Description:
METHODS FOR PRODUCING RECOMBINANT PROTEINS CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATION This applications claims priority to U.S. Provisional Patent Application Serial No. 62/914,223, filed October 11, 2019, the entire contents of which are herein incorporated by reference. TECHNICAL FIELD This disclosure relates to methods of biotechnology and the manufacturing of recombinant proteins. BACKGROUND Recombinant bacteria are used in many biotechnology protocols, including the production of recombinant proteins. Recombinant proteins are often used in the preparation of new therapeutic drug products. Current methods for producing recombinant proteins use glucose as a carbon source. Overfeeding with glucose activates the glucose overflow system (crabtree effect) that changes the metabolic pathway of the carbon source in the recombinant bacterium to favor acetate production, which correlates with growth rate reduction. Moreover, current methods for producing recombinant proteins require a tightly controlled pH control limit that can influence production of protein of acceptable quality when outside the pH control limit. Thus, the current methods for producing recombinant proteins possess limitations which the present invention solves. SUMMARY The present invention is based, at least in part, on the discovery that culturing recombinant bacteria in a liquid culture medium including about 0.1 g/L to about 10.0 g/L glycerol as the carbon source results in the production or secretion of similar or greater amount of recombinant protein as compared to culturing the recombinant bacteria in a liquid culture medium including glucose as the carbon source. In view of this discovery, provided herein are methods of producing a recombinant protein that include: providing a recombinant bacterium including a nucleic acid encoding a recombinant protein; and culturing the recombinant bacterium in a liquid culture medium that includes about 0.1 g/L to 10.0 g/L glycerol under conditions sufficient for the production and release of a recombinant protein into the liquid culture medium, where liquid culture medium is substantially free of a saccharide. The present invention is also based, at least in part, on the discovery that culturing recombinant bacteria in a liquid culture medium where the pH of the liquid culture medium is about 6.8 to about 7.5 during a growth phase and the pH of the liquid culture medium is about 6.0 to about 6.75 during a protein production phase results in the production of a greater amount of recombinant protein as compared to culturing the recombinant bacteria in a liquid culture medium using a single pH control limit throughout the culture process. In view of this discovery, provided herein are methods of producing a recombinant protein that include: providing a recombinant bacterium including a nucleic acid encoding a recombinant protein; and culturing the recombinant bacterium in a liquid culture medium under conditions sufficient for the production and release of a recombinant protein into the culture medium, where the pH of the liquid culture medium is about 6.8 to about 7.5 during a growth phase and the pH of the liquid culture medium is about 6.0 to about 6.75 during a protein production phase.

The term “polishing,” as used herein, refers to a step performed to remove remaining trace or small amounts of contaminants or impurities from a fluid containing a recombinant protein that is close to a final desired purity. In a non-limiting example, polishing is performed by passing a fluid containing the recombinant protein through a chromatographic column(s) or a membrane absorber(s) that selectively binds to either the recombinant protein or small amounts of contaminants or impurities present in a fluid containing the recombinant protein. In such an example, the eluate/filtrate of the chromatographic column(s) or the membrane absorber(s) contains the recombinant protein. The term “filtering,” as used herein, refers to the removal of at least part of undesired biological contaminants (e.g., yeast cells, viruses, or bacteria) and/or particulate matter (e.g., precipitated proteins) from a liquid (e.g., a liquid culture medium or other fluid).

In some embodiments, the extracellular space is a liquid culture medium. Skilled practitioners will appreciate that a “secreted” protein need not dissociate entirely from the bacterium outer membrane to be considered a secreted protein. As used herein, a secreted recombinant protein does not refer to a protein retained in the periplasm of a recombinant bacterium. The term “fed-batch bioreactor,” as used herein, refers to a bioreactor containing, or suitable for containing, a plurality of bacteria (e.g., recombinant bacteria) in a starting volume of liquid culture medium, where the cell culture present in the bioreactor includes the periodic or continuous addition of a feed liquid culture medium to a starting volume of a liquid culture medium without substantial or significant removal of liquid culture medium from the cell culture.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION The present invention is based, at least in part, on the discovery that culturing recombinant bacteria in a liquid culture medium including about 0.1 g/L to about 10.0 g/L glycerol as the carbon source results in production of similar or greater amount of recombinant protein as compared to culturing the recombinant bacteria in a liquid culture medium including glucose as the carbon source. In view of this discovery, provided herein are methods of producing a recombinant protein that include: providing a recombinant bacterium including a nucleic acid encoding a recombinant protein; and culturing the recombinant bacterium in a liquid culture medium that includes about 0.1 g/L to 10.0 g/L glycerol under conditions sufficient for the production and release of a recombinant protein into the liquid culture medium, where liquid culture medium is substantially free of a saccharide. The present invention is also based, at least in part, on the discovery that culturing recombinant bacteria in a liquid culture medium where the pH of the liquid culture medium is about 6.8 to about 7.5 during a growth phase and the pH of the liquid culture medium is about 6.0 to about 6.75 during a protein production phase results in production of a greater amount of recombinant protein as compared to culturing the recombinant bacteria in a liquid culture medium with a single pH throughout the entirety of the process. In view of this discovery, provided herein are methods of producing a recombinant protein that include: providing a recombinant bacterium including a nucleic acid encoding a recombinant protein; and culturing the recombinant bacterium in a liquid culture medium under conditions sufficient for the production and release of a recombinant protein into the culture medium, where the pH of the liquid culture medium is about 6.8 to about 7.5 during a growth phase and the pH of the liquid culture medium is about 6.0 to about 6.75 during a protein production phase.

