    摘要: An expression vector for expressing a target polypeptide in a prokaryotic cell is provided. The vector comprises a promoter operably linked to a polynucleotide encoding the target polypeptide operably linked to a eukaryotic secretion leader sequence, the eukaryotic secretion leader sequence encoding a signal peptide sequence selected from the group consisting of: a) MLKRSSWLATLGLLTVASVSTIVYA; b) MKKATFITCLLAVLLVSNPIWNA; c) MKVSAAALAVILIATALCAPASA; d) MKVSTAFLCLLLTVSAFSAQVLA; and e) MKCLLLALGLALACAAQA. Processes for expressing polypeptides and prokaryotic microorganisms comprising such vectors are also provided.

    摘要: A process for purifying a liquid feedstock comprising a monoclonal antibody and impurities, the process comprising passing the liquid feedstock through an apparatus comprising at least two processing units, each such unit producing a product stream containing purified monoclonal antibody and optionally a waste stream comprising at least some of the impurities, wherein each unit comprises specified components (i) to (v) which include a multiple inlet flow-controller comprising two or more variable flow inlet valves for in situ production of a bioprocessing liquid by combining at least two liquids in a desired ratio. One of the units performs chromatography and another performs viral inactivation. The units may be essentially the same except for a device they contain, leading to advantages in terms of simplicity, cost and ease of operation, lower risk of operator error, easier maintenance and lower inventory of spare parts.

    摘要: Apparatus for processing a liquid comprising a target substance, preferably a biomolecule, is provided. The apparatus comprises at least a first and a second means for carrying out a unit operation, each means for carrying out a unit operation comprising a feed for a liquid in fluid connection with the inlet of a flow-controller comprising a variable flow inlet valve and an outlet, wherein at least one of the means for carrying out a unit operation comprises feeds for at least two liquids, the feeds being in fluid connection with the inlets of a multiple inlet flow-controller comprising two or more variable flow inlet valves for dosing the at least two liquids, the flow-controller also comprising an outlet; a feed for a liquid feedstock comprising the target substance in fluid connection with the outlet from the flow-controller thereby to enable combination of the feed for a liquid comprising the target substance with the mixed bioprocessing liquids to produce a device feed; a device for achieving a processing operation comprising a device inlet and a device outlet, the device inlet being in fluid connection with the device feed; and a means for imparting flow through the flow controller and from the feed for the liquid feedstock through the processing device via the device inlet; and wherein the feed for a liquid feedstock comprising the target substance for the second means for carrying out a unit operation comprises the outlet from the first means for carrying out a unit operation.
