Chelating ligands and polyamines as ionogenic groups for human IgG purification by chromatography

Orientador: Sônia Maria Alves BuenoTese (doutorado) - Universidade Estadual de Campinas, Faculdade de Engenharia QuímicaResumo: Dentre os hemoderivados disponíveis comercialmente, as imunoglobulina do isotipo G (IgG) recebem destaque pelo seu uso em aplicações terapêuticas. Por esta razão são requeridas com elevado grau de pureza. Várias técnicas vêm sendo investigadas para a purificação de IgG a partir do soro ou plasma humano, desde a precipitação até métodos mais seletivos, como os cromatográficos. Neste trabalho, investigou-se o efeito de agentes quelantes de IMAC (cromatografia por íons metálicos imobilizados) como Tris-2(aminoetil)amina (TREN) e o-fosfoserin (OPS) como grupos ionogênicos (sem íon metálico imobilizado), além do aminoácido L-Lisina e seu polímero poli-L-Lisina (PLL) como ligantes visando a purificação de IgG a partir do soro humano. Para tanto, foram realizados experimentos de adsorção em diferentes sistemas tamponantes. A seletividade dos adsorventes foi verificada por eletroforese SDS-PAGE e análise nefelométrica. As melhores condições, para cada caso, foram utilizadas em experimentos de curvas de ruptura e isotermas de adsorção de albumina de soro humano (HSA) e IgG. No caso dos ligantes TREN e PLL, 73% e 86% da IgG alimentada foi recuperada nas frações não-retidas (cromatografia negativa) apresentado pureza superior a 90%. Quando o ligante OPS foi utilizado, por sua vez, a recuperação de IgG ocorreu nas frações retidas juntamente com IgM. Experimentos de curva de ruptura mostraram que um fator de purificação de 4.9 foi atingido, sendo a IgG recuperada com pureza de 88%. Este ligante se mostrou eficiente quando se deseja purificar IgG humana que possui pontos isoelétricos na faixa de 7,8 a 8,5. Para todos os ligantes, a recuperação de IgG a partir soro humano pode ser alcançado sob condições brandas de pH, baixa força iônica, e temperatura ambiente. De um ponto de vista de processo em larga escala, todos os ligantes apresentados neste trabalho apresentam potencial para serem usados como uma das etapas em um processo industrial de recuperação e purificação de IgGAbstract: Among the commercially available hemoderivatives or blood products, the immunoglobulin G (IgG) is highlighted by its use in therapeutic applications, which need high purity IgG. Several techniques are being investigated aiming at the purification of IgG from human serum or plasma, usually starting with precipitation and then using more selective methods such as chromatography. In this study, we evaluated the effect of Tris-2 (aminoethyl) amine (TREN) and o-phosphoserine (OPS) - two chelating agents used in immobilized metal ion chromatography (IMAC) - as ionogenic groups (without immobilized metal ion), and the amino acid L-lysine and its polymer poly-L-lysine (PLL) as ligands aiming at the purification of IgG from human serum. For this purpose, adsorption experiments were performed using different buffering systems. The selectivity of the adsorbents was checked by SDS-PAGE and nephelometric analysis. The best conditions for each adsorbent were used in experiments of breakthrough curves and adsorption isotherms of human serum albumin (HSA) and IgG. In the case of TREN and PLL, 73% and 86% of IgG fed was recovered in the non-retained fractions (negative chromatography) with purity higher than 90%. When the ligand OPS was used, IgG was recovered in retained fractions. Experiments of breakthrough curve showed that a purification factor of 4.9 was reached, and IgG was recovered with a purity degree 88% (with IgM). This ligand is efficient when it is desired to purify human IgG with isoelectric points ranging from 7.8 to 8.5. For all ligands, the recovery of IgG from human serum was achieved under mild conditions of pH, low ionic strength and temperature. All ligands presented in this study have potential to be used in an industrial downstream processing of IgG from human serumDoutoradoDesenvolvimento de Processos BiotecnologicosDoutor em Engenharia Químic

