogenicity of Bacterias, because by preventing antibody to be adsorbed onto on bacterial film, pod membrane can disturb immunocyte to the phagolysis of bacterium, makes bacterium to breed in vivo and to cause a disease.Research finds, bacterial eapsular polysaccharide has good immunogenicity as vaccine, and the adult with sound immunologic function can be stimulated to produce antibody to resist the infection with capsular polysaccharide bacterium; But due to the developing immune system imperfection of less than 2 years old children, do not have immunne response to capsular polysaccharide, and this crowd threatens the most serious crowd by these pathogenic bacterium, exploitation can protect the vaccine of this crowd to be the emphasis problem of medical circle.From the eighties in last century, research finds, when capsular polysaccharide is with covalent linkage and protein bound, after Toxoid,tetanus, diphtheria toxoid or CRM197 (variation diphtheria anatoxine), form polysaccharide-protein combined vaccine, the immune response being directed to capsular polysaccharide can be produced in 2 years old Infants Below body, since then, a kind of synthetic vaccine birth being attached to protein carrier with bacterial eapsular polysaccharide.
At present, commercially have 23 valency pneumococcal polysaccharide vaccines for what prevent grownup streptococcus pneumoniae coccus to infect, and 7 valencys of pre-child-resistant, 10 valencys and 13 valency pneumococcal Polysaccharide Conjugate Vaccines widely use in the world.In addition, typhoid fever (vi) polysaccharide vaccine, b type hemophilus influenzae polysaccharide conjugate vaccine, 4 valency epidemic meningitis polysaccharide conjugate vaccines have also been applied for many years.
Chemically in structure, different bacteriums has different capsular polysaccharides, and same bacterium different serotypes bacterium also has different capsular polysaccharides, as streptococcus pneumoniae has 90 kinds of different serotypes, meningococcus has A, B, C, W135 and Y group, and they all have the capsular polysaccharide of different chemical structures.Research finds, often kind of capsular polysaccharide has strict repeated chemical structure, and this chemical structure can form by a monosaccharide units or containing the oligosaccharide that the most nearly 7-8 monosaccharide residue forms.This repeated unit can be linear or containing non-carbohydrate substituted radical bifurcation structure, and these non-carbohydrate substituted radicals can be O-ethanoyl (O-acetyl), Phosphoric acid glycerol esters (glycerol phosphate) or pyruvic acid (pyruvate); In addition, some capsular polysaccharides of streptococcus pneumoniae may contain uncommon monosaccharide residue, as diamino (diamino-), and deoxidation and point fork chain sugar etc.The diversity of this bacterial polysaccharides structure, brings challenge and difficulty to these polysaccharide methods of purifying.
Preparing vaccine with capsular polysaccharide, comprise polysaccharide vaccine or polysaccharide conjugate vaccine, all needing the capsular polysaccharide with meeting certain mass standard to prepare as raw material.In order to obtain highly purified capsular polysaccharide, fermenting bacteria can be carried out with the liquid medium of being rich in nutrition composition, and then from fermented liquid purified capsular polysaccharide, the principal pollutant will removed in purge process comprise bacterioprotein, nucleic acid and medium component, if when preparing pneumococcal capsular polysaccharide, also need the pollution of control C-polysaccharide.
