Description

피막 다당류-단백질 접합 백신의 품질 평가 방법{METHOD FOR QUALITY EVALUATION OF CAPSULAR POLYSACCHRIDE-PROTEIN CONJUGATE VACCINE}Quality evaluation method of capsular polysaccharide-protein conjugated vaccine {METHOD FOR QUALITY EVALUATION OF CAPSULAR POLYSACCHRIDE-PROTEIN CONJUGATE VACCINE}

본 발명은 피막 다당류-단백질 접합 백신의 품질 평가 방법에 관한 것이다.
The present invention relates to a method for evaluating the quality of a capsular polysaccharide-protein conjugated vaccine.

인체에서 병원성을 나타내는 주요 항원 물질인 세균의 피막 다당류(capsular polysaccharide, CPS)는, 세균의 감염을 예방하기 위한 백신 항원으로 사용된다. 그러나, 상기 CPS를 이용하여 제조된 백신을 단독으로 투여하는 경우 3년 이하의 짧은 면역기간을 보이며, 특히 2세 이하의 유아에서 낮은 면역원성을 나타낸다. 따라서, 이러한 한계를 극복하기 위하여 CPS에 단백질을 접합한 다당류-단백질 접합 백신이 개발되었다.Bacterial capsular polysaccharide (CPS), which is a major antigenic substance showing pathogenicity in the human body, is used as a vaccine antigen to prevent bacterial infection. However, when the vaccine prepared using the CPS is administered alone, a short immunity period of 3 years or less is shown, and particularly, low immunogenicity is shown in infants 2 years or younger. Therefore, in order to overcome this limitation, a polysaccharide-protein conjugation vaccine was developed in which a protein was conjugated to CPS.

다당류-단백질 접합 백신은, 제조 과정에서 생성된 다당류 및 단백질 접합체의 접합율, 결합되지 않은 유리당류의 비율, 및 형성된 접합체의 크기 등에 의해 그 품질을 평가할 수 있다.The quality of the polysaccharide-protein conjugated vaccine can be evaluated by the conjugation rate of the polysaccharide and protein conjugate produced in the manufacturing process, the ratio of unbound free saccharide, and the size of the formed conjugate.

이와 관련하여, 대한민국 등록특허 제10-0947757호는 다가 수막구균 다당류-단백질 접합체 백신의 제조방법을 개시하고 있으나, 상기 제조된 접합체 백신의 품질을 평가하는 방법은 언급하고 있지 않다.
In this regard, Korean Patent Registration No. 10-0947757 discloses a method for preparing a multivalent meningococcal polysaccharide-protein conjugate vaccine, but does not mention a method for evaluating the quality of the prepared conjugate vaccine.

한편, 유리당류는 다당류-단백질 접합 백신의 제조 과정에서 접합 단백질과 접합체를 형성하지 않은 다당류를 의미한다. 일반적으로, 접합 백신에 포함된 유리당류의 함량이 낮을수록 상기 백신의 면역원성이 좋은 것으로 알려져 있다.Meanwhile, free saccharide refers to a polysaccharide that does not form a conjugate with a conjugated protein in the manufacturing process of a polysaccharide-protein conjugated vaccine. In general, it is known that the lower the content of free saccharides contained in the conjugated vaccine, the better the immunogenicity of the vaccine.

이와 같은 유리당류의 함량은, 접합 백신에 포함된 유리당류를 정제 및 정량하고, 정량한 유리당류의 함량을 반응에 사용된 총 당류의 함량과 비교하여 결정된다. 접합 백신에서 유리당류의 함량을 측정하기 위한 종래의 방법으로는 수산화알루미늄 젤을 이용한 단백질 흡착법, 디옥시콜레이트(deoxycholate)를 이용한 단백질 침전법 등이 알려져 있다.
The content of such free saccharides is determined by purifying and quantifying the free saccharides contained in the conjugated vaccine, and comparing the quantified amount of free saccharides with the content of total saccharides used in the reaction. Conventional methods for measuring the content of free saccharides in conjugated vaccines include a protein adsorption method using aluminum hydroxide gel and a protein precipitation method using deoxycholate.

구체적으로, 소수성 수지로서 페닐 리간드를 가진 6% 가교 아가로즈 수지(페닐 HP 수지)(GE Healthcare, 미국)가 충전된 1.6x10 ㎝의 폴리프로필렌 컬럼을 준비하였다. 여기에 평형화 완충액(1.7 M의 황산암모늄을 포함하는 50 mM 트리스, pH 7.5)을 1 내지 2 ㎖/분의 속도로 흘려보내 컬럼을 평형화시켰다.Specifically, a 1.6x10 cm polypropylene column filled with a 6% crosslinked agarose resin (phenyl HP resin) (GE Healthcare, USA) having a phenyl ligand as a hydrophobic resin was prepared. The column was equilibrated by flowing an equilibration buffer (50 mM Tris containing 1.7 M ammonium sulfate, pH 7.5) at a rate of 1 to 2 ml/min.

