摘要:
Disclosed are devices for holding samples, particularly liquid samples, during high-pressure treatment. The devices enable a variety of functions, such as high-throughput screening of samples in multi-compartment device embodiments, and adjustment of solution conditions during high-pressure treatment. The devices are designed to maintain integrity during the high-pressure conditions, and are optionally substantially impermeable to oxygen.
摘要:
Methods for producing biologically active protein from aggregated and/or denatured proteins which comprise subjecting the protein to high hydrostatic pressure in the presence of a ligand or specific binding agent are disclosed. The ligand can be a macromolecule, such as another protein, a nucleic acid, or other macromolecules, or the ligand can be a small organic molecule.

Described herein are methods for the solubilization and proteolytic cleavage of fusion protein aggregates, including autocatalytic fusion proteins, at pressures greater than atmospheric pressure to yield soluble target polypeptides.
摘要:
Methods are provided using high pressure to treat aggregated interferons, to reduce the aggregate content of interferon material. In particular, recombinant human interferon-β may be so treated. Multiple strategies may be used in combination to make nonglycosylated IFN-β more amenable to high pressure treatment. When coupled with purification techniques, these strategies singly or in combination provide a low aggregate or substantially aggregate free, biologically active solution. In certain aspects, pharmaceutical compositions containing nonglycosylated interferon having less than about 5 weight percent of protein aggregation are provided.
摘要:
High pressure to treat aggregated interferons, particularly recombinant human interferon-β, to reduce the aggregate content of interferon material. Highly pure, soluble monomeric recombinant interferon-β is prepared in representative embodiments. Multiple strategies may be used in combination that make nonglycosylated IFN-β more amenable to high pressure treatment. It has been found that refolding yields of high pressure treatment can be significantly improved by use of a combination of strategies, including, or example a pre-treatment of the IFN-β that involves solubilizing and then precipitating the protein. This pre-treatment is particularly effective with respect to recombinant IFN-β inclusion bodies recovered from host cells such as E. coli cells. According to another strategy, refolding under high pressure is much more effective when the refolding reagent incorporating the IFN-β incorporates a zwitterionic surfactant and/or a cholate salt. When a solubilization and precipitation pre-treatment is used, the effectiveness of the high pressure treatment is further enhanced when the refolding reagent incorporating the protein incorporates a disulfide shuffling chemistry such as cysteine/cystine. According to still yet another strategy, high pressure treatment is more effective when using atypically high treatment pressures. When coupled with purification techniques, these strategies singly or in combination provide a low aggregate or substantially aggregate free, biologically active solution. Biologically active solutions comprising nonglycosylated interferon, said interferon comprising less than about 5 weight percent of protein aggregation has been found to exhibit improved PK/PD characteristics.
