SummaryNine human antibodies to factor VIII were isolated from haemophilic plasmas by affinity chromatography and gel filtration and six were subsequently subjected to immunological characterization. Three partially purified preparations were similarly characterized. Eight of the antibodies were characterized as being exclusively IgG and one preparation was found to contain IgM. Seven of the antibodies contained only a single light chain type, four being of type lambda and three of type kappa. Two antibody preparations contained both kappa and lambda light chains. In four of the preparations, only a single heavy chain sub-class could be demonstrated, three of IgG3 and one of IgG4. Of the remainder, three were a mixture of IgG3 and IgG4 sub-classes and one contained both IgG2 and IgG4. IgG sub-classification could not be achieved with the IgM-containing preparation. These results demonstrate a restricted heterogeneity of light and heavy chains in human antibodies to factor VIII.

The SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus expresses two essential proteases: firstly, the 3Chymotrypsin-like protease (3CLpro) or main protease (Mpro), and secondly, the papain-like protease (PLpro), both of which are considered as viable drug targets for the inhibition of viral replication. In order to perform drug discovery assays for SARS-CoV-2, it is imperative that efficient methods are established for the production and purification of 3CLpro and PLpro of SARS-CoV-2, designated as 3CLpro-CoV2 and PLpro-CoV2, respectively. This article expands the data collected in the attempts to express SARS-CoV-2 proteases under different conditions and purify them under single-step chromatography. Data showed that the use of E. coli BL21(DE3) strain was sufficient to express 3CLpro-CoV2 in a fully soluble form. Nevertheless, the single affinity chromatography step was only applicable for 3CLpro-CoV2 expressed at 18 °C, with a yield and purification fold of 92% and 49, respectively. Meanwhile, PLpro-CoV2 was successfully expressed in a fully soluble form in either BL21(DE3) or BL21-CodonPlus(DE3) strains. In contrast, the single affinity chromatography step was only applicable for PLpro-CoV2 expressed using E. coli BL21-CodonPlus(DE3) at 18 or 37 °C, with a yield and purification fold of 86% (18 °C) or 83.36% (37 °C) and 112 (18 °C) or 71 (37 °C), respectively. The findings provide a guide for optimizing the production of SARS-CoV-2 proteases of E. coli host cells.

SummaryFactor VIII, purified by gel filtration on Sepharose 2B, has an 8 band multiple subunit structure, with molecular weights ranging from 30,000 to 230,000, on reduction and SDS-PAGE at a protein concentration of 400 μg/gel. Affinity chromatography of this factor VIII preparation with insolubilized haemophilic antibody to factor VIII showed that 45-81% VIII:C and 0-33% VIILRag were attached to the column. Elution of the column with 0.25 M CaCl2 did not show VIII:C or VIILRag in the eluate. NH4SCN dissociation of the column, followed by reduction and SDS-PAGE of the dissociated protein, showed that 95 % of the protein bound by haemophilic antibody had a molecular weight similar to the low molecular weight subunits of the reduced factor VIII.In control experiments with normal Human IgG, 3% of VIII:C and 5% of VIILRag were attached to the column. NH4SCN dissociation of the column, followed by reduction and SDS-PAGE of the protein, showed 2 faint bands with molecular weight consistent with heavy and light chains of IgG.Similar experiments with antibody to factor VIII showed that 67-83% of VIILC and 61-76% of VIII:Rag were attached to the column. Elution of the column with 0.25 M CaCl2 showed 10% of the applied VIII:C, but no VIII:Rag in the eluate. NH4SCN dissociation of the column, followed by reduction and SDS-PAGE of the dissociated protein, showed an 8 band subunit structure similar to the reduced factor VIII.

Treatment of bleeding in von Willebrand's disease usually consists of the infusion of cryoprecipitate or plasma. DDAVP is effective in some patients. Commercial concentrates for the treatment of Hemophilia A are ineffective as a source of von Willebrand Factor (vWF) replacement in von Willibrand's disease presumedly because of the absence of higher molecular weight forms of vWF protein. A vWF concentrate obtained during the course of preparation of an affinity purified Factor VIII may provide an alternative therapeutic agent without impacting the available Factor VIII supplies. The process used for the preparation of a highly purified Factor VIII concentrate (MonoclateTM, Armour Pharmaceutical Co.) from cryoprecipitate includes an affinity chromatography step which separates vWF/Factor VIII complex from other proteins in cryoprecipitate using an anti-vWF monoclonal antibody (C. A. Fulcher & T. S. Zimmerman, 1982). Factor VIII is then dissociated from the vWF remaining on the column and is eluted immediately by 3M sodium thiocyanante (NaSCN) as a step in the regeneration of the column. Unless the NaSCN is rapidly removed from the elutriant, the vWF activity as measured by platelet agglutination is destroyed. We have taken the NaSCN eluate and processed it immediately over an in-line G-10 or G-25 Sephadex column which removes the NaSCN while the vWF is eluted with a buffered isotonic solution. Alternatively, the vWF has been precipitated from the NaSCN by ammonium sulfate or polyethylene glycol. VWF prepared by any of these methods retains platelet agglutinating activity and has a distribution of vWF multimers similar to those of vWF in normal plasma.The potency of vWF prepared from cryoprecipitate by this process is 20 units/ml and the specific activity is 20 units/mg. In several fractionations of kilogram amounts of cryoprecipitate, vWF was isolated and subjected to lyophilization and heating at 68° for 30 hours without loss of bioactivity. Drug development in progress suggest that the combined effect of affinity chromatography and exposure to NaSCN may negate the need for a heating procedure to reduce the risk of viral transmittance.