Isolation and purification of bromelain from waste peel of pineapple for therapeutic application

The aim of this work was to isolate and purify bromelain extracted from the pineapple peel by ammonium sulfate precipitation (40-80%), followed by desalting and freeze-drying with a 75% activity recovery and 2.2 fold increased specific activity. Ion exchange chromatography on DEAE-Sepharose was able to separate the polysaccharides from the enzyme, which was recovered in the elution step, maintaining its enzymatic activity. The batch adsorption of bromelain was evaluated in terms of total protein and enzymatic activity using Langmuir and Langmuir-Freundlich models. Results showed that the process could be suitable for the recovery and purification of the enzyme, maintaining its specific activity.Conselho Nacional de Desenvolvimento Científico e Tecnológico (CNPq)Universidade Estadual de Campinas Faculdade de Engenharia QuímicaUniversidade Federal de São Paulo (UNIFESP) Departamento de Ciências Exatas e da TerraUniversidade Federal de Uberlândia Instituto de Genética e BioquímicaUniversidade Estadual de Campinas Faculdade de Ciências MédicasUNIFESP, Depto. de Ciências Exatas e da TerraSciEL

Immobilized metal-ion affinity chromatography (IMAC) of biomolecules: fundamental aspects and technological applications

Immobilized Metal Ion Affinity Cromatography - IMAC - is a group-specific based adsorption applied to the purification and structure-function studies of proteins and nucleic acids. The adsorption is based on coordination between a metal ion chelated on the surface of a solid matrix and electron donor groups at the surface of the biomolecule. IMAC is a highly selective, low cost, and easily scaled-up technique being used in research and commercial operations. A separation process can be designed for a specific molecule by just selecting an appropriate metal ion, chelating agent, and operational conditions such as pH, ionic strength, and buffer type.1288129

Quality control of small and large-scale brewed beers / Controle de qualidade de cervejas pequenas e em larga escala

Beer is one of the oldest and most consumed beverages in the world. It is the industry that has more excellent representation in the alcoholic beverage sector, contributing significantly to the global economy. There has been a recent boom in demand for small-scale brewed beers (called craft beer), people have sought variety in flavor, aroma and unique beer characteristics. Microbreweries are companies that aim at productions on a small-scale and with a differentiated product, of high sensorial quality and defined styles. The beer of microbreweries is more full-bodied, with a remarkable aroma and flavor. The producers are engaged in proposing novelties, surpassing expectations, achieving perfection, and producing the product with art. Marketing connects these two worlds and uses the sensory, affective relationship to drive that market. Considering the current market requirement and the importance of effective quality control, this work evaluated the quality of American IPA, small and large-scale brewed beers, by assessing the reproducibility of physical-chemical and sensory analysis. Through physical-chemical tests, the craft beer produced in the present work was compared to the large-scale brewed beers, the market-leading, and a beer recently introduced to the market with innovative/bold proposals. To conclude the comparative analyzes, a sensorial analysis was carried out to determine the acceptability and the preference scale of the beers. No significant differences were perceived by the beer consumers comparing the three evaluated products, showed the high quality of the craft beverage developed in the present work

Purification on monoclonal antibodies using IMAC in PEVA hollow fiber membranes: comparison of chelating agents IDA, CM-Asp and TREN

