Desenvolvimento do processo de purificação da proteína A de superfície de pneumococo do clado 4 (PspA4Pro). / Development of the purification process of pneumococcal surface protein A clade 4 (PspA4Pro).

Figueiredo, Douglas Borges de 23 September 2014 (has links)
A proteína A de superfície de pneumococo (PspA) é encontrada na superfície de todas as cepas de Streptococcus pneumoniae e candidata promissora para novas vacinas pneumocócicas. Foi desenvolvido um processo de purificação da PspA4Pro cujas etapas iniciais foram: ruptura da biomassa celular, precipitação do homogenato obtido com o detergente brometo de cetiltrimetilamônio (CTAB) e remoção do precipitado por centrifugação. Foram avaliadas cromatografias de troca iônica (aniônica, catiônica), afinidade por metais, interação hidrofóbica e mista de troca catiônica e hidrofóbica. Utilizando precipitação com CTAB, cromatografia de troca aniônica, crioprecipitação em pH4,0 e cromatografia de troca catiônica atingiu-se a pureza requerida de PspA4Pro (>95%) com recuperação entre 14% e 33%. O processo alcançou níveis aceitáveis de endotoxina no produto final e a PspA4Pro purificada foi reconhecida por anticorpos anti-PspA4, manteve sua atividade e sua estrutura secundária. / Pneumococcal surface protein A (PspA) is found in all Streptococcus pneumoniae strains and is a promising candidate to be used in new pneumococcal vaccines. A purification process for PspA4Pro which inicial steps were: cell disruption, precipitation of the homogenate with the cationic detergent cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) and pellet removal by centrifugation. The chromatographic techniques tested were ion exchange (anionic and cationic), immobilized metal affinity, hydrophobic interaction and mix mode with hydrophobic and cationic ligands. Using CTAB precipitation, anion exchange chromatography, crioprecipitation in pH4.0 and cation exchange chromatography the PspA reached the required purity (>95%) with recovery between 14% and 33% . The process reached acceptable levels of endotoxin in the final product and the purified PspA4Pro was recognized by anti-PspA4 antibodies and manteined its activity and secondary structure.

Speciation analysis of butyl- and phenyltin compounds in environmental samples by GC separation and atomic spectrometric detection

Nguyen Van, Dong January 2006 (has links)
The main goal of the work presented in this thesis is to improve the reliability of existing methods for speciation analysis of organotin compounds Species-specific isotope dilution (SSID) calibration in combination with gas chromatography – inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry was used to investigate the transformation of phenyltin species during sample preparation. Isotope-enriched phenyltin species were synthesized from corresponding isotope-enriched tin metals. SSID with a mixture of phenyltin species (PhTs) from one isotope was used to evaluate different extraction procedures for the determination of PhTs in fresh water sediment. Preparative liquid chromatography was used to produce single isotope-enriched phenyltin species making a multi-isotope spike (MI) SSID calibration possible. Different extraction procedures for the analysis of phenyltin species in biological samples were evaluated by applying MI-SSID. Degradation of TPhT and DPhT during sample extraction was observed and quantified. Accurate results were therefore obtained. A sample preparation procedure using mild extraction conditions with reasonable recoveries is described. The stability of organotin standards was investigated under different storage conditions. Mono- and diphenyltin were found to be redistributed and degraded during storage in methanol but were stabilized in sodium acetate/ acetic acid. A fast redistribution between monobutyl- and diphenyl tin has been observed and therefore it is therefore recommended that standards be derivatized as soon as possible after butyl- and phenyltin standards are mixed. Included in the thesis is also an investigation of the analytical potential of using instrumentation based on atomic absorption spectrometry (AAS) for speciation analysis of organotin compounds. The method was based on gas chromatographic separation, atomization in a quartz tube and detection by line source (LS) AAS and for comparison, by state of the art continuum source (CS) AAS. Analytical performances of CSAAS system were found to be better compared to LSAAS.