The foundation of bacterial eapsular polysaccharide purifying process experienced by evolution for many years, in traditional method purified capsular polysaccharide process, pollution of nucleic acid in Polysaccharide removing solution is more difficult to reach purity requirement needed for vaccine preparation, because the chemical property of the capsular polysaccharide of different bacterium is different, often kind of bacterial eapsular polysaccharide needs to remove pollution of nucleic acid with special methods, does not have a kind of method can the capsular polysaccharide of other bacterium of purifying.Some bacterial eapsular polysaccharide needs to be precipitated by a large amount of ethanol, meanwhile, with different organic solvent extractions, as ether etc., helps purifying.Alcohol settling usually can protein pollutant effectively in Polysaccharide removing, and its concentration is reduced to lower level; But, be difficult to be reduced to the level that the vaccine for injection requires, comprise and adopt organic solvents, chloroform and butanols mixed solvent or phenol, mix with polysaccharide soln, jolt 4-6 hour, then, with low-speed centrifugal, the metaprotein be gathered between aqueous phase and organic phase can with the separation of polysaccharides in aqueous phase.But the shortcoming of this method is in extraction process, and polysaccharide can be degraded, and ruptures or loses its luv space conformation, and the polysaccharide be purified has not been effective immunogen.Polytropy due to different bacterium polysaccharide structures limits the validity of these separation methods.Thus, reaching a conclusion is do not have a kind of method can the capsular polysaccharide of purifying different bacterium effectively in early stage traditional method.
However, have and be severally purified into high purity and preserve its immunogenic different bacterium capsular polysaccharide method and invented, particularly when purifying different serotypes pneumococcal capsular polysaccharide, these methods effectively can be purified into and comprise 24 kinds of serotype capsular polysaccharides.Comprise 1,2,3,4,5,6A, 6B, 7F, 8,9N, 9V, 10A, 11A, 12F, 14,15B, 17F, 18C, 19A, 19F, 20,22F, 23F and 33F, and for preparing the capsular polysaccharide raw material of 23 valency pneumococcal polysaccharide vaccines.
1980, the patent US4242501 of American Cyanamid Company company of the U.S. has set forth a kind of purifying pneumococcal capsular polysaccharide method, on this patent basis, the said firm have registered another patent US4686102 in 1987 again subsequently, in order to the Pneumococcal serotype capsular polysaccharide that purifying 23 is different.The basic technology approach of this patent is after streptococcus pneumoniae fermentation, add Sodium desoxycholate (sodiumdeoxycholate) dissolution of bacteria, capsular polysaccharide on thalline is released in fermented liquid, after centrifugal segregation cell debris, with alcohol settling twice, this step can remove a large amount of pollutents comprising protein; Add the polysaccharide soln after cetyl trimethylammonium bromide to alcohol settling, remove pollutent further.By controlling cetyl trimethylammonium bromide concentration, can get off by adsorption precipitation major part serotype polysaccharide precipitation, these precipitate polysaccharides can be dissolved in sodium chloride solution subsequently, those undissolved macromolecule contaminants of centrifugal segregation.But, have four kinds of serotype polysaccharide can not form precipitation with cetyl trimethylammonium bromide, the effect adding cetyl trimethylammonium bromide is deposit fouling thing, these pollutents of centrifugal segregation.Subsequently, then add ethanol to remove cetyl trimethylammonium bromide.After centrifugal segregation precipitation, add the pollutent that charcoal absorption is residual, as albumen and nucleic acid.Finally, purified capsular polysaccharide is obtained by dialysis.From technological process, although the method establishes the purification platforms of a pneumococcal capsular polysaccharide, can be purified into different serotypes polysaccharide by same method, step is numerous and diverse, should not grasp; Wherein further comprises multistep alcohol settling, centrifugal, time-consuming, cost of equipment is high; And unsuitable expanding production.Cetyl trimethylammonium bromide settling step technical sophistication, different serotypes treatment process is different.In addition, the polysaccharide be finally purified only can meet the quality standard of preparation 23 valency pneumonia polysaccharide vaccine, namely albumen and nucleic acid content are lower than 2%-7%, cannot meet existing pneumococcal Polysaccharide Conjugate Vaccine to albumen in polysaccharide raw material and nucleic acid content lower than 1% specification of quality.
