[0041]
When the hydrophilic polymer coating amount is within this range, the adsorption is suppressed in mixed mode affinity chromatography for nonspecific adsorbates hydrophilicity increases moderately the surface of the carrier of the present invention, the antibody substrate since the antibody adsorption capacity increases are still many room for cementation, as well as improve the purification purity, the effect of reducing the purification cost. Incidentally, the hydrophilic polymer need not cover the entire surface of the substrate, it is sufficient to cover at least a portion of the substrate.
[0042]
Incidentally, the hydrophilic polymer coating weight [unit: mg / g-dry gel] is the dry weight (W hydrophilic polymer covering P ) [unit: mg], and the dry weight of the coating before the substrate (W 0 ) [unit: g-dry gel] is a value obtained by dividing the. Further, the dry weight of the hydrophilic polymer (W P ), the dry weight (W carriers total amount 1 dry weight (W) 0 difference (W) 1 -W 0 ) [Unit: mg] in is there. Therefore, the hydrophilic polymer coating amount can be obtained by the following expression. Hydrophilic polymer coverage (mg / g-dry gel) = W P / W 0 = (W 1 -W 0 ) / W 0 dry weight (W of the coating before the substrate 0 ) is calculated as follows can do. W 0 = W 0, Xg × W
0 / x
where,
W 0, xg : before coating dry weight of the wet gel xg substrates
w 0 : wet gel mass of the hydrophilic polymer coating reaction before coating substrates using
x: before coating used in the drying group wet gel mass of wood (xg)
is.
The carrier the total amount of the dry weight (W 1 ) can also be calculated in the same manner.
[0043]
By way of example of the measurement method of the hydrophilic polymer coverage.
First, the wet gel 5g of the coated front substrate to measure the mass was dried under reduced pressure until no mass change at 50 ° C., than the product of the wet gel weight of the coating before the substrate used for the hydrophilic polymer coating reaction, coatings the dry weight of the pre-substrate.
Then, the coating before the substrate moisture gel 5g of the support obtained by coating the hydrophilic polymer by measuring the mass was dried under reduced pressure until no mass change at 50 ° C., the support obtained after the hydrophilic polymer coating reaction than the product of the wet gel weight, the dry weight of the carrier.
Further, the difference between the dry weight before coating and the dry weight of the carrier substrate, the dry weight of the hydrophilic polymer covering the coated front substrate.
Finally, the hydrophilic polymer coating weight, calculated as dry weight of the hydrophilic polymer per dry weight of the coating before the substrate.

Purification Method of the biological material purified biological material by the purification process]
biological material is purified by mixed mode affinity chromatography matrix of the present invention is not particularly limited, preferably an antibody or antibody derivative , more preferably is an immunoglobulin G or a derivative thereof.
These are used as a raw material for antibody drugs.
[0240]
Hereinafter, a detailed description of the purification method using a mixed mode affinity chromatography matrix of the present invention, biological material is illustrated for the case of the immunoglobulin G, the present invention is not limited thereto.
[0241]
Mixed mode affinity chromatography matrix biological substances using (especially antibodies) purification of the large, the adsorption step, washing step, the ionic strength adjusting step, and, in addition consists of four steps of the elution step, subsequent regeneration process and / or CIP (cleaning-in-place; cleaning in place) process, process may include for reuse, such as re-equilibration step.
[0242]
In the adsorption step, typical affinity chromatographic purification methods can be used. That is, in one example, after the pH of the protein solution containing the immunoglobulin G was adjusted to around neutral, the solution mixed mode affinity chromatography matrix of the present invention is passed through a column packed with affinity ligand specifically adsorbed on mixed mode affinity chromatography matrix immunoglobulin G through. If the antibody binding cyclic peptides and affinity ligands, their load pH, i.e. during addition the pH of the biological material is preferably 5.0 to 9.0, more preferably 5.3 to 9.0 still more preferably from 5.5 to 9.0, more preferably 6.0 to 8.5. In the purification of immunoglobulin G produced by cultured mammalian cells, in particular addition that does not require preparation of ionic strength, it can be further suppressed nonspecific adsorption in advance increased ionic strength.
[0243]
In the washing step, a buffer condition range to which the affinity ligand will function to an appropriate amount passed, to wash the column interior. That is, the preferred range of pH of the buffer may be the same range as when the load, for example, preferably pH 5.0 ~ 9.0. Immunoglobulin G at this time is adsorbed on the mixed mode affinity chromatography matrix of the present invention. At this time, by optimizing the ionic strength and / or composition at near neutral pH, there is a case where impurities can be effectively removed. During cleaning, the condition is preferably cation exchange groups does not work, i.e., preferably the use of the cleaning liquid above a certain ionic strength as well as to the near neutral pH, the carrier for mixed mode affinity chromatography in the process and / or it can be cleaned nonspecifically impurity remaining on the column via immunoglobulin G. Ionic strength, for example, preferably at 0.2M or more, and more preferably 0.5M or more.
[0244]
The ionic strength adjustment step, the ionic strength in the vicinity of neutral replace column lower buffer comprises the expression of ionic strength-dependent elution functions by cation exchange group at elution.
[0245]
The elution step, an acidic pH, the combination of ionic strength, during elution from the affinity ligand is functional cation exchange separation mode and concerted action of both ligands, low ionic strength elution high fractions of monomer content it can be recovered in fractions. The pH of the eluate can be applied elution pH of the immunoglobulin G from the affinity ligand. The pH, since it is determined mainly separation conditions determined by the type of mixed mode affinity chromatography matrix and immunoglobulin G, does not require special conditions set.
[0246]
Elution time pH is preferably set to 2.0-5.0. However, the purpose of avoiding the acid-modified biological materials, more preferably pH2.8 or higher, more preferably pH3.0 or higher, more preferably at pH3.2 or higher. pH is preferably 5.0 or less, more preferably 4.8 or less.
[0247]
The alkali resistance of the cyclic peptide to be used as an affinity ligand, typically eluted at pH preferably is set 3.2 to 4.0, but is not limited thereto. Also, elution ionic strength, in addition to depending on the introduction ratio of the affinity ligand and the cation exchange group, but it depends on the load amount of immunoglobulin G per unit volume, optimized point by Gurajien Bok experiment or stepwise elution experiments It can be easily set me.
[0248]
Antibodies eluted from mixed mode affinity chromatography matrix prepared by the present invention is also applicable in also stepwise eluted at a salt concentration Gurajien Bok elution step with ionic strength when the purpose of reducing the volume of eluate wise elution is preferred. Furthermore, for simplicity of operation, the conditions set achievable recovery and highly purified purity of antibody by one step elution is preferred.
[0249]