antibody fragment of any of these antibodies. In some embodiments, the recombinant protein is an antibody or antigen-binding antibody fragment that binds to vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF). In some embodiments, the antigen-binding antibody fragment is ranibizumab or a ranibizumab variant. Ranibizumab is a recombinant humanized IgG1 kappa isotype monoclonal antibody fragment. Ranibizumab binds to and inhibits the biologic activity of human vascular endothelial growth factor A (VEGF-A). Ranibizumab, which lacks an Fc region, has a molecular weight of approximately 48 kilodaltons. Ranibizumab binds to the receptor binding site of active forms of VEGF-A, including the biologically active, cleaved form of this molecule, VEGF110. The binding of ranibizumab to VEGF-A prevents the interaction of VEGF-A with its receptors (VEGFR1 and VEGFR2) on the surface of endothelial cells, reducing endothelial cell proliferation, vascular leakage, and new blood vessel formation. Ranibizumab has been described in U.S. patent 6,407,213 (in addition to non-human CDRs derived from the sequence of the murine antibody, ranibizumab comprises framework substitutions in the variable domains at positions 4 and 46 in the light chain (VL) and positions 49, 69, 71, 73, 76, 78, and 94 in the heavy chain (VH)), and in US 7,060,269 (Y0317 light chain SEQ ID NO: 1 and heavy chain SEQ ID NO: 2). Light Chain (SEQ ID NO: 1) Heavy Chain (SEQ ID NO: 2) In some embodiments, ranibizumab includes the amino acid sequence of one or both of SEQ ID NO: 3 and 4. Light Chain of Ranibizumab (SEQ ID NO: 3) Heavy Chain of Ranibizumab (SEQ ID NO: 4) Any of the methods described herein can also be performed using a ranibizumab variant. A ranibizumab variant, e.g., can have 1 to 25 (e.g., 1 to 20, 1 to 15, 1 to 10, one to 10, 1 to 8, 1 to 6, 1 to 4, 1 to 3, or 1 or 2 amino acid substitutions in either the heavy chain (e.g, SEQ ID NO: 4) and/or the light chain (e.g., SEQ ID NO: 3) of ranibizumab. In some embodiments, a ranibizumab variant can include an amino acid sequence that is at least 80% (e.g., at least 81%, at least 82%, at least 83%, at least 84%, at least 85%, at least 86%, at least 88%, at least 90%, at least 92%, at least 94%, at least 95%, at least 96%, at least 97%, at least 98%, at least 99%, at least 99.5%, or 100%) identical to SEQ ID NO: 3. In some embodiments, a raninizumab variant can include an amino acid sequence that is at least 80% (e.g., at least 81%, at least 82%, at least 83%, at least 84%, at least 85%, at least 86%, at least 88%, at least 90%, at least 92%, at least 94%, at least 95%, at least 96%, at least 97%, at least 98%, at least 99%, at least 99.5%, or 100%) identical to SEQ ID NO: 4. In some embodiments, a ranibizumab variant can include a sequence that differs from the amino sequence of SEQ ID NO: 3 by 1 to 30 (e.g., 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, or 30) amino acids. In some embodiments, a ranibizumab variant can include a sequence that differs from the amino sequence of SEQ ID NO: 4 by 1 to 30 (e.g., 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, or 30) amino acids. For example, a ranibizumab variant can include a sequence that differs from the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 3 and/or SEQ ID NO: 4 by one or more amino acids, the amino acid present in SEQ ID NO: 3 and/or SEQ ID NO: 4 can be replaced by a similar amino acid. For example, a serine can be replaced by any of glycine, alanine, serine, threonine, or proline; arginine can be replaced by asparagine, lysine, glutamine, or histidine; leucine can be replaced by phenylalanine, isoleucine, valine, or methionine; proline can be replaced with glycine, alanine, serine, or threonine; alanine can be replaced with glycine, threonine, proline, or serine; valine can be replaced with methionine, phenylalanine, isoleucine, or leucine; glycine can be replaced with alanine, threonine, proline, or serine; isoleucine can be replaced with phenylalanine, valine, leucine, or methionine; phenylalanine can be replaced with tryptophan or tyrosine; tyrosine can be replaced with tryptophan or phenylalanine; cysteine can be replaced with serine or threonine; histidine can be replaced with asparagine, lysine, glutamine, or arginine; glutamine can be replaced with glutamic acid, asparagine, or aspartic acid; asparagine can be replaced with glutamic acid, aspartic acid, or glutamine; lysine can be replaced with asparagine, glutamine, arginine, or histidine; asparatic acid can be replaced with glutamic acid, asparagine, or glutamine; glutamic acid can be replaced by asparagine, aspartic acid, or glutamine; methionine can be replaced with phenylalanine, isoleucine, valine, or leucine; and tryptophan can be replaced with phenylalanine or tyrosine.

