β¦ Synopsis
The interest in purifying injectable-grade plasmid DNA has increased with the development of gene therapy and DNA vaccination technologies. In this paper we develop a method for purifying a 4.8 kb plasmid based on chromatographic processes. An NaCl gradient was optimized on a Q Sepharose 1 column and plasmid was eluted at 800-820 mM NaCl in a broad peak. Supercoiled plasmid was isolated after a final Sepharcryl S1000 SF 1 gel filtration step. Final plasmid preparation was depleted of proteins and RNA, as revealed by the BCA assay and 1% agarose gel electrophoresis.
