1.Progress in analysis of host residual proteins in biological products
Chinese Journal of Biologicals 2025;38(03):373-378+383
Host cell proteins(HCPs) of biological products are endogenous host proteins expressed by host cells or produced when they die during the production of biological products. Incomplete elimination of HCPs is the main factor causing allergy or other adverse reactions. The analytical methods for HCPs mainly include SDS-PAGE, Western blot(WB), two-dimensional gel electrophoresis(2DE), ELISA, liquid chromatography, mass spectrometry and so on. Electrophoresis can provide qualitative and semi-quantitative determination for proteins, but the resolution and accuracy are low. ELISA has good reproducibility and high sensitivity, and is most widely used at present. Chromatography and mass spectrometry have high separation and resolution as well as accurate quantification, but high application cost. ELISA was used to determine HCPs in recombinant biological products in the general rules <3412>, <3413> and <3414> of Chinese Pharmacopoeia(Volume Ⅲ, 2020 edition)and United States Pharmacopoeia(USP) <1132>. Analysis of HCPs components is helpful to improve the coverage of antiHCPs antibody and the sensitivity and specificity of detection methods. Traditional analytical methods can only qualitatively analyze HCPs, but cannot perform quantitative determination and characterization. Based on electrophoresis technology and mass spectrometry technology, combined with the development trend of HCPs component analysis at home and abroad, this paper summarizes the relevant HCPs analysis method to provide a reference for the verification of HCPs in the research and production process of biological products.

Objective To explore the effect of low-dose ketamine combined with propofol anesthesia on expres?sion of glutamine receptor subunit 1 (GluR1) and 2 (GluR2) in the hippocampus of depressed rats after electroconvulsive therapy. Methods Healthy adult male Sprague-Dawley rats, weighing 200~250 g, were used in this study. Mental depres?sion was induced by chronic unpredictable mild stress. Thirty-two depressed rats were randomly divided into 4 groups (n=8): metal depression group (group A), ECT group (group B), ECT+propofol group (group C) and ECT+propofol+ket?amine group (group D). Eight normal rats served as control group. Control group received no treatment. Group A received intraperitoneal injection of normal saline 8 mL/kg plus sham ECT. Group B, C and D received ECT once a day for 7 con?secutive days following intraperitoneal injection of normal saline 8 mL/kg, propofol 80 mg/kg and propofol 80 mg/kg +ketamine 10mg/kg, respectively. Sucrose preference test and Morris water maze were performed to assess depressed be?havior and learning and memory function, respectively. RT-PCR and Western-blot assay were used to detect the expres?sion of GluR1 , GluR2 and their mRNA expression. Results After ECT, compared with control group and group A, changes of SPP in group B, C and D were obvious. The change of SPP in group D was much higher than all other groups (P<0.05). Rats in group B showed prolonged escape latency and shortened space exploration time, which were significantly different from all other groups (P<0.05). Rats in group D showed the most shortened escape latency and prolonged space exploration time (P<0.05). The expression of GluR1 was significantly increased in group B, C and D compared with group A (P<0.05). The expression of GluR2 and mRNA was significantly decreased in group B and C (P<0.05). The difference in GluR2 and mRNA expression was not significant among group A, D and control group (P>0.05). Conclusion Low-dose ketamine combined with propofol anesthesia exert effective antidepressive action and improve learning and memory function of depressed rats after electroconvulsive therapy. The beneficial effects of the ketamine combined with propofol anesthesia may be related to up-regulation expression of GluR1 and GluR2 in hippocampus.

Objective To investigate the expressions of fatty acid-binding protein 5 (FABP5)and dihydroli-poamide dehydrogenase(DLD)in skin lesions of symmetrical acrokeratoderma(SAK), and to explore their significance. Methods Biopsy specimens were obtained from skin lesions on the wrists and perilesional skin of 9 patients with SAK, and from normal skin in the wrists of 9 healthy volunteers (control group). Reverse transcription PCR (RT-PCR)and immunohistochemical staining were performed to measure the expressions of FABP5 and DLD in these specimens. Results RT-PCR showed no significant differences in the mRNA expressions of FABP5 or DLD between lesional, perilesional and normal control skin specimens(both P > 0.05). Immunohistochemically, there was a significant increase in the extent and intensity of staining for FABP5 in SAK lesions. Concretely speaking, FABP5 was strongly expressed in the stratum corneum, granular and spinous layers in SAK lesions, but weakly expressed in the stratum corneum, granular and spinous layers in perilesional skin, and only in spinous and basal layers in normal control skin. The expression of DLD decreased in SAK lesions, and was observed only in the stratum corneum and spinous layer in a few cases of SAK. However, the full-thickness epidermis stained positive for DLD in perilesional skin, with the nuclei and cytoplasm both stained deep brown. Conclusion The overexpression of FABP5 in SAK lesions may participate in dysdifferentiation of keratinocytes, while the down-regulation of DLD expression suggests an imbalance in energy metabolism.

Objective :
To evaluate the safety and immunogenicity of a split-virion quadrivalent influenza vaccine.
Methods :
The healthy people aged three years or over in Wuyang County and Xiping County of Henan Province were divided into the experimental group, control group 1 and control group 2, and were vaccinated with split-virion quadrivalent influenza vaccines, split-virion trivalent influenza vaccines (without B/Victoria) and a split-virion trivalent influenza vaccines (without B/Yamagata) , respectively. The hemagglutination inhibition (HI) antibodies were detected before and after immunization. The incidence rate of adverse events following immunization (AEFI) , HI antibody positive conversion rate, the protection rate of HI antibodies and the growth of geometric mean titer (GMT) were calculated and compared with the standard of Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
Results:
Totally 2 924 people were recruited, with 975 in the experimental group, 974 in the control group 1 and 975 in control group 2. The incidence rate of AEFI in the experimental group was 11.7%, higher than 7.9% in control group 1 and 8.8% in control group 2 (P < 0.05) during 30 minutes and 8 days after inoculation. The positive conversion rates of HI antibodies of H1N1, H3N2, By and Bv in the experimental group were 78.5%, 53.3%, 78.3% and 62.9%, respectively. The rate differences of the positive conversion rates of HI antibodies of By between the experimental group and control group 2, and of Bv between the experimental group and control group 1 were 42.1% (95%CI: 38.0%-46.2%) and 33.2% (95%CI: 28.9%-37.5%) , with both lower limits of 95%CI more than -0.10. The GMT increase of HI antibodies was more than 2.5 times in the three groups. The protective rates of HI antibodies of H1N1, H3N2, By and Bv in the experimental group were 87.7%, 98.7%, 93.6% and 77.2%, respectively. The protective rates of HI antibodies of By in control group 2 and Bv in control group 1 were 71.1% and 51.0%, both lower than those in the experimental group (P < 0.05).
Conclusions
After the inoculation of the quadrivalent influenza vaccine, the positive conversion rates (>40%) , protection rates (>70%) and GMT increase (>2.5 times) of HI antibodies of H1N1, H3N2, By and Bv all meet the quality standards of FDA. The safety and immunogenicity of the quadrivalent influenza vaccine are not inferior to those of the trivalent influenza vaccine.