Cell Culturing Cell culturing includes incubating a recombinant bacteria (e.g., any of the recombinant bacteria described herein) in a liquid culture medium under a controlled set of conditions. In some embodiments, cell culturing includes a growth phase and a protein production phase. In some embodiments, the growth phase and the protein production phase occur in the same vessel. In other embodiments, the growth phase and the protein production phase occur in different vessels. In some embodiments, a first part of a growth phase may take place in small vessel (e.g., a shake flask) and a second part of the growth phase can occur after the cell culture is transferred to a larger vessel (e.g., a bioreactor or fermentor). In some embodiments, the growth phase occurs from the moment of inoculation of the bioreactor to about 14 hours post inoculation of the bioreactor. In some embodiments, the growth phase occurs from the moment of inoculation of the bioreactor to any point in time of the method up until about 14 hours (e.g., up until about 13, 12, 11, 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, or 1 hour post-inoculation). In some embodiments, the protein production phase begins at about 12 hours post- inoculation to about 14 hours post-inoculation and continues until the end of the culture period, e.g., at about 48 hours post-inoculation. In some embodiments, the protein production phase begins at any point in time of the method after about 12 hours post- inoculation (e.g., begins at about 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23 or 24 hours post- inoculation) and continues until the end of the culture period, e.g., at about 48 hours post- inoculation. Skilled practitioners will appreciate that changes in growth phase and/or the protein production phase can occur as a result of a changes to the production method including, without limitation: using a different strain of recombinant bacterium, using a different lot of same recombinant bacterium (e.g., different lot number), varying the concentration of liquid culture medium reagents (e.g., glucose, glycerol, magnesium salt, magnesium ion, phosphate salt, phosphate ion), varying conditions of the seed flask (e.g., OD 600 , purity, and sterility), and varying growth conditions (e.g., time, temperature, agitation, exposure to light, methods of feed batch culturing, types of bioreactors).

In some embodiments, the temperature of the liquid culture medium after the shifting is about 28°C to about 35°C (e.g., about 32°C to about 35°C). In some embodiments, the shifting of the temperature is performed at about 1 days to about 7 days after the start of culturing (e.g., about 4 days to about 7 days after the start of culturing, or about 5 days to about 7 days after the start of culturing). In some embodiments, the culturing includes maintaining a dissolved O 2 (dO 2 ) level of about 5% to about 60% (e.g., about 20% to about 50%) in the liquid culture medium. In some embodiments, the culturing includes maintaining a dissolved O 2 (dO 2 ) level of greater than about 30% in the liquid culture medium. In some embodiments, the culturing includes maintaining a dissolved O 2 (dO 2 ) level of about 30% to about 55% in the liquid culture medium. In some embodiments, the culturing includes agitating the liquid culture medium. In some embodiments, the agitating is performed at a rotary agitation rate of about 100 revolutions per minute (RPM) to about 800 RPM. Fed Batch Culturing Fed batch culturing a cell in a vessel (e.g., a fed-batch bioreactor or fermentor) includes, over the culturing period, the addition (e.g., periodic or continuous addition) to a starting volume of a liquid culture medium, of an additional volume of a liquid culture medium (a feed liquid culture medium), without substantial or significant removal of the liquid culture medium. In some embodiments, the adding of the feed liquid culture medium is performed continuously (e.g., at a rate that adds a volume of between about 1% to about 500% (e.g., about 1% to about 450%, about 1% to about 400%, about 1% to about 350%, about 1% to about 300%, about 1% to about 250%, about 1% to about 200%, about 1% to about 150%, about 1% to about 100%, about 1% to about 50%, about 1% to about 25%, about 10% to about 500%, about 10% to about 450%, about 10% to about 400%, about 10% to about 350%, about 10% to about 300%, about 10% to about 250%, about 10% to about 200%, about 10% to about 150%, about 10% to about 100%, about 10% to about 50%, about 10% to about 25%, about 25% to about 500%, about 25% to about 450%, about 25% to about 400%, about 25% to about 350%, about 25% to about 300%, about 25% to about 250%, about 25% to about 200%, about 25% to about 150%, about 25% to about 100%, about 25% to about 50%, about 50% to about 500%, about 50% to about 450%, about 50% to about 400%, about 50% to about 350%, about 50% to about 300%, about 50% to about 250%, about 50% to about 200%, about 50% to about 150%, about 50% to about 100%, about 100% to about 500%, about 100% to about 450%, about 100% to about 400%, about 100% to about 350%, about 100% to about 300%, about 100% to about 250%, about 100% to about 200%, about 100% to about 150%, about 150% to about 500%, about 150% to about 450%, about 150% to about 400%, about 150% to about 350%, about 150% to about 300%, about 150% to about 250%, about 150% to about 