Abstract  Ciliary neurotrophic factor (CNTF) can promote the survival and differentiation of motor neurons and is a potential therapeutic for treating neurodegeneration and nerve injury. Recent research finds it also has great potential as a diet reducing aid. In order to develop its site-specific modified long-acting counterpart, a new human CNTF mutant with a free cystine (CNTF-C17) expressed in soluble form by E.coli has been purified and featured. By combining three different chromatographic steps including hydrophobic interaction chromatography, ion exchange chromatography and affinity chromatography, CNTF-C17 was efficiently separated from bacterial contaminants with a purification factor of 11.4 and a recovery of 35.5%. The purity of target protein reached 98% determined by RP-HPLC. Although this new mutant has a free cysteine, it was found to exist only in monomer form, judged from the elution volume in HP-SEC. CD and FL spectra showed correct secondary and tertiary structure of the purified protein. The molecular weight of this new mutant was 21146 Da, consistent with its theoretical value. Its specific bioactivity was 2.1 ×106 U/mg determined by Tf-1 cell activity detection method. All these data and results laid a foundation for the large production and application of this new CNTF mutant.
