FIELD: chemistry.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to the field of obtaining and separation of single-domain molecules (SDAB). Described is a method of the separation or purification of the SDAB molecule, which represents a trivalent molecule of a ATN-103 nanobody, targeting TNFα and HAS, from a mixture, containing the said SDAB molecule and one or more polluting substances. The mixture is brought in contact with a cation-exchange carrier under conditions, which make it possible for the SDAB molecule to bind with the carrier or be absorbed on the carrier. One or more polluting substances are removed and SDAB is selectively eluted from the carrier. The conductivity of a conditioning medium (CM), used for the carrier loading, constitutes from approximately 12 to 9 mS/cm and pH under conditions of loading is corrected to a value from 4.0 to 4.3. The buffer for elution corresponds to approximately 50 mM of sodium chloride or less and has pH from approximately 5.5 to 7.2. Disclosed is a method or a process of obtaining recombinant SDAB of ATN-103. A host-cell is supported in the conditions at which recombinant ATN-103 SDAB is expressed. The mixture of molecule SDAB and one or more polluting substances is obtained. ATN-103 SDAB is purified or separated with the application of cation-exchange chromatography, as said above.

EFFECT: application of the invention provides new methods of the separation or purification of the nanobody, which can be applied in obtaining the ATN-103 nanobody.