200%, about 200% to about 500%, about 200% to about 450%, about 200% to about 400%, about 200% to about 350%, about 200% to about 300%, about 200% to about 250%, about 250% to about 500%, about 250% to about 450%, about 250% to about 400%, about 250% to about 350%, about 250% to about 300%, about 300% to about 500%, about 300% to about 450%, about 300% to about 400%, about 300% to about 350%, about 350% to about 500%, about 350% to about 450%, about 350% to about 400%, about 400% to about 500% or about 450% to about 500%) of the volume of the starting volume of liquid culture medium (the volume at the start of culturing), over the entire time of culturing. Skilled practitioners will appreciate that the starting volume of liquid culture medium, and the feed liquid culture medium can be the same or different. In some embodiments, a minimal volume of the liquid culture medium can be removed during the culturing for testing of the culture, e.g., by a mechanical system. In some embodiments, the volume of feed liquid culture medium is added to the starting volume of liquid culture medium in an automated fashion, e.g., by perfusion pump. In some embodiments of these methods, once the cell culture achieves a threshold optical density (e.g., an OD 600 of about 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90, 100, 110, 120, 130, 140, 150, 160, 170, 180, 190, or 200), a feed liquid culture medium including phosphate can be added to the starting volume of liquid culture medium. In some embodiments of these methods, a feed liquid culture medium including phosphate is added to the starting volume of liquid culture medium once the elapsed fermentation is about 1 hour, about 2 hours, about 3 hours, about 4 hours, about 5 hours, about 6 hours, about 7 hours, about 8 hours, about 9 hours, about 10 hours, about 11 hours, about 12 hours, about 13 hours, about 14 hours, about 15 hours, about 16 hours, about 17 hours, about 18 hours, about 19 hours, about 20 hours, about 21 hours, about 22 hours, about 23 hours, or about 24 hours. In some embodiments, the phosphate is phosphoric acid. In some embodiments, the phosphoric acid is 85% phosphoric acid.

In some examples, the adding of the feed liquid culture medium is initiated after about the first 10 minutes, the first 20 minutes, the first 30 minutes, the first 40 minutes, the first 50 minutes, the first 1 hour, the first 2 hours, the first 3 hours, the first 4 hours, the first 5 hours, the first 6 hours, the first 7 hours, the first 8 hours, the first 9 hours, the first 10 hours, the first 11 hours, the first 12 hours, the first 14 hours, the first 16 hours, the first 18 hours, the first 20 hours, the first 22 hours, the first 24 hours, the first 36 hours, or the first 48 hours after the start of culturing. In some embodiments, the magnesium ion is included in the phosphate feed liquid culture medium. In some embodiments, the feed liquid culture medium contains an amount of phosphate and an amount of a magnesium salt in order to provide the desired rate of addition of both phosphate and Mg 2+ to the starting volume of the liquid culture medium. Bioreactors and Fermentors In some examples, the culturing is performed using a shake flask. In some examples, the culturing is performed using a bioreactor (e.g., a fed batch fermentor). As is described in the art, in some embodiments, a bioreactor (e.g., fermentor) is equipped with several ports for, e.g., the removal of a fluid (e.g., a liquid culture medium, e.g., that can be substantially free of recombinant bacteria or that includes recombinant bacteria) or the addition of a fluid (e.g., a feed liquid culture medium, a basic or acidic solution for regulating the pH, and/or a fluid including phosphate). A bioreactor (e.g., fermentor) can also be equipped with a pH monitor, a dissolved oxygen monitor, a dissolved CO 2 monitor, one or more gas spargers, and a means for agitating the liquid culture medium (e.g., a propeller). A variety of different bioreactors (e.g., fermenters) are commercially available. In some embodiments, a bioreactor is equipped with a mechanical device that is capable of removing a volume of liquid culture medium from the bioreactor and optionally, a mechanical device for adding a volume of a feed liquid culture medium). In some embodiments, the internal volume of a bioreactor (e.g., bioreactor or fermentor) is about 100 mL to about 1,000 L, about 100 mL to about 750 L, about 100 mL to about 500 L, about 100 mL to about 250 L, about 100 mL to about 100 L, about 100 mL to about 10 L, about 100 mL to about 1 L, about 100 mL to about 500 mL, about 500 mL to about 1,000 L, about 500 mL to about 750 L, about 500 mL to about 500 L, about 500 mL to about 250 L, about 500 mL to about 100 L, about 500 mL to about 10 L, about 500 mL to about 1 L, about 1 L to about 1,000 L, about 1 L to about 750 L, about 1 L to about 500 L, about 1 L to about 250 L, about 1 L to about 100 L, about 1 L to about 10 L, about 10 L to about 1,000 L, about 10 L to about 750 L, about 10 L to about 500 L, about 10 L to about 250 L, about 10 L to about 100 L, about 100 L to about 1,000 L, about 100 L to about 750 L, about 100 L to about 500 L, about 100 L to about 250 L, about 250 L to about 1,000 L, about 250 L to about 750 L, about 250 L to about 500 L, about 500 L to about 1,000 L, about 500 L to about 750 L, or about 750 L to about 1,000 L.

