An efficient scheme for purification of a novel recombinant immunotoxin, rCCK8PE38, for anti-tumour experiments.
Biomedical Chromatography : BMC 2018 June
rCCK8PE38 is a novel immunotoxin that targets choleystokinin B receptor, which is over-expressed in some tumor tissues. Although we constructed a prokaryotic expression vector to express rCCK8PE38 in our laboratory, thorough purification was necessary to quantitatively assess its anti-tumor effect. In this study, we established a purification protocol to obtain rCCK8PE38 with high purity from E. coli. Three different types of chromatography, hydrophobic chromatography, ion exchange chromatography and size exclusion chromatography, were used in combination. The purification technological parameters of each chromatography type were optimized. The whole process of purification was arranged to minimize the purification steps and achieve purity and bioactivity. Finally, through this optimized scheme, we obtained a recombinant protein with a purity of >95%; then, the protein was stored at -80°C after lyophilization. The purified protein was used in a tumor inhibition experiment and was effective in killing tumor cells that over-expressed choleystokinin B receptor. The results of this study may provide some valuable information about protein purification and lay the foundation for further clinical experiments with rCCK8PE38.
