Abstract

Methods for generating F(ab')2 fragments from antibodies using thermolysin as well as F(ab')2 fragments and compositions comprising F(ab')2 fragments generated by the method are described.

Claims (20)

1. A method of separating an F(ab')2 portion of an antibody from a non-F(ab')2 portion of an antibody comprising:
(a) contacting at least one antibody with thermolysin, under temperature and pH
conditions effective to cleave the F(ab')2 fragment from the non-F(ab')2 portion of the antibody; and (b) isolating the F(ab')2 fragment generated in step (a) from the non-F(ab')2 portion.
2. The method of claim 1, wherein the antibody is an immunoglobulin.
3. The method of claim 2, wherein the immunoglobulin is an IgG.
4. The method of claim 3, wherein the IgG is IgG1 or IgG2.
5. The method of claim 1, wherein the temperature condition of step (a) is from about 23°C to about 65°C.
6. The method of claim 1, wherein the temperature condition of step (a) is from about 42°C to about 65°C.
7. The method of claim 1, wherein the temperature condition of step (a) is from about 50°C to about 65°C.
8. The method of claim 1, wherein the temperature condition of step (a) is about 55°C.
9. The method of claim 1, wherein the pH condition of step (a) comprises an acidic solution.
10. The method of claim 9, wherein the acidic solution has a pH of about 2.0 to about 6.9.
11. The method of claim 9, wherein the acidic solution has a pH of about 3.0 to about 6Ø
12. The method of claim 9, wherein the acidic solution has a pH of about 4.0 to about 5.5.
13. The method of claim 9, wherein the acidic solution has a pH of about 4.0 to about 5Ø
14. An F(ab')2 fragment produced by the method of claim 1.
15. The F(ab')2 fragment of claim 14, further comprising a second agent.
16. The F(ab')2 fragment of claim 15, wherein the second agent is a polymer.
17. The F(ab')2 fragment of claim 16, wherein the polymer is polyethylene glycol (PEG).
18. The F(ab')2 fragment of claim 14, wherein the second agent is a therapeutic agent.
19. A composition comprising the F(ab')2 fragment of claim 14 or claim 15 and a pharmaceutically acceptable vehicle, carrier, or diluent.
20. A method of generating an F(ab')2 portion of an antibody comprising the steps of:
(a) contacting an acidic solution comprising an antibody with an effective amount of thermolysin, for a time and at a temperature effective to cleave the F(ab')2 fragment from the non-F(ab')2 portion of the antibody; and (b) isolating the F(ab')2 fragment generated in step (a) from the non-F(ab')2 components of the acidic solution.
