Abstract
The present invention relates to a method for producing a botulinum toxin comprising: (a) treating a culture of a botulinum toxin-producing strain with acid to form a botulinum toxin-containing precipitate; (b) adding a buffer to the botulinum toxin-containing precipitate of step (a), followed by clarification by at least one method selected from the group consisting of depth filtration (DF), microfiltration (MF), ultrafiltration (UF), sterile filtration, membrane chromatography (MC) and centrifugation; (c) subjecting the botulinum toxin-containing solution of step (b) to UF diafiltration, ammonium sulfate precipitation or hydrochloric acid precipitation, and then diluting a retentate resulting from the UF diafiltration in a buffer or dissolving a precipitate resulting from the ammonium sulfate precipitation or hydrochloric acid precipitate in a buffer; and (d) subjecting the retentate dilution, ammonium sulfate precipitate solution or hydrochloric acid precipitate solution of step (c) to anion-exchange chromatography (AEX) to purify the botulinum toxin.
