Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of biopharmaceutical technology, specifically relating to canine serum immunoglobulin and albumin, their preparation methods, and applications. Background Technology

[0002] Immunoglobulins and albumins in canine serum are proteins with important biological activities and have wide applications in veterinary medicine and biopharmaceutical research. To meet the practical demand for high-purity, high-yield canine serum immunoglobulins and albumins, efficient, safe, and economical preparation methods are urgently needed in related fields.

[0003] Currently, existing methods for separating and purifying animal serum immunoglobulins and albumin mainly include the low-temperature ethanol method, the rivanol method, the PEG method, the ammonium sulfate precipitation method, and chromatography. Among these: The low-temperature ethanol method is a classic protein separation method, but it has high operating requirements, is time-consuming, and usually requires multiple subsequent chromatography processes to obtain high-purity target products, resulting in a complicated process and significant loss of target products (e.g., patent CN1654072A). The Rivanol method, PEG method, and ammonium sulfate method have been gradually phased out due to safety issues (e.g., patents CN1648134A and CN103012581A). Chromatography is a key method for improving protein purity, but existing technologies have several shortcomings: affinity chromatography has drawbacks such as the risk of ligand shedding, low loading capacity, high cost, and poor economic efficiency, making it unsuitable for large-scale production of albumin and immunoglobulins; other patents employ two-step chromatography processes (such as patents CN112480246A, CN112521485A, CN118598979B, etc.), and the additional chromatography step increases the loss of the target product, prolongs the process time, and raises production costs; In addition, most existing patented technologies only target the separation and purification of a single target product (either immunoglobulin or albumin) in canine serum. For example, some patents only involve the preparation of canine albumin, and some patents only focus on the separation and purification of canine immunoglobulin. There is a lack of technical solutions that can simultaneously achieve efficient purification of two target products through the same simple process, resulting in low serum resource utilization and limited production efficiency.

[0004] In summary, existing methods for preparing canine serum immunoglobulins and albumins suffer from problems such as complex processes, long processing times, significant loss of target products, low utilization of serum resources, high production costs, or insufficient safety, making it difficult to meet the needs of large-scale production and practical applications. Therefore, developing a simple, efficient, safe, and economical method that can simultaneously purify canine serum immunoglobulins and albumins is of great practical significance. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide canine serum immunoglobulins and albumins, their preparation methods and applications. This method is simple, efficient, safe and economical, and can simultaneously purify canine serum immunoglobulins and albumins.

[0006] The objective of this invention is achieved through the following technical solution: This invention provides a method for preparing canine serum immunoglobulins and albumin, comprising the following steps: (1) Caprylic acid precipitation: After diluting and adjusting the pH of canine serum, caprylic acid was added to precipitate impurities, remove the precipitate, collect the supernatant and filter it; (2) One-step anion exchange chromatography: The supernatant filtered in step (1) is loaded onto an anion exchange chromatography column, the flow-through is collected to obtain the immunoglobulin component, and the albumin component is collected by elution.

[0007] (3) Ultrafiltration concentration and virus inactivation: After ultrafiltration concentration and buffer system replacement, the immunoglobulin component was inactivated by low pH incubation to obtain canine serum immunoglobulin. The albumin component was ultrafiltration concentration, buffer system replacement and Pasteur virus inactivation to obtain canine serum albumin. Furthermore, in step (1), the canine serum is diluted with 3-10 times the volume of purified water, and the pH is adjusted to 4.5-6.5 with acetic acid or hydrochloric acid after dilution.

[0008] Furthermore, in step (1), the final concentration of the octanoic acid is 20-35 mmol / L. After adding the octanoic acid, the pH is adjusted to the pH value before adding the octanoic acid with NaOH, stirred for 0.5-2 hours and allowed to stand for 0.5-2 hours.

[0009] Furthermore, in step (1), the removal of precipitate is carried out by centrifugation at 4000-5000g for 10-30min, or by pressure filtration or filtration, and the supernatant is filtered using a 0.22-0.45μm filter membrane.

[0010] Furthermore, in step (2), the packing material for the anion exchange chromatography is Capto Q, and the equilibration buffer and elution buffer are both acetate-sodium acetate buffer with a pH of 4.5-6.5.

[0011] Furthermore, in step (2), the albumin fraction eluted and collected is a protein fraction collected by elution with a buffer containing 0.2M NaCl.

[0012] The present invention also provides a canine serum immunoglobulin, which is prepared by the preparation method described above. After treatment with a reducing agent, the immunoglobulin exhibits two protein bands on SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis: a heavy chain with a molecular weight of approximately 50 kDa and a light chain with a molecular weight of approximately 25 kDa, with a purity of ≥96%.

[0013] The present invention also provides a canine serum albumin, which is prepared by the preparation method described above. The albumin has a molecular weight of about 66 kDa and a purity of ≥96%.

[0014] The present invention also provides the application of the canine serum immunoglobulin and / or the canine serum albumin described herein in the preparation of veterinary biological products.

[0015] The present invention also provides a veterinary biological product comprising the canine serum immunoglobulin and / or the canine serum albumin.

[0016] Beneficial effects: This invention employs a process route of "octanoic acid precipitation + one-step anion exchange chromatography + ultrafiltration concentration and virus inactivation," which offers significant advantages over existing technologies. The octanoic acid precipitation method is safe and effective, with simple operating conditions and no need for complex equipment. Compared to the low-temperature ethanol method, it significantly shortens process time, reduces operating steps, and minimizes target product loss. The one-step anion exchange chromatography, compared to two-step or affinity chromatography, avoids product loss caused by multiple steps and circumvents the drawbacks of affinity chromatography, such as ligand detachment, low loading capacity, and high cost. Furthermore, the chromatographic packing material is economical and practical, significantly reducing production costs. Simultaneously, this process can simultaneously separate and purify two target products, immunoglobulin and albumin, from canine serum, solving the problems of existing technologies that often target only a single product and have low serum resource utilization, thus achieving efficient resource utilization.