Temperature and Temperature Shift In some embodiments, the temperature of the liquid culture medium during the culturing step is about 25°C to about 37°C (e.g., about 25°C to about 35°C, about 25° C to about 30°C, about 30°C to about 37°C, about 30°C to about 35°C, or about 35°C to about 37° C). Skilled practitioners will appreciate that the temperature of the liquid culture medium can be changed at a specific time point(s) during the culturing step. In non-limiting examples, the temperature of the liquid culture medium is changed or shifted (e.g., increased or decreased) at about 1 day, about 2 days, about 3 days, about 4 days, about 5 days, about 6 days, or about 7 days after the start of culturing. For example, the shifting of the temperature is performed at about 2 days to about 7 days (e.g., about 2 days to about 6 days, about 2 days to about 5 days, about 2 days to about 4 days, about 3 days to about 7 days, about 3 days to about 6 days, about 3 days to about 5 days, about 4 days to about 7 days, about 4 days to about 6 days, or about 5 days to about 7 days) after the start of culturing. Dissolved Oxygen (dO 2 ) The culturing can include maintaining in the liquid culture medium a dissolved oxygen (dO 2 ) level. In some embodiments, the dO 2 level is maintained at about 5% to about 55% (e.g., about 5% to about 50%, about 5% to about 45%, about 5% to about 40%, about 5% to about 35%, about 5% to about 30%, about 5% to about 25%, about 5% to about 20%, about 5% to about 15%, about 5% to about 10%, about 10% to about 55%, about 10% to about 50%, about 10% to about 45%, about 10% to about 40%, about 10% to about 35%, about 10% to about 30%, about 10% to about 25%, about 10% to about 20%, about 10% to about 15%, about 15% to about 55%, about 15% to about 50%, about 15% to about 45%, about 15% to about 40%, about 15% to about 35%, about 15% to about 30%, about 15% to about 25%, about 15% to about 20%, about 20% to about 55%, about 20% to about 50%, about 20% to about 45%, about 20% to about 40%, about 20% to about 35%, about 20% to about 30%, about 20% to about 25%, about 25% to about 55%, about 25% to about 50%, about 25% to about 45%, about 25% to about 40%, about 25% to about 35%, about 25% to about 30%, about 30% to about 55%, about 30% to about 50%, about 30% to about 45%, about 30% to about 40%, about 30% to about 35%, about 35% to about 55%, about 35% to about 50%, about 35% to about 45%, about 35% to about 40%, about 40% to about 55%, about 40% to about 50%, about 40% to about 45%, about 45% to about 55%, about 45% to about 50%, or about 50% to about 55%). In some embodiments, the dO 2 level is maintained at greater than about 10%, greater than about 15%, greater than about 20%, greater than about 25%, greater than about 30%, greater than about 35%, greater than about 40%, greater than about 45%, or greater than about 50%.

