Streptococcus pneumoniae is a pathogenic encapsulated bacterium, which causes pneumonia, bacteraemia and meningitis. Capsular polysaccharide conjugated to a carrier protein has been widely used as a vaccine antigen. Serotype 23F is one of the prevalent worldwide pneumococci. A simple and efficient method for capsular polysaccharide serotype 23F purification that can easily be scaled-up was developed. This method consisted of using culture broth obtained by tangential microfiltration through a 0.22 mum membrane, broth microfiltrate concentration by tangential ultrafiltration in a 30 kDa spiral membrane, fractional ethanol precipitation (28-60%), nuclease and proteinase treatment, and concentration/diafiltration in a 30 kDa cassette membrane. The final polysaccharide recovery was 89%. The final protein and nucleotide contamination was 1.5% (w/w) and 0.3% (w/w) respectively. The final pure polysaccharide meets the requirements of the World Health Organization and residual proteinase was not found in the final product.
