Technical field
The present invention relates to antibody preparation technical field of purification, specifically, the present invention relates in Su Jin monoclonal antibody or its product
The minimizing technology of cysteine variant.
Background technique
Interleukins (IL-17) monoclonal antibody is a kind of monoclonal antibody in conjunction with IL-17, and Su Jin monoclonal antibody (AIN457) is made
For one of IL-17 monoclonal antibody, it has been approved for the treatment of the diseases such as psoriasis and ankylosing spondylitis, has had and significantly controls
Therapeutic effect and application prospect.
However, Su Jin monoclonal antibody at the 97th of light chain variable region there are free cysteine, on the free cysteine
Free sulfhydryl groups chemical property is very active, can chemically react with a large amount of substance, such as with present in cultivating system half
Cystine reacts (i.e. cysteine modification), and the cysteine variant of Su Jin monoclonal antibody is consequently formed, causes antibody activity
Loss.
Chinese patent application discloses CN107001460A and proposes a kind of this half Guang ammonia of selective reduction Su Jin monoclonal antibody
The method for being acidified variant, this method restores masked cysteine residues using reducing agent, to keep maximum Su Jin
Monoclonal antibody antigen-binding activity.The preferred cysteine of the patent application is as reducing agent, by the half Guang ammonia that certain mol proportion is added
Acid, and the dissolved oxygen in reaction process, pH and temperature are adjusted, pass through the pH etc. of adjusting reaction system again after reacting a period of time
Mode terminates reaction, obtains complete antibody.
But the method for the patent application has significant defect when being applied to and commercially producing.Compared to classics
The step of monoclonal antibody-purified method, the more redox of this method are incubated for, the step for need strict control condition,
Therefore the complexity for increasing technique, is also unfavorable for being mass produced.Furthermore the cysteine being added can not only go back original antibody
Cysteine variant, can also destroy the normal disulfide bond of antibody, it is possible to cause antibody fragments to generate, reduce antibody
Purity and activity increase process risk.In addition, the step for required unconventional antibody purification equipment, reagent, consumptive material it is also big
The cost of technique is increased greatly.
Therefore, for the cysteine variant in Su Jin monoclonal antibody or its product, this field, which still has, removes it
The needs of method.