[0017] The canine serum immunoglobulins and albumins prepared by this invention have a purity of not less than 96%, and the recovery rate is within the reasonable range of the natural proportion of the corresponding proteins in healthy canine serum. The product quality is stable and reliable. The process is highly adaptable, and can stably produce high-purity products under different serum storage conditions and different process parameter ranges. Furthermore, through targeted virus inactivation treatment, it meets the safety requirements of biological products. The overall process is simple, economical, and efficient, suitable for large-scale production, and provides a high-quality raw material preparation solution for the field of veterinary biological products.

After electrophoresis, the gels were stained with Coomassie brilliant blue and images were acquired (e.g., ...). Figure 1 (As shown): Lane 4 is the protein molecular weight standard, and the molecular weight represented by each protein band is as follows: Figure 1 As shown on the right: Lane 1 is a serum sample, showing the presence of various protein components; Lane 2 is a purified immunoglobulin sample, showing two protein bands with molecular weights of 50 kDa and 25 kDa, indicating high purity and molecular weight characteristics consistent with canine immunoglobulin; Lane 3 is a purified albumin sample, showing a protein band with a molecular weight of approximately 66 kDa, indicating high purity and molecular weight characteristics consistent with canine serum albumin; the electrophoretic patterns of Lanes 2 and 3 are consistent with those of the human immunoglobulin product (Lane 5) and albumin product (Lane 6) used as controls.

[0039] 4. Testing The purity of the prepared samples was determined by protein gel electrophoresis; the protein concentration was determined by the BCA method, and the protein recovery rate was calculated.

[0040] (III) Results of purity and recovery rate tests 1. Purity testing Serum samples, purified immunoglobulin and albumin samples were treated with a reducing agent and then loaded onto an SDS-polyacrylamide gel. After electrophoresis, the gel was stained with Coomassie Brilliant Blue and images were acquired, as detailed below. Figure 4 As shown: Lane 1 is the molecular weight standard for protein electrophoresis; Lane 2 is a serum sample, showing the presence of various protein components; Lane 3 is a purified immunoglobulin sample, showing two main protein bands with molecular weights of 50 kDa and 25 kDa, indicating high purity and molecular weight characteristics consistent with canine immunoglobulins; Lane 4 is a purified albumin sample, showing a main protein band with a molecular weight of approximately 66 kDa, indicating high purity and molecular weight characteristics consistent with canine serum albumin.

[0041] 2. Protein recovery rate detection The immunoglobulins and albumins purified in this example contained 11.67% and 49.44% of the initial serum total protein, respectively, demonstrating high recovery efficiency. Specific data are shown in Table 2 below. Table 2. Total protein content and recovery rate in Example 2

[0042] In summary, this invention employs a process route of "octanoic acid precipitation + one-step anion exchange chromatography + ultrafiltration concentration and virus inactivation," which enables the simultaneous separation and purification of two target products, canine serum immunoglobulin and albumin, from canine serum under different storage conditions (short-term storage at 4°C and long-term cryopreservation below -20°C), thus achieving efficient utilization of canine serum resources.

[0043] Regarding purity, in Example 1, SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis showed that the purified immunoglobulin sample mainly exhibited two protein bands with molecular weights of 50 kDa (heavy chain) and 25 kDa (light chain), while the albumin sample mainly exhibited a protein band with a molecular weight of 66 kDa, both consistent with the molecular weight characteristics of their respective proteins. HPLC size exclusion chromatography showed that the immunoglobulin purity reached 96.30%, and the albumin purity reached 98.29%, consistent with the electrophoretic patterns of the control human immunoglobulin and albumin products. In Example 2, SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis also showed that the purified immunoglobulin sample mainly exhibited two protein bands with molecular weights of 50 kDa and 25 kDa, while the albumin sample mainly exhibited a protein band with a molecular weight of 66 kDa, both consistent with the molecular weight characteristics of their respective proteins, indicating high purity.

[0044] Regarding recovery efficiency, in Example 1, the immunoglobulin recovery rate was 12.62%, and the albumin recovery rate was 51.76%, both within the reasonable range of the natural proportions of the corresponding proteins in the serum of healthy dogs (immunoglobulin 12%-18%, albumin 55%-60%). In Example 2, the immunoglobulin recovery rate was 11.67%, and the albumin recovery rate was 49.44%, also maintaining a high recovery efficiency.

[0045] In terms of process adaptability, under different process parameters (such as final octanoic acid concentration of 25 mmol / L-35 mmol / L, pH value of 5.3-6.0, centrifugation speed of 4000g-5000g, chromatography flow rate of 3.3mL / min-5mL / min, and filter membrane pore size of 0.22μm-0.45μm), the preparation process of the present invention can stably obtain the target product with high purity and high recovery efficiency, demonstrating good process stability and adaptability.

[0046] Regarding virus inactivation, this invention achieves virus inactivation of the product by using low-pH incubation to inactivate the immunoglobulin component and pasteurization to inactivate the albumin component, thus meeting the safety requirements of biological products.

[0047] The embodiments described above are merely illustrative of several implementations of the present invention, and while the descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the invention patent. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of the present invention, and these all fall within the protection scope of the present invention. Therefore, the protection scope of this invention patent should be determined by the appended claims.
