Abstract
Bacterial extracellular vesicles (BEVs) have extraordinary biotechnological potential, but traditional purification methods lack desirable scalability and commonly co-isolate protein impurities, limiting clinical translation. Anion exchange chromatography (AEC) separates molecules based on differences in net charge and is widely used for industrial biomanufacturing of protein therapeutics. Recently, AEC has recently been applied for purification of EVs from both mammalian and bacterial sources. Since most bacteria produce BEVs with a negative surface membrane change, AEC can potentially be widely used for BEV purification. Here, we describe a method utilizing high-performance AEC (HPAEC) in tandem with size-based tangential flow filtration for improved BEV purification. We have previously found this method can reduce co-isolated protein impurities and potentiate anti-inflammatory bioactivity of probiotic BEVs. Thus, this method holds promise as a scalable alternative for improved BEV purification.