To 1998, the patent US5714354 of American Home Products company of the U.S. proposed and a kind ofly carrys out improving one's methods of purifying pneumococcal capsular polysaccharide without alcohol settling.The method is 20 capsular polysaccharides by precipitating with cetyl trimethylammonium bromide in 23 kinds of Pneumococcus serotypes, then use the pollutent in the next further separating polyose of activated carbon filtration, di grey matter salt (Hydroxyapatite) chromatography and anion-exchange chromatography, this purification process step can be purified into most of serotype capsular polysaccharide.And other 3 can not with the purifying of the serotype (serotype 7F, 14 and 33F) of cetyl trimethylammonium bromide precipitation, be adopt modifying method to carry out purifying, comprise anionite-exchange resin chromatography.Compare with last patent purifying process, this purifying process can save 75% purification time, and expense also reduces, and does not need specific installation.The quality of all 23 serotype capsular polysaccharides that the method is purified reaches the quality index of polysaccharide vaccine.
Coexist 1998, the patent US5847112 of Merck company of the U.S. also issues a kind of method of purifying pneumonia capsular polysaccharide.Basic skills is for carrying out separating polyose from fermentation broken bacterium liquid in two steps with ethanol; The first step comes precipitate cell debris and pollutent with the ethanol of low per-cent, as C-polysaccharide, retains polysaccharide in solution; Next, other pollutent stayed in the solution, to precipitate capsular polysaccharide, abandons by the ethanol adding high density.After being dissolved by precipitate polysaccharides, then use ordinary method, such as nucleic acid and protease digestion, or organic solvent, remove albumen and the nucleic acid of pollution further, rough polysaccharide is obtained by alcohol settling and freeze-drying.Subsequently, refining full polysaccharide or partially-hydrolyzed polysaccharide is obtained by anion-exchange chromatography purifying.Although higher purity rubric can be reached with the polysaccharide that above two kinds of methods are purified, step is still numerous and diverse, and process regulation requires high.The particularly precipitate and separate step length consuming time of multi-step.
The patent US20060228381 of Wyeth company of the U.S. proposes a kind of method of more succinct purifying pneumococcal capsular polysaccharide.Basic Ways is with after beans substratum fermentation streptococcus pneumoniae, add Sodium desoxycholate to dissolve thalline, then add below acid-conditioning solution pH to 5.5 and come bulk deoxidation Sodium cholic acid and most of soluble proteins, by the cell debris in centrifuging and ultrafiltration removal solution and throw out.Thus obtained rough polysaccharide still needs traditional method to be further purified, and comprise the impurity remained with activated carbon filtration, hydroxyapatite column absorption, and ultrafiltration filter wash obtains refined polysaccharide.The feature of such purification process is to break this step of bacterium secondary fermentation liquid by most pollutent by acidifying, as albumen, nucleic acid, intracellular toxin etc., is separated, simplifies subsequent technique, shorten purification time with the capsular polysaccharide in solution.But, due to be use carry out purifying with Sodium desoxycholate lysate, the C-glycocalix contained in the cell walls of some serotype discharges, because C-polysaccharide is similar with the chemical property of capsular polysaccharide, not easily be removed in purification process subsequently, cause C-polysaccharide content in purified polysaccharide too high.
The present invention, by summarizing the purification process of existing bacterial eapsular polysaccharide, proposes one purification process more fast, and all standard of the purified capsular polysaccharide obtained all reaches existing WHO quality standard.

Step 6, adopts prior art to carry out subsequent purification to bacterial eapsular polysaccharide.
