    Objective To investigate the removal of endotoxin from pertussis toxin(PT) and filamentous hemagglutinin(FHA). Methods The endotoxin in fermentation supernatant and fermentation liquid purified by Capto SP Imp Res column chromatography were removed by using Triton and IEX separately. According to the requirements in Chinese Pharmacopoeia(Volume Ⅲ, 2015 edition), the purified samples were determined for the contents of protein, endotoxin and antigen, and analyzed by SDS-PAGE. Results Both Triton and IEX methods decreased the endotoxin content in FHA and PT before the stage of detoxification to 200 EU/mg below. However, under the suitable condition for purification, the ability of IEX in removal of endotoxin was superior to that of Triton, while the ability of Triton method in recovery of antigen was superior to that of IEX. Conclusion Both the methods may solve the problem of endotoxin removal from PT and FHA effectively. However, the effect of two procedures on protein activity needs to be further studied.

    Objective To develop a purification process for recombinant herpes simplex virus type Ⅱ(oncolytic herpes simplex virus typeⅡ,OH2)and prepare the virus with high purity. Methods Filters of different materials were applied,including PDH4 cystic filter,Bio20 cystic filter,Ultipor GF U6-40,polypropylene(PP) filter membrane and cellulose acetate(CA)filter membrane. The filtered liquid was purified by different chromatography columns,including Mustang Q column,Sartobind Q nested ion exchange column and Capto~(TM) Core 700 column. The volume of chromatographic column applied was further increased according to the purification process. The condition for purification was optimized based on the change of virus titer. Results The virus titers after purification by PP and CA membranes showed slight change,indicating low virus adsorption ability of the two materials. The recovery rate of OH2 virus purified by Mustang Q column and Sartobind Q capsule type ion exchange column was 13% at most. However,the application of Capto~(TM) Core 700 in AKTA instrument almost caused no loss of virus during the purification process. The optimal diameter of Capto~(TM)Core 700 column was 26 mm. Under the conditions mentioned above,the titer and recovery rate of virus were satisfactory.Conclusion The OH2 at high purity was obtained by filter of cell lysate by CA filter membrane and purification by Capto~(TM)Core 700 column chromatography.

  • Application of nanobodies in infectious diseases

    WANG Zhi-ming;YANG Li-xia;NCPC New Drug Research and Development Co.,Ltd.,State Key Laboratory of Antibody Drug Development;

    Given the unique molecular characteristics,nanobodies are amenable to many applicability as diagnostic or therapeutic tools. These nanobodies have been exploited in the field of infectious diseases:the nanobodies of anti-virus,anti-bacteria,anti-parasites and detoxifying agents are in different stages of development. The key activities of the nanobodies targeting the pathogen surface targets are engagement of the host immune system through complement fixation and opsonophagocytic killing(OPK),and neutralizing the toxin produced by the pathogen,which significantly reduce the damage to the structure and function of host cells,and reduce the severity of infection. The rapid development of antibody engineering technology promotes the exploration and new attempts in anti-infectious nanobodies. Two nanobody drugs have been in the late phase of clinical trials,of which the relevant results need to be further observed. Nanobodies may play a role in the treatment of infectious diseases with the promoting of research progress in the future.
