Toxicity of high-dose IL-2-based therapies have motivated the development of the IL-2 mutein, which has low expansion properties for regulatory T lymphocytes. The development of two variants (A and B) for the IL-2 mutein purification as well as a conformational comparative study by Circular dichroism (CD) and fluorescence spectroscopy of these products were evaluated. For the first time, in our center, were used of DTT and 2% SDS in the solubilization step to decrease the aggregates on intermediate product, which favors that disulfide bridges are correctly formed during re-folding.