In one embodiment of the present invention, the cell culturing is conducted in a fermenter with a starting liquid culture medium weight of 1,100 kg, the culture medium comprises 30 mM of phosphate and 1.3 g/L MgSO 4 , the total EFT is 28 hours, the max OD 600 is 130, and the titer of the recombinant protein (e.g. ranibizumab or a ranibizumab variant) in the medium is 70-90 mg/L. In another embodiment of the present invention, the cell culturing is conducted in a fermenter with a starting liquid culture medium weight of 600 kg, the culture medium comprises 60 mM of phosphate and 2.3 g/L MgSO 4 , the total EFT is 48-50 hours, the max OD 600 is about 180, and the titer of the recombinant protein (e.g. ranibizumab or a ranibizumab variant) in the medium is 200-250 mg/L. Purifying Recombinant Protein Some embodiments of these methods further include purifying the recombinant protein (e.g., ranibizumab or a ranibizumab variant) from the liquid culture medium (e.g., a liquid culture medium that is substantially free of recombinant bacteria) or a diluted liquid culture medium (e.g., a diluted liquid culture medium that is substantially free of recombinant bacteria). In some examples, purifying the recombinant protein includes the performance of one or more of: filtration, capturing, purification, and polishing. Filtering In some embodiments, the method of purifying the recombinant protein (e.g., ranibizumab or a ranibizumab variant) can include, at least in part, a step of filtering a liquid containing the recombinant protein. The filtration can be performed, e.g., using a filter, or a chromatography column or chromatographic membrane that contains a molecule sieve resin. In one embodiment, filtering separates recombinant protein in a liquid containing the recombinant protein (e.g. harvested liquid culture medium) from contaminants such as cells, cell debris, and sludge. In one embodiment, filtration is optionally proceeded by centrifugation. In another embodiment, filtration is proceeded by acid precipitation. In yet another embodiment, filtration is proceeded by centrifugation which is proceeded by acid precipitation. Put otherwise, in the proceeding embodiment, a liquid containing the recombinant protein (e.g. harvested liquid culture medium) is subjected to acid precipitation, centrifugation, then filtration. Capturing In some embodiments, a recombinant protein (e.g., ranibizumab or a ranibizumab variant) can be purified using, at least in part, a step of capturing a recombinant protein from a liquid. Capturing a recombinant protein can include the use of, e.g., a chromatography column or a chromatography resin, e.g., that utilizes a capture mechanism. Non-limiting examples of capturing mechanisms include an antibody- or antibody fragment-binding capture mechanism, an aptamer-binding capture mechanism, a protein L-binding capture mechanism, a substrate-binding capture mechanism, and a cofactor-binding capture mechanism. For example, if the recombinant protein is an antibody, or an antigen-binding fragment, the capturing mechanism can be a protein L- or a protein A-binding capture mechanism or an antigen-binding capturing mechanism (wherein the capturing antigen is specifically recognized by the recombinant antibody or recombinant antigen-binding fragment). In one embodiment, the capturing mechanism captures proteins comprising an antibody light chain. Non-limiting resins that capture a recombinant protein are described in the art. In order to capture the recombinant protein using the chromatography column or chromatographic membrane, one typically performs the sequential chromatographic steps of loading, washing, eluting, and regenerating the chromatography column or chromatography membrane. As one of skill in the art can appreciate, the flow rates and buffers to be used loading, washing, eluting, and regenerating steps are chosen based on the chemical properties of the recombinant protein. Purifying In some embodiments, the methods of purifying a recombinant protein (e.g., ranibizumab or a ranibizumab variant) can include a step of purifying a recombinant protein using a chromatography column or chromatographic membrane that contains a resin, e.g., that binds the recombinant protein. For example, the chromatography column or chromatography membrane can be used to perform cation exchange or anion exchange chromatography, or molecular sieve chromatography. Exemplary resins that can be used to purify a recombinant protein are known in the art. In one embodiment, the chromatography column is operated in a bind and elute process. In another embodiment, the chromatography column is operated in a flow-through process. In one embodiment, the chromatography column is an ion exchange column. In one embodiment, the chromatography column is a hydrophobic interaction chromatography (HIC) column. In another embodiment, a recombinant protein (e.g., ranibizumab or a ranibizumab variant) is purified with an ion exchange column and a HIC column. As can be appreciated by one skilled in the art, the step of purifying a recombinant protein can, e.g., include the steps of loading, washing, eluting, and equilibrating the at least one chromatography column or chromatographic membrane used to perform the unit of operation of purifying the recombinant protein. Typically, the elution buffer coming out of a chromatography column or chromatographic membrane used to perform the unit operation of purifying contains the recombinant protein. Following the loading of the recombinant protein onto the chromatographic column or chromatographic membrane that is used to perform the unit operation of purifying the recombinant protein, the chromatographic column or chromatographic membrane is washed with at least one washing buffer. As can be appreciated in the art, the washing buffer is meant to elute all proteins that are not the recombinant protein from the chromatography column or chromatographic membrane, while not disturbing the interaction of the recombinant protein with the resin or otherwise eluting the recombinant protein. Non-limiting examples of elution buffers used in these methods will depend on the resin and/or the recombinant protein. For example, an elution buffer can contain a different concentration of salt (e.g., increased salt concentration), a different pH (e.g., an increased or decreased pH), or a molecule that will compete with the recombinant protein for binding to the resin. Examples of such elution buffers are known in the art. Following the elution of the recombinant protein from the chromatographic column or chromatographic membrane used to perform the unit operation of purifying the recombinant protein, the chromatography column or chromatographic membrane can be equilibrated using a regeneration buffer. Polishing In some embodiments, the methods of purifying a recombinant protein (e.g., ranibizumab or a ranibizumab variant) can, at least in part, include a step polishing the recombinant protein. A recombinant protein can be polished using, e.g., a chromatography column or chromatographic membrane that contains a resin, e.g., cation exchange, anion exchange, or molecular sieve chromatography. In one embodiment, the chromatography column is operated in a bind and elute process. In another embodiment, the chromatography column is operated in a flow-through process. In one embodiment, the chromatography column is an ion exchange column. In another embodiment, the chromatography column is a HIC column. In another embodiment, a recombinant protein (e.g., ranibizumab or a ranibizumab variant) is polished with an ion exchange column and a HIC column. Non- limiting examples of resins used to polish a recombinant protein are known in the art. As can be appreciated in the art, polishing a recombinant protein using the chromatography column or chromatography membrane can include, e.g., the steps of loading, chasing, and regenerating the chromatography column or chromatographic membrane. For example, when the steps of loading, chasing, and regenerating are used to perform the polishing, the recombinant protein does not bind the resin in the chromatography column or chromatography membrane, and the recombinant protein is eluted from the chromatography column or chromatographic membrane in the loading and chasing steps, and the regenerating step is used to remove any impurities from the chromatography column or chromatographic membrane. Examples of flow rates and buffer volumes to be used in each of the loading, chasing, and regenerating steps are known in the art.

