Description

Multiplex convection chromatographic system and method for purifying protein by using same
Technical Field
The invention relates to a multiplexing convection chromatography system and a method for purifying protein by using the same, belonging to the technical field of protein purification.
Background
Tangential Flow Filtration (TFF) is a new type of concentration filtration technology, which refers to a filtration mode in which the liquid flow direction is perpendicular to the filtration direction. Compare in traditional dead end filtration (dead end), the shearing force is produced on the filter medium surface to liquid flow among the tangential flow filtration system, has reduced the pile up of filter cake layer or gel layer, has guaranteed stable filtration speed, can effectively improve the treatment effeciency. The separation method uses membranes to separate components in liquid solutions or suspensions based on size, molecular weight, or other differences. The tangential flow filtration technology has the advantages of simple use, rapidness, high efficiency, scale enlargement or reduction, synchronous concentration and washing filtration, economy, time saving and the like. Tangential flow filtration technology can be integrated with a closed circulation flow path to achieve an efficient, sterile and rapid process, and is therefore commonly used for the separation of biologically active substances, the production of biologicals, blood products and vaccines.
Affinity chromatography is a common protein purification technique, in which a medium capable of specifically binding with a bioactive substance (such as an antibody) is used as a stationary phase, so that the corresponding bioactive substance in a liquid phase is selectively bound to the stationary phase, thereby separating from other impurities in the liquid phase and achieving the purpose of separation and purification. Macroporous continuous chromatography (AMC for short) is a novel affinity chromatography technique, the stationary phase of which consists of a single continuous porous material. Common stationary phase materials include agarose (agarose), silica (silica), glycidyl methacrylate/ethylene glycol dimethacrylate (glyddyl methacrylate/ethylene dimethacrylate), and Cryogels, among others. Macroporous continuous chromatography has many advantages, such as can be made into various forms and packed in columns, capillaries and microfluidic devices; the back pressure is low, and the liquid phase can flow through at high speed, so that the aims of quick separation and analysis are fulfilled; the stationary phase can be modified according to the requirement.
Monoclonal antibodies are specific antibodies produced by lymphocytic hybridomas that are directed against only a single epitope on the composite antigen molecule. Monoclonal antibodies have the advantages of high specificity and high homogeneity, and have been rapidly applied to a variety of fields including testing medical diagnostic reagents, radioimmunoassay technology, protein purification, and treatment of diseases such as tumor targeting, autoimmune diseases, infectious diseases, transplant rejection and the like. The conventional monoclonal antibody purification system is an AKTA protein purification system, has the advantage of high automation degree, and can realize integration of automatic sample loading, purification, sample collection and sample analysis. However, this system has the disadvantage that only one column, such as Protein A column, anion/cation exchange column, hydrophobic interaction column, etc., can be connected for each purification. When the components of the monoclonal antibody cell fermentation broth are complex, 3-4 chromatographic columns are needed for purification, and when the AKTA protein purification system is used for purifying the monoclonal antibody, each chromatographic column needs to be replaced by another chromatographic column after the use of the chromatographic column is finished, and the sample conditions such as conductivity, pH and the like need to be adjusted firstly when a new chromatographic column is used each time. Therefore, the existing monoclonal antibody preparation technology is complex, time-consuming and labor-consuming, and the price of the monoclonal antibody is also high.

The filtrate (about 5 liters) is placed in a feeding liquid storage tank 1, enters a tangential flow filtration device 3 (a tangential flow filtration column, TFF) through a peristaltic pump I, the waste filtrate is discharged out of the system through a peristaltic pump III6 waste filtrate storage tank 7, and the sample concentrated by the tangential flow filtration device 3 enters a circulating liquid storage tank 4, is weighed and then enters the TFF column again for concentration. When the volume of the circulating solution is concentrated to about 3 liters, Tris-HCl buffer (pH 7.5) is added to the feed stock tank 1 and enters the TFF column to perform buffer replacement on the concentrated sample. After the circulating liquid is replaced by the buffer solution, the central processor controls the peristaltic pump IV8 at the front end of the macroporous continuous chromatographic device 9 (a single-channel multiplexing convection chromatographic system, and an anion exchange chromatographic column is adopted as the macroporous continuous chromatographic column) to be started, the circulating liquid enters the macroporous continuous chromatographic device 9 (the anion exchange column) to start IgG1 purification, and after all the circulating liquid flows out of the macroporous continuous chromatographic device 9 (the anion exchange column), the AMC system is finished to be off-line after the purification. After purification IgG1 was further concentrated in the TFF system while the IgG1 was subjected to stock replacement by adding PBS buffer (pH 7.2-7.4,10mM) as a monoclonal antibody stock to feed stock tank 1. When the concentration of IgG1 reached 3mg/mL, the TFF system was taken off line, sample processing was terminated, and the final purified samples were collected by collection tubes and stored. The host protein content was determined by GenerDetecting with a kit of (ii) a CHO HCP (human serum albumin) and DNA content with a digital PCR (polymerase chain reaction) instrument QX100TMDroplet DigitalTMPCR System (Bio-Rad) assay.
The experimental results are as follows: the cell fermentation broth before purification had a Host protein (HCP) content of 300,000ppm and a DNA content of 30,000 ppm. After pretreatment of caprylic acid-allantoin-centrifugation-filtration, the HCP content was reduced to below 500 ppm. After purification by a single-channel multiplexing convection chromatography system, the content of HCP is less than 100ppm, and the content of DNA is less than 10 ppm; the purity of the IgG1 is more than 95%, and the recovery rate is higher than 85%. Meets the requirements of the existing Food and Drug Administration (FDA) on the protein product of the monoclonal antibody.
Although the present invention has been described with reference to the preferred embodiments, it should be understood that various changes and modifications can be made therein by those skilled in the art without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention as defined in the appended claims.
