Definitions
- the invention relates to the production of compositions containing IgA for use as a food additive. More specifically, it relates to a process to prepare an IgA-enriched milk product extract composition and to such compositions.
- Immunoglobulin A is the dominant immunoglobulin in human secretions, including breast milk and provides the body with protection against pathogens, binding to disease-causing viruses, bacteria, fungi and their toxins. IgA provides infants essential protection against the aforementioned pathogens. IgA antibodies are effective when taken orally because they are resistant to degradation by enzymes in the gut, thus making them ideal as nutraceuticals or food supplements. IgA may be combined with probiotics to inhibit or reduce adverse effects due to pathogens. Applications include use of IgA as a nutraceutical ingredient to target pathogens which cause infections of human mucosal surfaces such as in the nose, eyes, ears, lungs, breast and vagina.
- IgA-containing products are suitable for gut and oral health applications. Due to the low levels of IgA normally present in cows' milk, the established method to increase the yield of IgA on a commercial scale is by immunisation regimes to boost the levels in the milk. Typically, cow's milk contains IgA and IgG in a ratio of approximately 1 :8.
- compositions containing IgA for food consumption are currently produced globally, using essentially the same process and in virtually the same manner.
- the most common production methodology is referred to as a hyperimmunisation process whereby generally a number of cows are administered an immunogenic substance such as a virus to produce a hyperimmune response.
- milk produced by the immunised cows contains increased amounts of IgA, otherwise known as "hyperimmune milk”.
- the hyperimmune milk is then concentrated using standard membrane technology to produce a milk product extract containing around 5% w/w IgA, which can be used as a food supplement such as for infant milk formula.
- IgA has an acidic isoelectric point, or pi, in the range of approximately 4.5-
- the process of the present invention surprisingly allows for the fractionation of IgA from milk products such as skim milk by cation exchange chromatography by modifying the loading and elution conditions. Such a process has not previously been achieved on a commercial scale.
- the process of the present invention may be included as part of an existing process for purification of other components of milk products, such as lactoferrin, lactoperoxidase or growth factors.
- An example of such a process is one where milk product is contacted with the cation exchange resin and an IgA- enriched fraction is eluted first, followed by an IgA-depleted lactoperoxidase fraction and then a lactoferrin fraction by sequential elution with mobile phases of increasing ionic strength.
- the invention relates to a process to prepare an IgA-enriched milk product extract composition that obviates the need for hyperimmunisation of cows and thus the time and costs involved therewith.
- IgA-enriched milk product extract composition and process therefor, which process can be used on a commercial scale, which overcomes at least some of the disadvantages of the prior art.
- 'IgA-enriched' means the ratio of IgAiIgG in the eluted milk product extract is increased relative to the ratio of lgA:lgG in the milk product before fractionation.
- an IgA-enriched milk product extract composition including IgA and IgG extracted from a milk product, wherein the relative IgA to IgG content is increased compared to that in the milk product, which process includes: providing: a source of milk product; a cation exchange resin; and a mobile phase; contacting the milk product with the cation exchange resin such that IgA is preferentially adsorbed thereon compared with IgG; eluting the cation exchange resin with the mobile phase; and collecting the eluted IgA-enriched fraction.
- the milk product is not necessarily limited to whole cows' milk but other milk products can be used as a starting point in the production of an IgA-enriched milk product extract composition.
- the milk product is selected from the group consisting of whole milk, skim milk, whey, and colostrum.
- the particular conditions under which the IgA-enriched milk product extract composition is produced can be varied and still result in an IgA-enriched fraction.
- a mobile phase containing 0.05-0.4M NaCI (0.29-2.34 % w/v) or equivalent ionic strength preferably 0.08-0.35M NaCI (0.47-2.05 % w/v)
- 0.17M NaCI (1 % w/v
- equivalent ionic strength may be used in the alternative.
- the mobile phase has a pH in the range of 4.5-9, preferably 5.5-7.5, most preferably a pH of about 6.5.
- the flow rate at which the milk product is adsorbed to the cation exchange column during the contact step may be in the range of 6-90 litres per litre of resin per hour (h) (linear flow 60-900 cm per h).
- the flow rates used are in the range of 6-70 litres per litre of resin per hour (linear flow 60-700 cm per h), more preferably 6-40 litres per litre of resin per hour (linear flow 60-400 cm per h). With these flow rates it has been found that for optimum fractionation of IgA the amount of milk product in contact with the cation exchange resin is in the range of about 16-300 column (bed) volumes, preferably 16-200 column volumes, more preferably 16-40 column volumes.
- the cation exchange resin is rinsed with a buffer of low ionic strength, ( ⁇ 0.008 M salt or its equivalent) or water, to remove milk product remaining in the column.
- a buffer of low ionic strength ⁇ 0.008 M salt or its equivalent
- various types of cation exchange resins may be employed in the present invention, of which Sepharose cation exchange resin beads, such as SP Sepharose Big Beads, are preferred. Further preferred are resin beads in the size range 45-300 ⁇ m.
