Artigo IPEN-doc 24236 Determination of recombinant Interferon-α2 in E. coli periplasmic extracts by reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography2018 - DIAS, PAULO V.S.; ARTHUSO, FERNANDA S.; OLIVEIRA, JOAO E.; SUZUKI, MIRIAM F.; SOUSA, JOSE M.; RIBELA, MARIA T.C.P.; BARTOLINI, PAOLO; SOARES, CARLOS R.J.Reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography (RP-HPLC) has been used to analyze Interferon α-2 (IFN-α2) as a pure protein or as a pharmaceutical preparation: a method for analyzing periplasmic IFN-α2 directly in osmotic shock extract has, however, never been reported. This work describes an RP-HPLC methodology for the qualitative and quantitative analysis of human IFN-α2a and IFN-α2b directly in bacterial periplasmic extracts or in purified preparations. The analytical method has been set up and validated for accuracy, precision, linearity, sensitivity and specificity. A recovery test indicated an average bias of ∼1%, intra-day and inter-day quantitative determinations presented relative standard deviations always ≤ 5%, while the working sensitivity was of ∼0.3 μg of IFN-α2 (RSD =5%). The method proved to be suitable for detecting and quantifying also glycosylated and oxidized forms and N-methionylated IFN-α2 molecules, it was, however, not able to distinguish between IFN-α2a and IFN-α2b. This rapid methodology allows the application of RP-HPLC as a powerful tool to monitor the production yield and quality of IFN-α2 in osmotic shock fluids, right after, or even during the fermentation process.