Orientador: Sonia Maria Alves BuenoDissertação (mestrado) - Universidade Estadual de Campinas, Faculdade de Engenharia QuimicaResumo: Anticorpos monoclonais são imunoglobulinas secretadas por clones de linfócitos B, normais, tumorais ou obtidos pela tecnologia de hibridomas. Os anticorpos monoclonais têm sido utilizados nas áreas analítica e terapêutica, o que implica na necessidade de sua obtenção com pureza superior a 95%. Muitos estudos têm sido realizados visando à purificação de anticorpos monoclonais, destacando-se as técnicas de adsorção seletiva, como as cromatografias de troca iônica, hidrofóbica e de afinidade. Neste trabalho aplicou-se a cromatografia de afinidade em membranas de álcool polietileno-vinílico (PEVA), comparando o desempenho dos agentes quelantes (AQ) ácido iminodiacético (IDA), ácido aspártico carboximetilado (CM-Asp) e tris-2(aminoetil)amina (TREN) com íons metálicos imobilizados na purificação de anticorpos monoclonais anti-TNP, isotipo IgG1 a partir de sobrenadante de cultura celular precipitado e dialisado. Para determinar as melhores condições de adsorção e eluição na presença de diferentes sistemas tamponantes, foram testados os quelatos AQ-Ni2+, AQ-Zn2+ e AQ-Co2+, bem como os agentes quelantes sem metal imobilizado como grupos ionogênicos. De acordo com eletroforeses SDS-PAGE e análises ELlSA das frações dos picos de proteína obtidos, as melhores condições utilizadas para a purificação foi o uso de membranas PEVA-IDA-sem metal e PEVA-CM-Asp-Zn2+, em presença de tampão Tris-HCI 50 mM a pH 7,0 e eluição por aumento de concentração de Tris, atingindo fatores de purificação de 138,9 e 103,8 e pureza de 92,3% e 68,1%, respectivamente. A partir das isotermas de adsorção, determinou-se a capacidade máxima de adsorção e a constante de dissociação dos complexos IDA-lgG1 e CM-Asp-Zn2+ -lgG1 que, de acordo com o ajuste dos parâmetros pelo modelo de Langmuir, mostraram alta capacidade de adsorção e constantes de dissociação características de sistemas de afinidade média. Com o módulo de fibras ocas, construído em nosso laboratório, determinaram-se as curvas de ruptura por meio de experimentos de filtração para os processos propostos, e os resultados obtidos demonstraram que os sistemas de fibras ocas PEVA-IDA e PEVA-GM-Asp-Zn2+ são factíveis para a purificação de anticorpos monoclonais do isotipo IgG1Abstract: Monoclonal antibodies are immunoglobulins produced by normal, tumoral or hybrids Iymphocytes 8 obtained by hibridoma technology. Hybridomas are resulted from the fusion of Iymphocytes B with malignant myeloma cells which express both the Iymphocyte's property of specific-antibody production and the immortal characteristic of the myeloma cells. Monoclonal antibodies have been used in analytic and therapeutic areas. This application needs highly pure antibodies. Many techniques have been studied focusing monoclonal antibodies purification. These techniques include ion exchange, hydrophobic and affinity chromatography. In this study, we applied polyethylenevinyl alcohol (PEVA) membranes in the purification of monoclonal antibody from cel! culture supematant comparing the chelating agents Iminodiacetic Acid (IDA), Carboxy-methyl Aspartic Acid (CM-Asp) and Tris-2(aminoethyl)amine) (TREN) with different immobilized metal ios, Ni2+, Zn2+ and C02+, and with different buffers. We also evaluated the adsorption and purification of monoclonal antibodies using the chelating agents as ionogenic groups. According to SDS-PAGE electrophoresis and ELlSA analysis, the higher selectivity was obtained in the presence of 50 mM Tris-HCI buffer, pH 7,0 and with elution by increasing Tris concentration, with CM-Asp-Zn2+ and IDA as ionogenic group, which provided the purification of IgG with traces of albumin, reaching purification factors of 138.9 and 103.8 and purities of 92.3% and 68.1, respectively. The adsorbent capacity and the dissociation constant of the complexes IDA-lgG1 e CM-Asp-Zn2+ -lgG1 were determinate from adsorption isotherms. According to Langmuir model, the results indicated that the matrix presents high adsorption capacity and a dissociation constant characteristic for intermediate affinity systems. We also evaluated the breaktrough curves for the proposed processes. These breaktrough curves are important to scale up procedureMestradoDesenvolvimento de Processos BiotecnologicosMestre em Engenharia Químic
