Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to a method for purifying a target protein with an Fc structure and application thereof, belonging to the field of biotechnology. Background Art
[0002] Monoclonal antibodies are highly uniform antibodies produced by a single B cell clone that target only a specific antigen epitope. At present, monoclonal antibodies are usually produced by cell culture processes. The cell culture process requires the construction of an antibody expression sequence by genetic engineering, and then the antibody expression sequence is recombined into an expression vector. The recombinant expression vector is then transfected into a host cell, and finally the transfected host cells are cultured in vitro to achieve the expression of the recombinant monoclonal antibody. After the host cells are cultured in vitro to obtain a feed solution containing monoclonal antibodies, the monoclonal antibodies need to be purified from the feed solution for subsequent use.
[0003] With the continuous improvement of cell culture technology, the output of antibodies has been continuously improved. The technical bottleneck and production cost of large-scale antibody production have gradually shifted from antibody expression to antibody purification. Therefore, improving the flux and efficiency of antibody purification technology and reducing the cost of antibody purification technology have become the top priority of antibody production process research. At present, the traditional three-step chromatography method (affinity chromatography + anion column chromatography + cation column chromatography) or two-step chromatography method (affinity chromatography + anion column chromatography / cation column chromatography) is mainly used to purify monoclonal antibodies. Among them, the traditional three-step chromatography method can provide good impurity removal and aggregate removal (anion chromatography is mainly used for impurity removal, and cation chromatography is mainly used for aggregate control), but it requires two sets of chromatography equipment and a matching anion / cation buffer system, the steps are cumbersome and time-consuming, and the purification cost is high; and the traditional two-step chromatography method simplifies the equipment and steps and reduces the purification cost, but it cannot take into account the removal of impurities and aggregates at the same time, and there is a defect of a long purification cycle. Therefore, there is an urgent need to find a protein purification method that can take into account both the removal of impurities and the removal of aggregates, and is fast (short purification cycle) and efficient (good quality and high yield) to achieve the purification of monoclonal antibodies.

[0158] Experimental Example 1: Performance Verification of Purification Method
[0159] This experimental example verifies the performance of the purification method in Example 1 and the comparative example, and the specific process is as follows:
[0160] The fermentation liquid of the anti-VEGF monoclonal antibody (purchased from Dongyao Pharmaceutical, obtained by shaking flask culture and fed batch culture of CHO cells containing VEGF antibody bevacizumab) was used as a sample, and the purification methods in Example 1 and Comparative Example 1 were used for purification, and the purified products were detected with reference to the methods recorded in the pharmacopoeia (aggregate detection was detected by HPLC-SEC method, HCP host residue detection was detected by Elisa method, and the Elisa method was performed using the F550-1 kit purchased from Cygnus Company). The test results are shown in Table 1;
[0161] Among them, the purification method of comparative example 1 uses an AKTA chromatography system, and in the purification method of comparative example 1, the chromatography column of the affinity chromatography system uses Cityva-MabSelect SuRe LX filler, the chromatography column of the anion chromatography system uses Cityva-QFF filler, and the chromatography column of the cationic chromatography system uses Merck-Fractogel EMD COO filler;
[0162] The purification method of Example 1 uses an AKTA chromatography system, and in the purification method of Example 1, the chromatography column of the affinity chromatography system uses Cityva-MabSelect SuRe LX filler, the cationic membrane chromatography system is loaded with Sartorius-Sartobind S cationic chromatography membrane, and the sample loading pipeline is connected to a Sartorius-Sartobind Q anionic chromatography membrane (during purification, in the loading step of the antibody purification process, the pH of the loaded sample is 5.5, and the conductivity is 1.526 mS / cm, which meets the loading requirements).
[0163] From the purification process, it can be seen that in the antibody purification step of Comparative Example 1, the anion chromatography takes 4.8 hours, the cation chromatography takes 4 hours, and the antibody purification step of Example 1 takes a total of 40 minutes. The process time required for the purification method of Example 1 is greatly reduced. As can be seen from Table 1, under the premise that the product quality meets the standard, the conventional process of Comparative Example 1 requires two-step chromatography, the buffer solution during the anion column chromatography is 6.2, and the buffer solution after the cationic membrane is 5.3. Due to the different pH of the buffer solution, the cationic chromatography cannot be directly performed after the anion column chromatography is completed, and both the anion column chromatography and the cationic column chromatography require a complete set of chromatography systems, which is inefficient and will cause feed liquid loss. There is no way to proceed in one step, and the time consumption is 13.2 times that of the improved process; while the improved process of Example 1 only requires a one-step chromatography process, does not require the replacement of the buffer solution, and only requires a set of chromatography system connection, that is, the anion chromatography membrane is connected to the sample loading pipeline through the chromatography column connector, and the cationic chromatography membrane is connected to the column position of the chromatography system, and the SEC of the cationic collection liquid is 98.8%, the HCP is 91ppm, and the yield is 89.3%, which meets the standard. In addition, the loading capacity of the anion membrane of Example 1 reaches 301.2g / L, which is nearly 8 times that of Comparative Example 1, and the purification flux and efficiency are significantly improved. In summary, compared with the traditional process of Comparative Example 1, the improved process of Example 1 requires a simpler solution and does not require sample adjustment due to changes in the chromatography steps, thereby reducing the risks caused by sample adjustment.

