The isolation and purification method of recombination hepatitis B core antigen
Technical field
The invention belongs to protein separation fields, and in particular to a kind of side of isolating and purifying of recombination hepatitis B core antigen
Method.
Background technology
Hepatitis B (Hepatitis B virus, HBV) is a kind of double-stranded DNA togavirus, it can cause all kinds of urgency slow
Property hepatitis even liver cancer generation.According to World Health Organization, global about 2,000,000,000 people once infect HBV, and there are about 650,000 people every year
Die of hepatic failure caused by HBV infection, hepatic sclerosis and liver cancer (Rehermann et al., Nat Rev Immunol, 2005;
Michel et al.,Vaccine,2002;Jung et al.,Lancet Infect Dis,2002).
Nucleocapsid (nucleocapsid) and external cyst membrane (envelop) two of the HBV virions by center package nucleic acid
Part forms.Nucleocapsid is made of core protein (HBcAg), and core protein shares 183 amino acid, can be divided into according to function
3 structural domains:N-terminal is used to build the package assembly domain (1~140aa) of capsid, for combine the C tails of RNA/DNA (150~
183aa) with a bonding pad (141~149aa) being clipped in therebetween, wherein C tails, can due to being rich in arginine sequence
Nonspecific a large amount of host nucleic acids of combination (Sominskaya et al., Plos one, 2013;Birnbaum et al.,
Jonrnal of Virology,1990).Core protein has been used for hepatitis diagnostics or therapeutic vaccine research and opens
Among hair.
Host cell residual DNA has potential tumorigenesis and infection risk in biological products, so Drug Administration department of various countries
It is very strict to the limitation requirement of DNA impurity, it is always the emphasis of domestic and international Drug Administration mechanism concern.
The detection of exogenous DNA residual volumes evaluates big event as vaccine safety, is subject to during vaccine assay
Pay much attention to.European Union suggests in the purified product in passage cell source that DNA residual quantities limit is 10ng/ person-portions, version in 2010《In
State's pharmacopeia》Regulation Hepatitis B Vaccine Prepared From Yeast Recombinanted, the DNA residual quantities of cytokine class product are that (Qiu is few for 10ng/ agent in (three)
Brightness, Fang Xin, Zhao Ran etc., assessment technique and method, 2014).Core protein is in hepatitis diagnostics or therapeutic vaccine research
Effect be increasingly taken seriously, the HBcAg of overall length or truncated-type is in Escherichia coli, Pichia pastoris, Hansenula yeast and elder brother at present
It is overexpressed in worm cell, but due to its preparation process, obtained HBcAg is difficult to reach medicine in terms of residual substance
Use quality standard.
