Abstract
The presented study focuses on the feasibility of immobilized metal affinity chromatography for purification of Madin Darby canine kidney cell culture-derived influenza virus particles. Therefore, influenza virus A/Puerto Rico/8/34 was screened for adsorption to different transition metal ions attached to iminodiacetic acid. Subsequently, capturing of the same virus strain using zinc-modified iminodiacetic acid membrane adsorbers was characterized regarding viral recoveries, host cell nucleic acid and total protein depletion as well as zinc-ion-leaching. In addition, the effect of the imidazole proton pump on virus stability was studied based on the hemagglutination activity. During adsorption in the presence of 1 M sodium chloride the majority of virus particles were recovered in the product (64% hemagglutination activity). Host cell nucleic acid and total protein content were reduced to approximately 7 and 26%, respectively. This inexpensive and rapid method was applied reproducibly for influenza virus A/Puerto Rico/8/34 preparations on the laboratory scale. However, preliminary results with other virus strains indicated clearly a strong strain dependency for viral adsorption.
