Definitions

  • the present invention relates to the production of Interferon alpha 2b ( IFN a2b ) by a process of fed-batch fermentation followed by purification using chromatography techniques.
  • the process is simple, scalable and yields IFN a2b of pharmacopoeial grade.
  • Interferons are cytokines that are naturally secreted by various cell types in the human body and various other species. Three major types of interferons have been identified. Type I includes interferon alpha, beta, epsilon, kappa and omega. Type II includes interferon gamma ( IFN- ⁇ ). Type III includes interferon lambda ( Outzen, M. et al ). Multiple subtypes of interferon alpha and betas exist, (Bekisz et al ) which in turn have allelic forms e.g. Interferon alpha subtype 2 has at least 3 allelic forms; IFN alpha 2a, IFN alpha 2b, IFN alpha 2c,
  • Interferons play a central role in the normal immunological response and exhibit a wide breadth of biological activities, some of which include antiviral, antiproliferative and immunomodulatory. These actions make interferon a most promising agent for the treatment of various diseases.
  • IFN alphas are approved for the treatment of cancers like hairy cell leukemia, malignant melanoma, follicular lymphoma, genital warts, AIDS- related Kaposi sarcoma and viral diseases like chronic hepatitis B and C.
  • E. coli interferons expressed in E.coli are widely used (Baron, E. et al, 1990 ).
  • Use of E. coli as an expression host is beneficial due to its rapid growth for achieving higher cell mass and also the ease of introducing recombinant vectors in the cells.
  • a major drawback with the use of E. coli expression systems is the aggregation of the protein of interest into insoluble inactive forms.
  • the protein which is expressed at a high rate in the cell does not remain in the active soluble form but forms aggregates of denatured protein. Recovery of the insoluble aggregates and their refolding into soluble active forms is in most cases inefficient and leads to compromising yields.
  • Obermeier (US4845032 ) describes a process for the purification of IFN alpha from crude IFN preparation by solubilization in a chaotropic agent followed by refolding. The renatured protein is then purified by hydrophobic interaction chromatography.
  • the present inventors also carried out a process wherein IFN a2b was expressed as insoluble inclusion bodies by recombinant E. coli BL21 DE3 Gold strains.
