ヒト化抗hTfR抗体-hIDUAを取得するために,ヒト化抗hTfR抗体-hIDUA発現株を以下の方法で培養した。実施例2で得たヒト化抗hTfR抗体-hIDUA発現株を,細胞密度が約3 X 105個/mLとなるように,10 mg/L インスリン,16 μmol/L チミジン,100 μmol/L ヒポキサンチンを含有する,pH 6.9に調整した約170 Lの無血清培地(CD OPTI-CHOTM培地,ThermoFisher SCIENTIFIC社)に懸濁させた。この細胞懸濁液170 Lを培養槽に移した。培地をインペラ―で概ね80~100 rpmの速度で撹拌し,培地の溶存酸素飽和度を約30%に保持し,34~37oCの温度範囲で,約10日間細胞を培養した。培養期間中,細胞密度,細胞の生存率,培地のグルコース濃度及び乳酸濃度を監視した。培地のグルコース濃度が3.0 g/L以下となった場合には,直ちにグルコース濃度が3.5 g/Lとなるように,グルコース溶液を培地に添加した。培養期間中,フィード液(EFFICIENTFEED A+ TM,ThermoFisher SCIENTIFIC社)を適宜培地に添加した。培養終了後に培地を回収した。回収した培地を,MILLISTAK+HC TM Pod Filter grade D0HC(Merck社)でろ過し,更にMILLISTAK+ TM HCgrade X0HC (Merck社)でろ過して,ヒト化抗hTfR抗体-hIDUAを含む培養上清を得た。この培養上清を,PELLICONTM 3 Cassette w/Ultracel PLCTK Membrane(孔径:30 kDa, 膜面積:1.14 m2,Merck社)を用いて限外ろ過し,液量が約14分の1となるまで濃縮した。次いで,この濃縮液をOPTICAPTM XL600(0.22 μm, Merck社)を用いてろ過した。得られた液を濃縮培養上清とした。
実施例3で得た濃縮培養上清に,0.25倍容の2 M アルギニン溶液(pH 7.0)を添加した。この溶液を,カラム体積の4倍容の400 mM アルギニンを含有する25 mM MES緩衝液(pH 6.5)で平衡化した,CAPTURE SELECTTM CH1-XLカラム(カラム体積:約3.1 L,ベッド高:約20 cm,Thermo Fisher Scientific社)に,100 cm/時の一定流速で負荷し,ヒト化抗hTfR抗体-hIDUAをカラムに吸着させた。CAPTURE SELECTTM CH1-XLカラムは,IgG抗体のCH1ドメインと特異的に結合する性質を有するリガンドが担体に固定化されたアフィニティーカラムである。
水性医薬組成物には,主剤である蛋白質の安定性を高めるために,あるいは当該蛋白質の容器への吸着を防止するため,非イオン性界面活性剤が添加されることが多く,例えば,成長ホルモンでは,非イオン性界面活性剤としてポロキサマー188が添加されている水性医薬組成物がある。そこで,ヒト化抗hTfR抗体-hIDUAを含有する水性医薬組成物について,ポロキサマー188を添加することによる蛋白質の安定性への影響を調べるため,以下の検討を実施した。
また,非イオン性界面活性剤が添加された水性医薬組成物としては,例えば,ダルベポエチン及びアガルシダーゼでは,非イオン性界面活性剤としてポリソルベート80が添加されている水性医薬組成物がある。そこで,ヒト化抗hTfR抗体-hIDUAを含有する水性医薬組成物について,ポリソルベート80を添加することによる蛋白質の安定性への影響を調べるため,以下の検討を実施した。
実施例4で得たヒト化抗hTfR抗体-hIDUA精製品を用いて,塩化ナトリウム,クエン酸緩衝剤,スクロース,ポロキサマー188,ポリソルベート80,及びヒト化抗hTfR抗体-hIDUAを含有し,ポリソルベート80の濃度のみが異なる表5に示す5種類の水性医薬組成物を調製した。これら5種類の水性医薬組成物(処方J~N)を,それぞれ2 mLずつガラスバイアルに充填し,密封して,振盪機(SR-2S,タイテック社)を用いて,室温で,連続して24時間振盪させた(振盪速度:240往復/分,振幅:40 mm)。振盪後の水性医薬組成物中に含まれる単位液量(200 μL)当たりの粒子数(粒径:1~100 μm)を,実施例8に記載の方法で測定した。また,振盪後の水性医薬組成物中に含まれるヒト化抗hTfR抗体-hIDUAの重合体の含有率を,実施例9に記載の方法で測定した。更に,各水性医薬組成物中に含まれるヒト化抗hTfR抗体-hIDUAの分解物の含有率を,実施例10に記載の方法で測定した。
水性医薬組成物中に含まれる粒子数の測定は,フローイメージング粒子解析装置であるFLOWCAMTM(フルイド・イメージング・テクノロジーズ社)を用いて行った。フローイメージング粒子解析装置は,サンプル溶液をシリンジポンプによって光学系と直交するフローセルに引き込み,フローセル中を通過する粒子をリアルタイムで撮影することにより,サンプル溶液中に含まれる粒子数を測定することのできる装置である。測定は,検出すべき粒子サイズを1~100 μmに設定して行った。
