  • Patent number: 7601515
    Abstract: A process is provided for the preparation of albumin from a yeast culture medium which has extremely low levels of or is essentially free of colorants, metal ions, human proteins, host proteins, fragments of albumin, polymers or aggregates of albumin and viruses, and which is essentially non-glycated, relatively high in free thiol and with an intact C-terminus. The process comprises separating the yeast from the culture medium to yield an albumin solution; subjecting the albumin solution to positive mode cation exchange, affinity, and positive mode anion exchange chromatography; and concentrating and formulating the albumin with sodium octanoate and sodium chloride.

The process comprises passing albumin (preferably expressed and secreted by transformed yeast) through positive mode cation exchange and then positive mode anion exchange chromatography. Other steps may also be employed, for example ultrafiltration, gel permeation chromatography, affinity chromatography binding the albumin and affinity chromatography binding contaminants. Elution of albumin, with a compound having affinity for albumin, from a material having no specific affinity for albumin is also disclosed, as is removal of ammonium ions with a counter-ion.