[0165]
[0166] The experimental results need to meet the following standards: quality standard: SEC ≥ 95%, HCP < 100ppm; process standard: Yield ≥ 85%.

[0187] Balance: flush with 50mM NaAc-HAc buffer at pH 5.5 until the pH and conductivity of the effluent are consistent with those of the solution, with a retention time of 0.1min;
[0188] Loading: Use deep collection solution for loading (sample pH 5.5, conductivity <5mS / cm), retention time 0.2min; when loading, the loading capacity of the cation chromatography membrane is 35g / mL, and the loading capacity of the anion membrane is 550g / L;
[0189] Balance: flush with 50 mM NaAc-HAc buffer at pH 5.5 until the pH and conductivity of the effluent are consistent with those of the solution, with a retention time of 0.2 min;

[0191] Experimental Example 2: Effect of loading capacity on purification effect
[0192] This experimental example explores the effect of loading capacity on purification effect. The specific process is as follows:
[0193] The fermentation liquid of anti-VEGF monoclonal antibody (purchased from Dongyao Pharmaceutical, obtained by shaking flask culture and fed batch culture of CHO cells containing VEGF antibody bevacizumab) was used as a sample, and the purification method in Example 2 was used for purification, and the purified product was detected with reference to the method described in the pharmacopoeia (aggregate detection was detected by HPLC-SEC method, HCP host residue detection was detected by Elisa method, and Elisa method was performed using F550-1 kit purchased from Cygnus Company). The test results are shown in Tables 2 and Figure 3 to Figure 6; The loading capacity for each purification was set as follows:
[0194] Experiment 1: Cationic membrane loading 40.3 g / L, anionic membrane loading 1006.4 g / L;
[0195] Experiment 2: Cationic membrane loading 35.3 g / L, anionic membrane loading 1006.4 g / L;
[0196] Experiment 3: Cationic membrane loading 28.6 g / L, anionic membrane loading 301.2 g / L;
[0197] Experiment 4: Cationic membrane loading 20.2 g / L, anionic membrane loading 1006.4 g / L;
[0198] Experiment 5: Cationic membrane loading 15.1 g / L, anionic membrane loading 100.4 g / L;
[0199] Among them, the purification method of Example 2 uses an AKTA chromatography system, and in the purification method of Example 2, the chromatography column of the affinity chromatography system uses Nano-Nmab Pro filler, the deep filtration uses Cobetter Cat:CDFCDCSDH2HPPCP membrane package, the cationic membrane chromatography system is loaded with Sartorius-Sartobind S cationic chromatography membrane, and the Sartorius-Sartobind Q anionic chromatography membrane is connected to the sample loading pipeline, and the experimental loading amount is controlled by controlling the loading volume.
[0200] From Table 2 and Figure 3 to Figure 6 It can be seen that Figure 3 Corresponding to Experiment 1 and Experiment 2, Figures 4 to 6 Corresponding to Experiments 3 to 5, respectively, in Experiment 5, when the cation loading was 15.1 g / L, the sample yield was <85%, and in Experiment 1, when the cation loading was 40.3 g / L, the sample had flowed through (see Figure 3 The above two loading conditions do not meet the experimental expectations. According to Experiments 2, 3, and 4, the cation loading range is determined to be 20-35 g / L, the safety factor is 0.85, and the final cation loading range is 20-30 g / L. In addition, the recovery rate of anion membrane chromatography from Experiments 1 to 5 is between 100% and 102.4%, and the recovery rate is high and stable. The anion yields of Experiments 2 and 5 are 100.9% and 101.4%, respectively, indicating that the change in anion membrane loading has almost no effect on the overall yield, so the anion membrane loading range is set to 100-1000 g / L. In addition, the cation loading is independent of the anion loading, and the cation loading depends on the sample flow-through and yield.

The pH value of the sample is adjusted using a 1M HAc solution and a 1M Tris solution.
[0221] From Table 3 and Figure 7 to Figure 9 It can be seen that the sample has flow-through under the loading conditions of pH 5.0 and conductivity <5mS / cm (see Figure 7 The red mark indicates that the sample did not flow through when the pH value was 6.0 and the conductivity was less than 5 mS / cm. Therefore, the final sample loading conditions were pH 5.5-6.0 and the conductivity was less than 5 mS / cm.
