This study presents a novel triple helix interaction method for purifying pharmaceutical-grade plasmid DNA. This affinity purification technique offers a scalable solution for gene therapy applications.

Area of Science:

  • Biotechnology
  • Molecular Biology
  • Biochemistry

Background:

  • Pharmaceutical-grade plasmid DNA production is critical for gene therapy.
  • Current purification methods face challenges in efficiency and scalability.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop an affinity purification method for plasmid DNA using triple helix interaction.
  • To optimize the method for high purity and potential for large-scale application.

Main Methods:

  • Sequence-specific binding of an immobilized oligonucleotide to a target plasmid sequence.
  • Purification from Escherichia coli lysate using affinity beads under specific pH and salt conditions.
  • Elution with an alkaline buffer and analysis via High-Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC).
