Effect of ion-exchange chromatography on removal of fibronectin in von Willebrand factor / 中国输血杂志

ABSTRACT

【Objective】 To study the removal effect of fibronectin(Fn) from von willebrand factor(vWF) by ion-exchange chromatography through processing human coagulation factor Ⅷ chromatographic washing products, in order to select a method that can effectively reduce Fn without compromising the activity yield. 【Methods】 In a multi-batch process development experiment, Fractogel® EMD TMAE(M) strong anion filler produced by Merck(Germany) was used to conduct chromatography to investigate vWF ristomycins titer (vWF RCof), vWF recovery, protein content and Fn content. 【Results】 During the development of vWF pilot purification process, the content of Fn in the samples can be effectively reduced by ion-exchange chromatography, with removal rate more than 87%, titer recovery of vWF more than 80%, and no significant change in other quality indexes. 【Conclusion】 The use of ion-exchange chromatography to purify vWF can effectively reduce the content of Fn, which has positive significance for developing new product process and improving the product quality of blood products manufacturers.
