Problems solved by technology

Furthermore, apart from the initial protein A affinity step, no specific sequence was proposed for the systematic removal of all undesirable impurities such as host cell proteins (HCP), condensates, DNA, contaminating virus, and shed protein A
[0046] Therefore, there is still no method that meets the need for sufficient purification to produce Fc fusion proteins of a purity suitable for human administration

Embodiment 1

[0306] Example 1 : capture step: protein A affinity purification

[0307] The starting material is the clarified collection of CHO cell clones expressing TACI-Fc cultured under serum-free conditions, and stored frozen until use.

[0308] In MabSelect Xtra according to the following scheme TM This capture step was performed on a column (GE Healthcare 17-5269-03) with a bed height of 17 cm. All manipulations were performed at room temperature, except that the loading solution was kept below 15 °C. Record the UV signal at 280 nm.

[0309] clean

[0310] The column was cleaned with at least 3BV of 0.1 M acetic acid + 20% ethanol at a counterflow rate of 250 cm / h. Stop flow for 1 hour.

[0311] washing steps

[0312] The column was washed with at least 2BV of RO water at a counterflow rate of 250 cm / h.

[0313] balance

[0314] Equilibrate with at least 5BV of 25mM sodium phosphate + 150mM NaCl solution pH7.0 (unit conductivity and pH parameters are within a specific rang...

Embodiment 2

[0337] Example 2 : Cation Exchange Chromatography

[0338] The eluate from the protein A capture step was dialyzed against the appropriate loading buffer and used as starting material for cation exchange chromatography.

[0339] This step uses Fractogel EMD SO with a bed height of 10cm 3 - Column (Merck 1.16882.0010). Fractogel EMD SO with a bed height of 15 cm can also be used 3 - column. The latter's dynamic capacity and flow rate may require modification, which is within the routine knowledge of those skilled in the art.

[0340] All operations were performed at room temperature and the flow rate was kept constant at 150 cm / h. The 280nm UV signal was recorded for all time periods.

[0341] washing steps

[0342] The column was washed with at least 1 BV of WRO (water for reverse osmosis).

[0343] clean

[0344] Then, clean the column with at least 3BV of 0.5M NaOH + 1.5M NaCl in an upflow fashion.

[0345] rinse

[0346] Rinse the column with at least 4BV of W...

Embodiment 3

[0381] Example 3 : Anion exchange chromatography

[0382] The starting material used in this purification step is Fractogel SO 3 - (See Example 2) The eluate from the cation exchange step is dialyzed or diluted with the appropriate loading buffer.

[0383] This step of anion exchange chromatography was performed on a SOURCE 30Q chromatography column (GE Healthcare 17-1275-01) with a bed height of 10 cm. In this step, a SOURCE 30Q chromatographic column with a column bed height of 15 cm can also be used. The latter dynamic capacity and flow rate may require adaptation, which is within the routine knowledge of those skilled in the art.

[0384] All operations were carried out at room temperature, and the signal of 280nmUV was recorded. This step is performed at a flow rate of 150 or 200 cm / h.

[0385] rinse

[0386] Wash the column with at least 1BV of RO water at a flow rate of 150cm / h.

[0387] clean

[0388] The column was then cleaned with at least 3BV of 0.5M NaOH...

Abstract

The invention relates to a process for the purification of an Fc-fusion protein having a pl between 6.9 and 9.5 comprising protein A or G affinity chromatography, cation exchange chromatography, anion exchange chromatography and hydroxyapatite chromatography.

Description

field of invention [0001] The invention belongs to the field of protein purification. More specifically, the present invention relates to the purification of Fc-fusion proteins by protein A or protein G affinity chromatography, cation exchange chromatography, anion exchange chromatography and hydroxyapatite chromatography. Background of the invention [0002] Proteins are becoming increasingly important commercially as pharmaceuticals commonly referred to as "biologics". One of its greatest challenges is the development of cost-effective and efficient protein purification methods on a commercial scale. Although many methods for large-scale protein purification are available, crude products such as cell culture supernatants contain not only the desired product but also impurities that are difficult to separate from the desired product. If the cells are cultured in a serum-free medium, the cell culture supernatant of cells expressing the recombinant protein product may conta...