한편, 장티푸스균 피막 다당류 접합체를 동량의 평형화 완충액과 혼합하여 시료를 준비하였다. 백신도 상기와 동일하게 시료를 준비하였다. 준비된 시료들을 상기 평형화된 컬럼에 각각 로딩한 후, 소수성 수지에 결합되지 않고 용출되는 유리당류 분획을 수득하였다. 또한, 로딩 후, 용출 완충액(0.9% 생리식염수)을 1 내지 2 ㎖/분의 유속으로 가하여 소수성 수지에 접합된 접합체를 용출시켜 접합체 분획을 수득하였다.
On the other hand, a sample was prepared by mixing the typhoid bacteria capsular polysaccharide conjugate with an equal amount of equilibration buffer. Samples were prepared in the same manner as described above. After the prepared samples were each loaded onto the equilibrated column, a free saccharide fraction eluted without being bound to a hydrophobic resin was obtained. Further, after loading, an elution buffer (0.9% physiological saline) was added at a flow rate of 1 to 2 ml/min to elute the conjugate conjugated to the hydrophobic resin to obtain a conjugate fraction.

먼저, 용출 완충액의 농도구배에 따른 다당류 피크의 분리를 통해 HPAEC-PAD 방법이 유리당류의 정량에 적합한지 여부를 확인하였다. 구체적으로, 상기 접합체 분획에 2 M의 농도가 되도록 수산화나트륨을 첨가하고 110℃에서 4시간 동안 가열하여 상기 분획에 포함된 다당류를 가수분해시켰다. 가수분해된 시료는 0.2 ㎛의 필터로 여과하여 준비하였다. 한편, 상기 컬럼은 1 내지 2 ㎖/분의 유속으로 평형화 완충액(0.01 내지 0.2 M 수산화나트륨)을 가하여 평형화시켰다. 상기 준비된 시료를 평형화된 컬럼에 로딩한 뒤, 용출 완충액으로서 100 내지 200 mM의 질산나트륨을 포함하는 수산화나트륨 용액을 이용하여 용출 분획을 수득한 결과를 도 1에 나타내었다. 이때, 상기 용출 완충액은 하기 표 1에 기재된 바와 같은 농도구배 조건으로 1 ㎖/분의 유속으로 가하였다.First, it was confirmed whether the HPAEC-PAD method was suitable for quantification of free saccharides by separating the polysaccharide peaks according to the concentration gradient of the elution buffer. Specifically, sodium hydroxide was added to the conjugate fraction to a concentration of 2 M, and heated at 110° C. for 4 hours to hydrolyze the polysaccharide contained in the fraction. The hydrolyzed sample was prepared by filtering through a 0.2 μm filter. Meanwhile, the column was equilibrated by adding an equilibration buffer (0.01 to 0.2 M sodium hydroxide) at a flow rate of 1 to 2 ml/min. After loading the prepared sample onto the equilibrated column, the result of obtaining an eluted fraction using a sodium hydroxide solution containing 100 to 200 mM sodium nitrate as an elution buffer is shown in FIG. 1. At this time, the elution buffer was added at a flow rate of 1 ml/min under the conditions of the concentration gradient as shown in Table 1 below.

상기와 동일한 방법을 사용하여 실험예 1-1에서 수득한 각 분획을 HPAEC-PAD로 분석하고 유리당류의 함량을 측정하였다.Using the same method as described above, each fraction obtained in Experimental Example 1-1 was analyzed by HPAEC-PAD, and the content of free saccharides was measured.

그 결과, 도 2에 나타난 바와 같이, 유리당류 분획(A), 또는 장티푸스균의 피막 다당류 및 디프테리아 톡소이드 접합 단백질의 접합체 분획(B)에 포함되는 다당류의 피크가 잘 분리됨을 확인하였다. 유리당류의 함량은, 상기 분리된 피크를 이용하여 HPAEC-PAD 크로마토그램으로 정량을 한 뒤, 총 다당류 대비 유리당류의 함량으로 결정하였다. 그 결과, 장티푸스균의 피막 다당류-디프테리아 톡소이드 접합체의 유리당류 함량은 0 내지 20%로 확인되었다.
As a result, as shown in Figure 2, it was confirmed that the peak of the polysaccharide contained in the free saccharide fraction (A) or the conjugate fraction (B) of the capsular polysaccharide of typhoid bacteria and diphtheria toxoid conjugated protein was well separated. The content of free saccharides was quantified using the HPAEC-PAD chromatogram using the separated peaks, and then determined as the content of free saccharides relative to the total polysaccharides. As a result, it was confirmed that the free saccharide content of the polysaccharide-diphtheria toxoid conjugate of typhoid bacteria was 0 to 20%.