EXAMPLES The disclosure is further described in the following examples, which do not limit the scope of the disclosure described in the claims. Example 1. Production of Ranibizumab at pH 7.5 Seed Build-Up (Day 1): One vial of frozen recombinant bacteria E. coli that include nucleic acid encoding ranibizumab, was placed into the biosafety cabinet to thaw. Once thawed, the contents of the seed vial were transferred into a sterile 1 L baffled shake flask containing 250 mL of sterile seed medium (20.92 g/L MOPS, 1.30 g/L K 2 HPO 4 , 3.36 g/L KH 2 PO 4 , 23.88 g/L yeast extract, 3.88 g/L ammonium sulfate, 0.72 g/L citric acid, 0.19 g/L FeCl 3 -6H 2 O, 10 mg/L tetracycline HCl, 4.50 g/L glucose, and 2.27 g/L MgSO 4 -7H 2 O). The flask was placed into a shaker incubator at 30 °C and rotated at 200 RPM. After 12.5 hours of incubation, the culture was examined for purity microscopically and by streaking onto two TSA plates and seven differential agar plates. These plates were incubated at 30 °C. Since microscopic examination of the flask showed only a single rod- shaped organism, it was used to inoculate the production reactor. Examination of the TSA plates after 28 hours revealed only a single smooth cream colored colony type. The differential agar plates showed only antibiotic resistant E. coli were present. Fermentation Production Reactor Sterilization (Day 1): Calibrated pH and DO probes were placed into a 5L bioreactor, and the reactor was batched with a batching fermentation medium (2.60 g/L K 2 HPO 4 , 6.70 g/L KH 2 PO 4 , 23.88 g/L yeast extract, 3.88 g/L ammonium sulfate, 1.42 g/L citric acid, 0.19 g/L FeCl 3 -6H 2 O, and 0.20 g/L antifoam 204). The reactor was sterilized for 45 minutes at 121 ± 1 °C by autoclaving as shown in Figure 2. Once the reactor was cool, glucose and magnesium sulfate were aseptically added (2.5 g/L glucose and 2.30 g/L MgSO 4 -7H 2 O). The reactor was then sampled to verify sterility by both microscopic examination and plating 1 mL onto two TSA plates. After sampling, 10 mg/L tetracycline HCl was added to the reactor to give the complete medium. The plates were then incubated at 30 °C. Microscopic examination showed no microorganisms present in the media. Examination of the TSA plates after 48.75 hours of incubation revealed no colonies on either plates. Inoculation and Growth (Day 1-3) After 12.5 hours of incubation, the seed flask had reached an OD 600 of 13.7. A portion of this culture, 75mL, was used to inoculate the bioreactor. Data collection and the pH control were hooked up and started at this time. The production reactor was then allowed to continue, sampling periodically (Table 1). At 4.75 hours, the glucose feed (720.0 g/L glucose monohydrate) was started. Glucose was fed exponentially using the equation below: Feed Rate (L/h) = (CDW * V * µmax e^µmax*t)/(Feed Conc. * Cell Yield) Parameters used: CDW = 4 g/L; V = 3 L; µmax = 0.24, Feed Conc. = 660 g/L; Cell Yield = 0.45 g/g, and t = EFT. Since the culture grew slower than the control, spike tests were used to adjust the exponential feed equation. The exponential was adjusted at 8 hours to μmax = 0.225, at 12 hours to 0.22, and at 14 hours to 0.205. At 12 hours the OD 600 had reached 107.7, and the phosphate/magnesium feed (4.6 g/L sodium citrate dehydrate, 1.6 g/L FeCl 3 -6H 2 O, 18.26 g/L phosphoric acid (85%), and 6.5 g/L MgSO 4 -7H 2 O) was started at this time with a target rate of 1.8 g/L/hr. The actual rate for the run was 1.79 g/L/hr. At 16 hours EFT, the exponential glucose feed was stopped and the feed set to linear feeding. The feed rate was decreased during the remainder of the run to try and keep the glucose levels between 0.5 to 5 g/L. At 45 hours EFT, the phosphate feed was stopped. The data for the run are shown in Table 2 and Figures 3-7. Table 1. Sample Points

Materials and Volumes Harvesting of Product (Day 3) After 48.5 hours of growth, the OD 600 had reached 187 and the production reactor was cooled down to < 20 °C for harvesting. A total of 4,017 g of culture was removed. The culture was harvested by centrifugation with a Sorvall centrifuge by spinning at 10,000 x g for 30 minutes. The supernatant was decanted and collected. The supernatant (3,179 g) was brought to 5 mM EDTA by the addition of 500 mM EDTA. The cell pellet was very firm and was discarded. The supernatant was stored at 4 °C.