The principle of design of method of the purification of bacterial capsular polysaccharide that the present invention proposes and the control of test conditions as follows:
(1), the control of bacterial fermentation processes
Be purified into highly purified capsular polysaccharide, the link to each in polysaccharide production process may pollute is needed to be controlled, decreasing pollution thing of particularly should trying one's best on fermenting step enters into the fermented liquid for purified polysaccharide, wherein, the foreign-matter contamination discharged due to bacterial cell disruption, as albumen and nucleic acid, and the impurity contained in substratum, comprise albumen, nucleic acid and impurity polysaccharide etc. are the main sources of pollutent.For streptococcus pneumoniae, this bacterium is gram-positive microorganism, can tolerate oxygen, and its form has multifarious feature, can transform between smooth (Transparent) and coarse (Opaque) colonial morphology.When being in smooth bacterium state, bacterium surface only has a small amount of capsular polysaccharide, is the form that human body nasal cavity endophyte falls to existing; And the bacterium surface being in rough bacteria state contains a large amount of capsular polysaccharides, be the form that the streptococcus pneumoniae in blood of human body exists, the existence of capsular polysaccharide can stop host immune cell phagolysis, makes bacterium can survive and breed.
Experiment shows in liquid medium within, and the part capsular polysaccharide of Pneumococcal Surface parcel can be shed in fermented liquid, can be used for purified capsular polysaccharide.Obviously, obtain capsular polysaccharide from phage surface, must obtain after bacterial cell disruption, this just makes the pollutent such as impurity protein, nucleic acid in bacterial body all be released in fermented liquid, thus adds the difficulty of purified polysaccharide.In order to avoid this problem, simultaneously, according to pneumococcal cultural characters, first the present invention adopts strict anaerobic fermentation, make streptococcus pneumoniae in fermented liquid based on rough bacteria state, with this understanding, streptococcus pneumoniae can produce a large amount of capsular polysaccharides, and part capsular polysaccharide can be released into nutrient solution from bacterium surface.Controlling the pH value (7.0-7.6) in neutral range of fermented liquid, polysaccharide can stably exist in solution and not degrade.On the other hand, because streptococcus pneumoniae contains N,O-Diacetylmuramidase, when after bacterial death, this enzyme self-dissolving can be discharged, therefore, fermentation to be stopped in time at fermentation using bacteria to growth platform after date, gather in the crops, to reduce bacterial death, discharge entocyte, the situation polluting fermented liquid occurs.
The pneumovax used in the market, comprise 23 valency pneumonia polysaccharide vaccines and 13 valency pneumococcal Polysaccharide Conjugate Vaccines, and b type hemophilus influenzae polysaccharide conjugate vaccine, producing capsular polysaccharide raw material used is all dissolve thalline by adding in tensio-active agent to fermented liquid, purifying is carried out with the capsular polysaccharide discharged on bacteria cell wall, in fact the source of final capsular polysaccharide has two approach, namely drops to from bacterium surface the polysaccharide discharged by cell walls after polysaccharide fermented liquid and bacteriolyze during the fermentation.Although when carrying out purified capsular polysaccharide in this way, starting polysaccharide total amount will more than only from the initial amount of purified capsular polysaccharide the fermented liquid supernatant liquid removing thalline; But, impurity component content in bacteriolyze fermented liquid in starting soln will far above fermented liquid supernatant liquid, this adds burden to subsequent purification operation, need more step to carry out purifying, therefore, polysaccharide on the one hand in solution can lose increase in too much purification step, its yield with from fermented supernatant fluid, carry out purifying compare, do not preponderate; On the other hand, add after tensio-active agent carrys out bacteriolyze, although more polysaccharide can be discharged, be present in the impurity polysaccharide component of cell walls, such as C-polysaccharide is also released.And the chemical property of C-polysaccharide is similar with capsular polysaccharide, in follow-up purge process, remove very difficult.In product on existing market, C-polysaccharide pollutes is distinct issues, because C-polysaccharide is in testing process, be easily counted into capsular polysaccharide, but C-polysaccharide does not have immunogenicity, body can not be stimulated to produce protection antibody and carry out sterilization.Consequently be mixed in preparation and cause the immune effect of polysaccharide vaccine to be affected.
