共聚物接枝蛋白离子交换色谱介质制备及性能

高容量蛋白质色谱介质是色谱过程高效化的材料基础和重要前提。采用原子转移自由基聚合(ATRP)技术,以甲基丙烯酸3-磺酸丙酯钾和甲基丙烯酸甲酯(MMA)为单体化合物合成了多种无规共聚物接枝离子交换色谱介质,并对其蛋白质吸附性能进行研究。单体总浓度一定情况下共聚物接枝色谱介质孔道半径(r_(pore))随MMA浓度升高而增大,反映出接枝共聚物链渐趋塌陷的特征。蛋白质吸附结果表明,溶菌酶吸附容量取决于介质的离子交换容量;而抗体吸附容量则与r_(pore)及相应的聚合物层厚度变化密切相关。随着聚合物层厚度的增大,聚合物层对抗体的空间排阻作用增强,抗体吸附容量下降。此外,引入MMA优化共聚物分子链可显著提高蛋白质吸附量,在SEP-g S30/M30介质中抗体和溶菌酶的饱和吸附量分别达到237 mg·g~(-1)和380 mg·g~(-1)。无规共聚物接枝离子交换色谱介质孔道内聚合物层厚度和蛋白质吸附也受无机盐浓度调控。     

减电荷聚甲基丙烯酸钠接枝介质的制备及蛋白质吸附性能

离子交换容量（IC）为320mmol/L的聚甲基丙烯酸钠（pMA）接枝型介质（FF-pMA-320）对溶菌酶和γ-球蛋白具有较高的吸附容量，但其传质速率较低。在保持聚合物链长度的前提下，通过乙醇胺与接枝链上的羧基进行电荷中和反应，降低pMA接枝型介质的电荷密度，提升介质的蛋白质传质速率。将FF-pMA-320进行部分电荷中和修饰，制备得到离子交换容量分别为230mmol/L和170mmol/L的减电荷阳离子交换介质，分别命名为pMA-320-R230和pMA-320-R170。采用吸附平衡、吸附动力学和柱穿透实验，研究了溶菌酶和γ-球蛋白在这两种新型介质上的吸附行为，并与初始介质FF-pMA-320进行了比较。结果表明：随着介质的IC值（电荷密度）从320mmol/L降低到170mmol/L，介质对两种蛋白质吸附容量随之减少，这与电荷中和修饰降低蛋白质吸附位点有关。随着接枝聚合物电荷密度的降低，相邻聚合物链之间的静电排斥作用减弱，蛋白质吸附容量降低，造成接枝链的灵活性增加以及蛋白质排阻效应减弱。因此，溶菌酶和γ-球蛋白在pMA-320-R170上的传质速率分别是FF-pMA-320的1.6倍和5.5倍。柱穿透实验结果表明，由于pMA-320-R170对γ-球蛋白传质速率较高，使得介质对蛋白质的动态结合容量（DBC）高于其他两种介质，在流速为150~750cm/h时可保持在10mg/mL以上。研究结果对设计和开发高性能蛋白质色谱介质提供借鉴和指导。     

反离子对牛血清白蛋白在荷电葡聚糖接枝介质中色谱行为的影响

从前期开发的具有极高的吸附容量及传质速率的二乙氨乙基葡聚糖接枝离子交换介质中选取FF-D50-DexD100和FF-DexD100为典型代表,利用Cl^-、SCN^-、SO₄^2-、HPO₄^2-为模型反离子,以牛血清白蛋白（BSA）为模型蛋白,以商品化介质（Q Sepharose FF、Q Sepharose XL、DEAE Sepharose FF）为对照,在离子强度为0.06mol/L下,系统研究反离子对二乙氨乙基葡聚糖接枝介质的蛋白质吸附与洗脱行为的影响。结果表明,二乙氨乙基葡聚糖接枝介质对不同反离子的偏好性存在差异,且该偏好性差异与基团所处位置（接枝链配基或表面配基）无关。同时,介质偏好性弱的反离子会通过促进二乙氨乙基葡聚糖接枝介质的“链传递”效应加快蛋白质的传质速率,从而提高动态吸附容量。因此,在使用二乙氨乙基葡聚糖接枝介质进行蛋白质色谱柱分离过程中,可在吸附操作中使用HPO₄^2-,在洗脱操作中使用SCN^-来优化分离效果。     