At 4.0 hours, the glucose feed (720.0 g/L glucose monohydrate) was started. Glucose was fed exponentially using the equation below: Feed Rate (L/h) = (CDW * V * µmax e^µmax*t)/(Feed Conc. * Cell Yield) Parameters used: CDW = 4 g/L; V = 3 L; µmax = 0.24, Feed Conc. = 660 g/L; Cell Yield = 0.45 g/g, and t = EFT.

Microscopic examination showed no microorganisms present in the media. Examination of the TSA plates after 47 hours of incubation revealed no colonies on either plates. Inoculation and Growth (Day 1-3) After 13.25 hours of incubation, the seed flask had reached an OD 600 of 10.1. A portion of this culture, 75 mL, was used to inoculate the bioreactor. Data collection and the pH control were hooked up and started at this time. The production reactor was then allowed to continue, sampling periodically (Table 15). At 4.0 hours, the glycerol feed (600.0 g/L) was started. Glycerol was fed exponentially using the equation below: Feed Rate (L/h) = (CDW * V * µmax e^µmax*t)/(Feed Conc. * Cell Yield) Parameters used: CDW = 4 g/L; V = 2.5 L; µmax = 0.24, Feed Conc. = 660 g/L; Cell Yield = 0.45 g/g, and t = EFT. At 11 hours the OD 600 had reached 105.7, and the phosphate/magnesium feed (4.6 g/L sodium citrate dehydrate, 1.6 g/L FeCl 3 -6H 2 O, 18.26 g/L phosphoric acid (85%), and 6.5 g/L MgSO 4 -7H 2 O) was started at this time with a target rate of 1.8 g/L/hr. The actual rate for the run was 1.77 g/L/hr. At 13.5 hours EFT, the exponential glycerol feed was stopped and the feed set to linear feeding. Spike tests were performed periodically and the glycerol feed rate was decreased during the remainder of the run to keep the glycerol from building in the reactor. After completion of the runs, the YSI was changed over to read glycerol and the supernatant samples were analyzed for glycerol. At 42 hours EFT, the phosphate feed was stopped. The data for the run are shown in Table 15 and Figures 45-49. A summary of materials used for this run are shown in Table 16. Table 15. Sample points

ND, Not Determined Table 16: Materials and Volumes Harvesting of Product (Day 3) After 48.5 hours of growth, the OD 600 had reached 151 and the production reactor was cooled down to < 20 °C for harvest. A total of 3565.4g of culture was removed. The culture was harvested by centrifugation with a Sorvall centrifuge by spinning at 10,000 x g for 30 minutes. The supernatant was decanted and collected. The supernatant (2673.2 g) was brought to 5 mM EDTA by the addition of 500 mM EDTA. The cell paste was discarded. The supernatant was stored at 4 °C.

Summary of Ranibizumab Harvested in Examples 1 – 8 The results for protein production for Examples 1-8 are listed in Table 17. Specifically, Table 17 shows the amount of mg purified ranibizumab/L after purification column 1 (Col 1) and after purification column 2 (Col 2). Table 17. Summary table for purification of Column 1 and Column 2. Addition of glycerol increases protein production compared to control The addition of glycerol in Example 8 showed an increase in titer of 1.3X over the control (Table 17, 33.9 mg/L supernatant (pH 6.8 control) to 44.3 mg/L supernatant (pH 6.8 + glycerol). pH 6.8 during growth phase combined with either pH 6.6 or pH 6.4 during protein production phase yields greater amount purified protein than control Examples 5-8 show that growing recombinant bacterium (growth phase) in one pH window (e.g., pH about 6.8 to about 7.5) and producing recombinant protein (protein production phase) in a second pH window (e.g., pH about 6.0 to about 6.75) can increase yield of recombinant protein compared to controls. For these experiments, growth phase was considered from the moment of inoculation of the bioreactor to about 12 hours, to about 13 hours, or to about 14 hours effective fermentation time (EFT). The protein production phase began at about 14 hours EFT to about 16 hours EFT and continued until the end of the culture period at about 48 hours EFT. Example 5 used a liquid culture medium with a pH of 6.8 for both growth phase and protein production phase. Example 6 and Example 7 used a liquid culture medium with a pH of 6.8 during the growth phase and a liquid culture medium with pH of 6.6 or 6.4 during the protein production phase. Figures 50 and 51 and Table 17 show the increased protein yields when liquid culture media having a pH of 6.2, 6.4, or 6.6, as compared to a pH of 6.8, as used during the protein production phase.