- the cationic exchange resin comprises Sepharose beads, preferably in the size range 45-300 ⁇ m.
- the process of the invention may be employed as a continuous process or as a batch process, with continuous processing being preferred.
- the eluted IgA- enriched fraction may be subsequently treated to reduce the salt content therein.
- Skim milk contains about 1-2.5% IgG w/w and 0.05-0.1 % IgA w/w and bovine serum contains 20% IgG w/w and 0.4% IgA w/w.
- the inventors have found that with the process of the present invention the milk product extract concentrate (eluate) obtained surprisingly contains lower levels of IgG w/w than expected, with ratios of lgA:lgG typically in the order of 1 :2 which equates to an eight- to sixteen-fold concentration of IgA.
- IgA and IgG were quantitation of IgA and IgG using an ELISA (enzyme linked immunosorbent assay) kit. This increase in IgAiIgG ratio has significant implications for those wanting to provide increased levels of IgA in food substances or as neutraceuticals.
- the presence of IgA and the relative amounts (ratio) of IgA and IgG in cation exchange chromatography eluates was not previously known.
- a further aspect of the invention provides for a process in which the resulting IgA-enriched milk product extract composition comprises an IgAiIgG ratio of at least 1 :8, preferably 1 :4, and more preferably at least 1 :2.
- the IgA enriched milk product extract composition may be further treated to reduce the amount of non-lgA proteins present. This may be achieved by membrane filtration, column chromatography, dialysis or other known means.
- Removal of such extraneous proteins may be considered important for the production of standardised food substances or nutraceuticals.
- an IgA-enriched milk product extract composition in which the lgA:lgG ratio is at least 1 :8, preferably 1 :4, and more preferably at least 1 :2.
- an IgA- enriched milk product extract composition obtained by the process of the invention.
- the milk product extract of the invention may be used as a food substance or nutraceutical, preferably as an infant food substance or nutraceutical.
- immunoglobulins are considered to belong to a class of proteins with an acidic isoelectric point and therefore unlikely to be retained on a cation exchange resin, or in a manner in which IgA is preferentially bound compared to IgG.

- Figs 3A-3E Effect of milk product volume contacted with cation exchange resin.
- Figs 4A-4C Effect of skim milk product volume contacted with cation exchange resin.
- Figs 5A-5D Effect of mobile phase pH on the composition of IgA eluted.
- Figs 7A-7E A process to isolate IgA-enriched fraction, lactoferrin and lactoperoxidase; effect of mobile phase ionic strength on IgA in various fractions.
- Suitable sources of IgA may include milk products such as whole milk, skim milk, whey or colostrum from a mammal such as man, cow, sheep, goat, sow or the like.
- the pH of the milk product is preferably about 6.5 although it is not necessary to adjust the pH of the milk product for the present invention.
- the flow rates used to contact the milk product with the cation exchange resin can be varied over a wide range, such as from 6-90 litres per litre resin per hour (linear flow 60-900 cm per h), preferably, 6-70 litres per litre resin per hour (linear flow 60-700 cm per h), more preferably about 6-40 litres per litre resin per hour (linear flow 60-400 cm per h).
- the lower limit is determined by cost- effectiveness for an industrial process, whereby at very low flow rates the cost to run the process exceeds the return. High flow rates are suitable for IgA purification provided the total amount of milk product contacted with the resin is limited.
- milk product volumes greatly exceeding the resin volume are suitable for purification of other milk products such as lactoperoxidase and lactoferrin, as described in Australian Patent no. 613688
- the present inventors have found that a milk product volume to resin volume in the order of 1000 column volumes (litres milk product per litre resin) is unsuitable for IgA purification by the process of the invention.
- the inventors have found that milk product volume to resin volume in excess of about 400 column volumes result in little IgA binding to the resin and the IgA recovered will not be enriched relative to IgG in the starting material.
- the preferred upper limit according to the invention in the case of skim milk, is about 300 column volumes, preferably about 200 column volumes, most preferably about 34 column volumes.
- the lower limit is set by commercial concerns rather than column-related factors. If the volume of milk product loaded declines much below 16 column volumes, a point is reached where the rinse and elution times exceed the point where sufficient IgA can be purified to make the process economically viable.
- the unbound milk product within the cation exchange column may be removed by rinsing the column with water or a buffer having an ionic strength of less than, for example, 0.0086M sodium chloride.
- a mobile phase consisting of a buffer solution having a low ionic strength of 0.086 -0.4M sodium chloride, potassium chloride, or equivalent is used.
- the type of salt used in the mobile phase is not limited.
- the ionic strength increases above 0.4, the purity of the IgA decreases as non-lgA proteins begin to elute, thus diluting the IgA with other proteins.
- an ionic strength equivalent to 0.35M sodium chloride or less is used.
