  • Manufacturing of Agarose-Based Chromatographic Media with Controlled Pore and Particle Size
    MANUFACTURING OF AGAROSE-BASED CHROMATOGRAPHIC MEDIA WITH CONTROLLED PORE AND PARTICLE SIZE by Nicolas Ioannidis A thesis submitted to The University of Birmingham for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY School of Chemical Engineering College of Engineering and Physical Sciences The University of Birmingham 2009 University of Birmingham Research Archive e-theses repository This unpublished thesis/dissertation is copyright of the author and/or third parties.

ABSTRACT Chromatography remains the most commonly employed method for achieving high resolution separation of large-sized biomolecules, such as plasmid DNA, typically around 150-250 nm in diameter. Currently, fractionation of such entities is performed using stationary phases designed for protein purification, typically employing pore sizes of about 40 nm. This results into a severe underexploitation of the porous structure of the adsorbent as adsorption of plasmid DNA occurs almost exclusively on the outer surface of the adsorbent. In this study, the effect of two processing parameters, the ionic strength of agarose solution and quenching temperature, on the structure of the resulting particles was investigated. Three characterization methods, Atomic Force and cryo-Scanning Electron microscopy, as well as mechanical testing of single particles where used to quantify the effect of these parameters on the pore size/size distribution and mechanical properties of the adsorbent.

  • Differences Between Homogeneous Spermidine Synthases Isolated

No apparent difference between the two enzymes was observed in specific activity, molecular weight (74,000), or subunit composition (two subunits). However, significant differences were observed in their pI values, which were 5.16 for the pig enzyme and 5.34 for the rat enzyme, and their peptide maps. Amino acid compositions of the two enzymes were closely related, but differed significantly in some amino acids. In addition, the rat enzyme was more sensitive to inhibition by S-adenosyl-1,8-diamino-3-thiooctane than the pig enzyme. Spermidine synthase [EC 2.5.1.16] catalyzes the On the other hand, a recent report (4) has shown transfer of the propylamine moiety from S-adeno that there were significant differences among sper syl(5•Œ)-3-methylthiopropylamine (decarboxy Ado midine synthases from different bacterial species Met) to putrescine to form spermidine.

Although, the partition behavior involved in the method is complex and difficult to predict. Current research shows that it has also been successfully used in the detection of veterinary drug residues in food, separation of precious metals, sewage treatment and a variety of other purposes. The ATPS is able to give high recovery yield and is easily to scale up. It is also very economic and environment friendly method. The aim of this review is to overview the basics of ATPS, optimization and its applications.

  • Mab) Purification by Counter Current Chromatography (CCC
    Monoclonal antibody (mAb) purification by Counter Current Chromatography (CCC) A thesis submitted to Brunel University for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy by Samantha Fernando Institute for Bioengineering, Brunel University, London December 2011 Abstract Counter current chromatography (CCC) is a form of liquid liquid chromatography, which the Brunel Institute for Bioengineering (BIB) team have developed to process scale. In this thesis, its application has been successfully extended to the rapid, scalable purification of monoclonal antibodies (mAb) from mammalian cell culture, using aqueous two-phase systems (ATPS) of inorganic salts and polymer. A polyethylene glycol (PEG) and sodium citrate system was found to be the most appropriate by robotic phase system selection. The search for an economical alternative to protein A HPLC is a substantial bioprocessing concern; in this work CCC has been investigated. Initial studies showed that unpredictably, despite separation from impurities being achieved, some loss in the IgG‘s ability to bind to Protein A was seen, as confirmed by Protein A BiaCore analysis. CCC machines were seen to adversely affect IgG functionality. This led to a systematic investigation of the effect of CCC phase mixing on IgG functionality in a number of different CCC instruments, allowing direct comparisons of modes of CCC (hydrodynamic and hydrostatic CCC) and their associated mixing (wave- like and cascade, respectively). The varying g forces produced within the CCC column were determined using a recently developed model to calculate g force range. The effect of interfacial tension was also studied using a custom built ‗g‘ shaker. The optimum CCC mode was identified to be the non synchronous CCC, operated in a hydrodynamic mode but allowing bobbin to rotor speed (Pr ratio) to be controlled independently.

  • Development of Aqueous Two-Phase Separations by Combining High-Throughput Screening and Process Modelling
    Development of aqueous two-phase separations by combining high-throughput screening and process modelling A thesis submitted to University College London for the degree of DOCTOR OF ENGINEERING by Nehal Patel Friday 21st July 2017 The Advanced Centre for Biochemical Engineering Department of Biochemical Engineering University College London Gower Street, London, WC1E 6BT, UK 1 I, Nehal Patel, confirm that the work presented in this thesis is my own. Where information has been derived from other sources, I confirm that this has been indicated in the thesis. 2 Abstract Separation based on aqueous two-phase extraction (ATPE) is a promising downstream separation technology for the production of biological products. The advantages of using aqueous two-phase systems include but are not limited to easy scalability, ease of continuous operation and a favourable environment for biological compounds. One of the main challenges associated with aqueous two-phase systems is process development. This is in part due to the many factors which influence the separation of biological materials in such systems such as polymer and salt type, pH and charge. The large number of factors to consider makes the development of aqueous two-phase systems challenging due to the need to find a robust and efficient separation in a large experimental space. This work addresses this issue by considering the use of dynamic process models and high-throughput experimentation for the development of aqueous two-phase extraction processes for biological products. The use of a dynamic equilibrium stage process model to simulate aqueous two-phase extraction is considered in Chapter 3. The process model is capable of simulating various modes of operation; and both multi-cycle batch and continuous counter-current modes of operation are considered.

In addition to monoclonal antibodies (mAbs), antibody fragments are successfully applied. However, recombinant production faces challenges. Process analytical tools for monitoring and controlling production processes are scarce and time-intensive. In the downstream process (DSP), affinity ligands are established as the primary and most important step, while the application of other methods is challenging. The use of these affinity ligands as monitoring tools would enable a platform technology to monitor process steps in the USP and DSP. In this review, we highlight the current applications of affinity ligands (proteins A, G, and L) and discuss further applications as process analytical tools.
