Adsorption and Step Elution of Urokinase Using Affinity Chromatography-Comparison of Data with Rate Model Simulation

A non-equilibrium chromatographic rate model was employed to simulate the affinity chromatography of urokinase. The chromatography process was developed to a yield of high purity product of urokinase from crude materials. The affinity gel used in the process was prepared by an epichlorohydrin-activation method using epichlorohydrin activated Sepharose 4B as a matrix and p-aminobenzamidine as a ligand. The chromatographic process were numerically simulated and analyzed with the aid of VERSE-LC computer simulator. Considering the basic principles, rate model with the back mixing in column inlet was utilized in simulating and studying the effect of the column inlet pattern on other parameters. Comparison of the simulation results with the experimental data showed that the rate model can be used to describe the affinity chromatography of urokinase in a fixed bed column with satisfactory accuracy.

尿激酶亲和层析分离中吸附和洗脱过程的速率模型模拟

采用非平衡层析速率模型,对尿激酶的亲和层析过程进行了模拟计算。利用亲和层析,可以将粗品原料净化为高纯度尿激酶产品;层析所用的亲和载体是采用对氨基苯甲脒作为配基,将琼脂糖凝胶进行活化制得的。通过间歇实验,测定了吸附等温线并进行吸附动力学研究。借助于VERSE-LC模拟软件,采用速率模型作为基本方程,对亲和层析的实验现象进行了数值模拟分析,与实验结果进行对比发现,速率模型可以较准确地描述固定床中的亲和层析过程。
