Abstract

The present invention belongs to the field of biotechnology, and specifically relates to recombinant gene expression. The invention concerns a method of recombinant gene expression from a Chinese Hamster Ovary (CHO) cell, by using super-enhancer sequences for increased gene expression. Thus, the invention provides a method for producing an engineered CHO cell by introducing into the cell an exogenous nucleic acid molecule into or within 500 kb upstream or downstream of a super-enhancer as expression-enhancing sequence. The invention further provides an engineered CHO cell produced by the method. The invention further provides a method of producing a recombinant polypeptide. The invention is further directed to the use of a super-enhancer for transgene expression.

Abstract

The present invention relates to a process for spray-freeze-drying (SFD) a dispersion of polyelectrolyte complex (PEC) nanoparticles loaded with a protein drug, which yields a powdered product with adequate flowability properties that may readily be processed further into solid dosage forms such as tablets or capsules. The mean particle size of PEC nanoparticles obtained after redispersion of SFD powder or pharmaceutical compositions made from said powder in water is preserved in the nanometer range (< 1000 nm), and so is the protein biological activity.

Abstract

The present invention provides a very simple, efficient and economic technology for racemisation of amines, alcohols or thioalcohols where the chiral carbon (benzylic position) is located at the β-position of the heteroatom (amino, hydroxyl or mercapto group) or even more distant therefrom. Special focus is oriented in efficient and simple racemisation of an undesired enantiomer of a chiral pharmaceutically active ingredient, preferably lorcaserin or a salt thereof, preferably the hydrochloride salt thereof. The approach according to the invention enables a use of cheaper and shorter racemic synthetic schemes not requiring expensive and toxic reagents and catalysts. Present methodology enables industrialy convenient process.

Abstract

The invention relates to a process for purification of teicoplanin, in particular to a process for an efficient removal of impurities by means of adsorption of particular dissolved components from the filtrate of fermentation broth of Actinoplanes teichomyceticus culture on commercial hydrophobic or slightly polar adsorbent resins with further selective elution of the product from the resin. According to the invention, the process involves the use of a mixture of a watermiscible organic solvent in an aqueous solution at various steps of the purification process, such as in the above mentioned elution step and/or in an ultrafiltration step on membranes with a cut-off of 3-100kDa. The process further involves treating a teicoplanin solution with charcoal, e.g. after elution and before ultrafiltration. Preferably, the water-miscible organic solvent is selected from the group consisting of C1-C4 alcohols, C3-C4 ketones or C2-C4 nitrites.

The present invention relates to a method of controlling quality and quantity of posttranslational modification of a recombinantly produced polypeptide/protein (glycoprotein), wherein the posttranslational modification affects the glycosylation profile and/or the acidic variants profile, as manifested in CEX profiles, wherein the polypeptide/protein (glycoprotein) production is in eukaryotic host cells, the method comprising the following steps: a) cultivating the eukaryotic cells in a suitable medium under conditions which allow the expression of the polypeptide/protein, wherein the content of the dissolved CO2 (pCO2) in the medium is at a first value during the initial growth phase of the eukaryotic cells, allowing the eukaryotic cells to grow, and b) increasing or decreasing the content of the dissolved CO2 (pCO2) in the medium during the production phase of the eukaryotic cells to a second value.
