Abstract
It is known that a six amino acid epitope of p69, a membrane protein of Bordetella pertussis, is involved in protection against whooping cough. Chimeric particles were obtained when a thirty amino acid peptide containing the epitope was genetically fused to the hepatitis B virus core antigen and expressed in yeast. The particles were purified by extracting the centrifuged yeast homogenate in a two-phase system composed of PEG 1450 and K phosphate. In this first step, a ten times enrichment was obtained with a total recovery of 45% of the particles. Ninety percent of these were found in the PEG phase. PEG was removed by diafiltration through a YM 100 Amicon membrane with simultaneous concentration of the particles. Gel filtration through a Trisacryl GF 2000 column achieved a good purification and an homogenous preparation as shown by electron microscopy. Immunoaffinity as an alternative to two-phase partitioning will be discussed as well as the advantages of the described protocol for large scale purification of particles.
