… μL. 2.2.8.3. Endotoxins. Endotoxin contamination was assessed by using the
ToxiSensorTM Chromogenic Limulus Amebocyte Lysate (LAL) Endotoxin Assay
Kit (GenScript, USA, Inc.), according to the supplier's protocol. The …
Influenza virus is a huge financial and social burden for health care systems over the world. Currently, traditional
approaches are not effective in the fight of the epidemy and new alternatives like DNA vaccines have been
developed. However, the downstream process of DNA vaccines is a constant challenge in the biotechnology
industry. Cryogels has several advantages over traditional supports and have been tested as stationary phase in
chromatographic separations. In this work, a method based on poly(2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate) cryogel was
used to purify the plasmid NTC7482-41H-VA2 HA, which express the Influenza hemagglutinin gene. For this
purpose, the cryogel was synthesized by cryo-polymerization of 2-hydro... More

purpose, the cryogel was synthesized by cryo-polymerization of 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate and characterized
by scanning electron microscopy. The purification of supercoiled isoform of the plasmid NTC7482-41H-VA2 HA
from a clarified lysate sample was achieved in a two-step experiment using NaCl and the dynamic binding
capacity of pHEMA cryogel was determined. The assessment of DNA vaccine allowed to conclude that the level
of contaminants such as proteins, genomic DNA, RNA and endotoxins are in accordance with FDA agency