(2), the control of fermented liquid acidization
After obtaining the fermented liquid containing capsular polysaccharide, by itself and pollutent, comprise thalline, albumen and nucleic acid, the step carrying out being separated is numerous and diverse, common method has centrifugal segregation macrobead thalline, subsequently by filtering, remove short grained cell debris to obtain the Clarified fermentation supernatant liquor containing capsular polysaccharide.In the purge process in downstream, adopt such as alcohol settling, nucleic acid and protease digestion, organic solvent and phenol extraction and ultrafiltration cleaning step to be further purified, finally obtain purified polysaccharide.
Present invention employs and the fermented liquid containing thalline is directly carried out acidifying, precipitate thalline once, albumen and nucleic acid impurities, this method will reduce traditional multi-step minimizing technology widely.Different according to raw bacteriogenic kind, or the difference of serotype, when by the pH regulator of solution to 3.0-5.0 scope time, the thalline of 90%-98% in fermented liquid can be precipitated, albumen and nucleic acid.Souring soln acid used can be phosphoric acid, acetic acid, hydrochloric acid, sulfuric acid, the mixed solution of the different concns of nitric acid or these acid solutions.Acidificatoin time is 10 minutes-24 hours, needs to decide according to different bacteriums or serotype.During acidifying, broth temperature can be 4-37 DEG C.By the control to above condition, the principal pollutant such as the thalline in fermented liquid, albumen and nucleic acid can form precipitation fast, and capsular polysaccharide stably can exist in solution and reaches the object of separating impurity.
(3), the control of centrifugal and/or microfiltration process
By ordinary method, as centrifugal and/or micro-filtration remove precipitation, in purification platforms program of the present invention, first carry out the ferment product after centrifugal acidifying with online whizzer, to remove oarse-grained precipitation, comprise throw out and thalline.Centrifuging temperature is 4-25 DEG C.Centrifugation time was at 30 minutes-120 minutes.Subsequently, remove cell debris in solution and small-particle insolubles further by micro-filtration, the molecular weight ranges of microfiltration membrane is at 0.22 to 1 μm.Collect the clarification filter solution containing capsular polysaccharide, abandon micro-filtration phegma.
(4), the control of ultrafiltration and concentration and filter wash process
In purification technique platform program of the present invention, ultrafiltration and concentration is carried out to micro-filtrate and the ultra-filtration membrane molecular weight that cleaning adopts can be any one in 5,10,30,50,100 or 500Kd, need to decide according to bacterial species or particular serotype.Concentrated final solution volume range is 2-10 times of original solution, determines according to bacterial species or serotype difference.Adopt any one in pure water, damping fluid, salts solution or acidifying salt soln during ultrafiltration filter wash concentrated solution processing step, need the stability of more different serotypes polysaccharide to decide.By above purification process, the foreign matter content in solution progressively reduces, following table be streptococcus pneumoniae part serotype capsular polysaccharide solution through purifying rear impurity concentration determination result:
From upper table, according to the difference of Pneumococcus serotypes, by purification process of the present invention, can 90-98% albumen in Polysaccharide removing solution, and the effect that nucleic acid is removed is more obvious, can reach 97-99%.
To it should be noted that, purified capsular polysaccharide technique of the present invention, can use with other purification process.In general, available purification process of the present invention removes most of impurity after carrying out preliminary purification to the polysaccharide in fermented liquid, then in the purifying process in downstream, other finished purification method can be adopted, such as activated carbon filtration, phosphorus hydroxyl grey matter rock adsorbs, chromatography, alcohol settling, and the methods combining such as phenol extraction is further purified, removes residual albumen or contaminant nucleic acid, and obtain refined polysaccharide.
Need further it is emphasised that, purification process of the present invention is key one step of rapid purification of bacterial capsular polysaccharide.A part for other purifying capsular polysaccharide technique can be applied to, by conjunction with other polysaccharide purification method, albumen and nucleic acid content can be down to less than 1.0%.
Above to invention has been summary, in order to further describe and understand, following object lesson can be read.The object describing these examples is only used to that the present invention will be described, instead of limits the invention within the scope of these examples.
