Abstract: The present disclosure provides an effective method for the refolding of denatured proteins in solution so that properly folded, biologically active protein in solution is recovered in high yield. The refolding takes place at pressures between about 0.25 kbar to about 3.5 kbar, advantageously at about 1.5 kbar to about 3 kbar. Typically a chaotropic agent is present at a concentration which is not effective for denaturing protein at atmospheric pressure, and optionally, oxidation-reduction reagents can be incorporated in the refolding solution so that native intramolecular disulfide bonds can be formed where that is desired. The method is applicable to substantially all proteins, especially after solubilization and/or denaturation of insoluble protein aggregates, inclusion bodies, or abnormal oligomeric (soluble) aggregates.

Abstract: A method of recovering a refolded protein involves static mixing a concentrated solution of a denatured protein with a refolding diluent to obtain the refolded protein. The method is particularly suitable for microbially produced recombinant proteins in large processing volumes. The denatured protein solution can be obtained by isolating protein from the microbial host and exposing them to a denaturant. This solution is mixed with a suitable refolding diluent under static mixing conditions compatible with proper folding of the protein so that the refolded protein is obtained, preferably rapidly and with high yield. A system for implementing the refolded protein recovery method includes a static mixer, a conduit inline with and upstream from the static mixer, and an inlet to the conduit upstream of the static mixer, and optionally a dynamic, preferably non-turbulent, mixing vessel downstream from the static mixer.

Abstract: A magnetic core assembly for an ignition coil assembly allows unique exterior shapes to be formed by an outer insulation layer, while speeding up the manufacturing process. Generally, the magnetic core assembly comprises a core of ferromagnetic material and an overmold over the exterior of the core. The overmold generally comprises an insulating layer injection molded over the core. Various structures may be incorporated into the core assembly for injection molding, while a second insulative layer provides additional thermal and electrical insulation.
