Abstract
The renaturation and purification of recombinant human granulocyte macrophage colony stimulation factor (rhGM-CSF) expressed in Escherichia coli with strong anion-exchange chromatography (SAX) were studied. The effects of pH values, ratios of concentrations of GSH/GSSG, and urea concentrations in the mobile phase on the renaturation and purification of rhGM-CSF with SAX were investigated, respectively. The results show that the above three factors have remarkable influences on the efficiency of renaturation and mass recovery of rhGM-CSF. The addition of GSH/GSSG in the mobile phase can improve the formation of correct disulfide bonds in rhGM-CSF so that its renaturation yield increases. In addition, to enhance the mass recovery of rhGM-CSF with SAX, the low concentration of urea was added in the mobile phase to prevent denatured protein aggregation. Under the optimal conditions, rhGM-CSF was renatured with simultaneous purification on SAX column within 30 min only by one step. After that its specific bioactivity, mass recovery, and purity reached 1.66 x 10(7) IU x mg, 58.8%, and 96.2%, respectively.