- the mobile phase may have a pH within a broad range, such as 4.5-9.0, preferably 5.5-7.5, most preferably about 6.5. At the upper and lower limits both protein stability and the ability of proteins to bind to the cation exchange resin become influenced. A pH in the range 5.5-7.5 provides the highest IgA purity without lowering yields.
- the type of cation exchange resin suitable for adsorption of IgA may include resins such as Sepharose cation exchange resin beads.
- resins such as Sepharose cation exchange resin beads.
- SP Sepharose Big Beads and CM Sepharose beads products of GE Healthcare which contain sulfopropyl functional groups and carboxymethyl groups, respectively, are suitable.
- the size of the cation exchange resin beads is preferably in the range from 45-300 ⁇ m. Both SP Sepharose beads in the range 45-165 ⁇ m and in the range 100-300 ⁇ m are suitable for IgA adsorption and purification according to the invention.
- One of the further treatments to which the IgA-enriched milk product extract composition can be subjected is desalting by, for example, dialysis or ultrafiltration.
- Another treatment to which the IgA-enriched milk product extract composition can be subjected is the removal, of non-lgA proteins. The removal of non-lgA proteins may be achieved by further chromatography by,
- the IgA-enriched milk product extract composition of the invention may be used as a food substance or nutraceutical, preferably as in infant food substance or nutraceutical.
- the process of the invention may be performed in isolation to prepare an IgA-enriched milk product extract composition, or may be incorporated as part of an integrated fractionation process in which other desired milk product extracts are fractionated. Process for producing IgA-enriched fraction & IgA-depleted fraction
- a preferred method of the invention is to pack a 10 cm deep column of SP (sulfopropyl) sepharose of greater than 45 ⁇ M (ideally 90-300 ⁇ M).
- SP sulfopropyl
- a flow of a dairy product ideally skimmed milk
- the milk remaining in the column is removed with 2.5 CV of a buffer of low ionic strength ( ⁇ 0.05% (0.0086M) NaCI or equivalent), or water at 3.5 ml/min (linear flow 147 cm/h or 0.25 CV/min) for 10 min.
- the IgA-enriched fraction is eluted from the column with 3.5 CV of a buffer containing sodium ions equivalent to 1% (0.171 M) NaCI, pH 6.5, by flowing the cation solution at 3.5 ml/min (linear flow 102 cm/h or 0.175 CV/min) for 20 min.
- the first 3 min (0.5 CV) will be discarded to drain and the next 20 min (3.5 CV) collected as the IgA-enriched fraction (including 3 min [0.5 CV] overlapping the application time of the next buffer ie breakthrough time).
- the remaining protein (IgA-depleted fraction) is eluted from the column with 3.5 CV of a buffer containing sodium ions equivalent to 8.75% (1.5M) NaCI by flowing the cation solution at 3.5 ml/min (linear flow 102 cm/h or 0.175 CV/min) for 20 min.
- the first 3 min (0.5 CV) will be discarded to drain and the next 20 min (3.5 CV) collected as the IgA-depleted fraction (including 3 min [0.5 CV] overlapping the application time of the next buffer ie breakthrough time).
- the protein fractions recovered are diafiltered through an ultrafiltration membrane or equivalent to remove salt. It would be clear to a person skilled in the art that this IgA fractionation method can be scaled up for commercial use.
- a further preferred method of the invention is to pack a 10 cm deep column of SP (sulphopropyl) sepharose of greater than 45 ⁇ M (ideally 90-300 ⁇ M).

- the first 3 min (0.5 CV) will be discarded to drain and the next 20 min (3.5 CV) collected as the IgA-enriched fraction (including 3 min [0.5 CV] overlapping the application time of the next buffer ie breakthrough time).
- the IgA-depleted lactoperoxidase fraction is eluted from the column with 3.5 CV of a buffer containing sodium ions equivalent to 2.5% w/v (0.43 M) NaCI (though other cations would be suitable) by flowing the cation solution at 3.5 ml/min (linear flow 102 cm/h or 0.175 CV/min) for 20 min.
- the first 3 min (0.5 CV) will be discarded to drain and the next 20 min (3.5 CV) collected as the IgA-depleted lactoperoxidase fraction (including 3 min [0.5 CV] overlapping the application time of the next buffer ie breakthrough time).

- Elution with 1.125% w/v NaCI increased the amount of IgA in the IgA- enriched fraction and greatly reduced the amount of IgA present in the subsequent fractions (lactoperoxidase and lactoferrin), (Fig. 7A.7B) relative to 1% w/v NaCI.
- the amount of IgG in the IgA-enriched fraction was reduced by 50% by elution with 1.125% w/v NaCI (Fig. 7C).
- the lgA:lgG ratio was also greatly increased by elution at the higher NaCI concentration (Fig. 7D).
- IgA (% protein) p IgA-en ⁇ ched fraction 0 172M NaCI ⁇ IgA-enriched fraction 0 193M NaCI
