{Reference Type}: Journal Article {Title}: Purification and Quality Control of Recombinant Proteins Expressed in Mammalian Cells: A Practical Review. {Author}: Lebendiker M; {Journal}: Methods Mol Biol {Volume}: 2810 {Issue}: 0 {Year}: 2024 暂无{DOI}: 10.1007/978-1-0716-3878-1_21 {Abstract}: In the recent years, there has been a rapid development of new technologies and strategies when it comes to protein purification and quality control (QC), but the basic technologies for these processes go back a long way, with many improvements over the past few decades. The purpose of this chapter is to review these approaches, as well as some other topics such as the advantages and disadvantages of various purification methods for intracellular or extracellular proteins, the most effective and widely used genetically engineered affinity tags, solubility-enhancing tags, and specific proteases for removal of nontarget sequences. Affinity chromatography (AC), like Protein A or G resins for the recovery of antibodies or Fc fusion proteins or immobilized metals for the recovery of histidine-tagged proteins, will be discussed along with other conventional chromatography techniques: ion exchange (IEC), hydrophobic exchange (HEC), mixed mode (MMC), size exclusion (SEC), and ultrafiltration (UF) systems. How to select and combine these different technologies for the purification of any given protein and the minimal criteria for QC characterization of the purity, homogeneity, identity, and integrity of the final product will be presented.
