Aggregation of recombinant bovine granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (rbG-CSF) was examined by the techniques of size exclusion chromatography (SEC), multiangle laser light scattering (MALS), and SDS-PAGE. Solutions of rbG-CSF in different buffers and pH were exposed to an elevated temperature of 50degreesC to induce aggregation. The formation of noncovalent soluble aggregates with molecular weight in the millions of Daltons was observed when a solution of rbG-CSF at pH 2.9 was exposed to 50degreesC. Precipitated protein was the main product of rbG-CSF aggregation in citrate and phosphate buffers at a pH greater than 4. It was demonstrated that precipitant was a mixture of covalent and noncovalent aggregates. The ratio of covalent to noncovalent binding increased with increase in pH of the protein solution. The covalent binding that occurred was primarily due to disulfide linkages via intermolecular disulfide scrambling as demonstrated by SDS-PAGE.
