Nucleocapsid (N) protein of Nipah virus (NiV) is a potential serological marker used in the diagnosis of NiV infections. In this study, a rapid and efficient purification system, HisTrap 6 Fast Flow packed bed column was applied to purify recombinant histidine-tagged N protein of NiV from clarified feedstock. The optimizations of binding and elution conditions of N protein of NiV onto and from Nickel Sepharose 6 Fast Flow were investigated. The optimal binding was achieved at pH 7.5, superficial velocity of 1.25 cm/min. The bound N protein was successfully recovered by a stepwise elution with different concentration of imidazole (50, 150, 300 and 500 mM). The N protein of NiV was captured and eluted from an inlet N protein concentration of 0.4 mg/ml in a scale-up immobilized metal affinity chromatography (IMAC) packed bed column of Nickel Sepharose 6 Fast Flow with the optimized condition obtained from the method scouting. The purification of histidine-tagged N protein using IMAC packed bed column has resulted a 68.3% yield and a purification factor of 7.94.
尼帕病毒(NiV)的核衣壳(N)蛋白是用于诊断NiV感染的一种潜在血清学标志物。在本研究中,应用HisTrap 6 Fast Flow填充床柱这一快速高效的纯化系统,从澄清的原料中纯化NiV的重组组氨酸标签N蛋白。研究了NiV的N蛋白与镍琼脂糖6 Fast Flow结合及洗脱条件的优化。在pH 7.5、表面流速1.25 cm/min时实现了最佳结合。通过用不同浓度(50、150、300和500 mM)的咪唑进行分步洗脱,成功回收了结合的N蛋白。在扩大规模的镍琼脂糖6 Fast Flow固定化金属亲和色谱(IMAC)填充床柱中,按照方法探索获得的优化条件,从0.4 mg/ml的入口N蛋白浓度中捕获并洗脱NiV的N蛋白。使用IMAC填充床柱纯化组氨酸标签N蛋白的产率为68.3%,纯化倍数为7.94。