阳离子交换型连续床用超大孔晶胶的制备

离子交换色谱是蛋白质分离纯化的有效方法之一,配基密度和介质孔径是影响蛋白质吸附的关键因素。采用3种不同琼脂糖浓度的凝胶为基质,具有不同的平均孔径,分别偶联上阴离子交换配基DEAE,通过调控反应条件,包括反应温度、反应时间、碱浓度和DEAE浓度,得到了不同配基密度和介质孔径的系列DEAE离子交换介质。考察了牛血清白蛋白（BSA）的静态和动态吸附性能,发现随配基密度增加或介质孔径减小,BSA饱和吸附容量有所增大;对于吸附动力学,介质孔径显著影响有效扩散系数。结果表明,配基密度和介质孔径共同决定了蛋白质的吸附性能,介质孔径主导蛋白质的孔内扩散,而配基密度则影响配基-蛋白质间的相互作用。

Preparation of copolymer-grafted mixed-mode resins for immunoglobulin G adsorption

The mixed-mode resins for protein adsorption have been prepared by a novel strategy, copolymer grafting. Specially, the copolymer-grafted resins CG-MA with two functional groups, 5-amino-benzimidazole (ABI) and methacryloxyethyltrimethyl ammonium chloride (METAC), have been prepared through surfaceinitiated activator generated by electron transfer for atom transfer radical polymerization of METAC and glycidyl methacrylate (GMA), followed by a ring-open reaction to introduce ABI. The charge and hydrophobicity of CG-MA resins could be controlled by manipulating the addition of METAC and GMA/ABI. Besides, METAC and ABI provided positive effects together in both protein adsorption and elution: dynamic binding capacity of human Immunoglobulin G (hlgG) onto CG-M-A resin with the highest ligand ratio of METAC to ABI is 46.8 mg-g 1 at pH 9 and the elution recovery of hlgG is 97.0% at pH 5. The separation experiment showed that purity and recovery of monoclonal antibody from cell culture supernatant are 96.0% and 86.5%, respectively, indicating that copolymer-grafted mixed-mode resins could be used for antibody purification.     

Fabrication of high-capacity cation-exchangers for protein adsorption: Comparison of grafting-from and grafting-to approaches

In this work, we have synthesized two polymer-grafted cation exchangers: one via the grafting-from approach, in which sulfopropyl methacrylate (SPM) is grafted through atom transfer radical polymerization onto Sepharose FF (the thus resulting exchanger is referred as Sep-g-SPM), and another via the grafting-to approach, in which the polymer of SPM is directly coupled onto Sepharose FF (the thus resulting exchanger is called as Sep-pSPM). Protein adsorption on these two cation exchangers have been also investigated. At the same ligand density, Sep-g-SPM has a larger accessible pore radius and a smaller depth of polymer layer than Sep-pSPM, due to the controllable introduction of polymer chains with the regular distribution of the ligand. Therefore, high-capacity adsorption of lysozyme and γ-globulin could be achieved simultaneously in Sep-g-SPM with an ionic capacity (IC) of 308 mmol·L^-1. However, Sep-pSPM has an irregular chain distribution and different architecture of polymer layer, which lead to more serious repulsive interaction to proteins, and thus Sep-pSPM has a lower adsorption capacity for γ-globulin than Sep-g-SPM with the similar IC. Moreover, the results from protein uptake experiments indicate that the facilitated transport of adsorbed γ-globulin occurs only in Sep-pSPM and depends on the architecture of polymer layers. Our research provides a clear clue for the development of high-performance protein chromatography.     

Implications from γ-globulin adsorption onto cation exchangers fabricated by sequential alginate grafting and sulfonation

Our previous work proved that high adsorption capacity and uptake rate of lysozyme were achieved on alginate(Alg)-grafted re sin with an ionic capacity(IC) of 240 mmol·L~(-1)(Alg-FF-240).Moreover,the salt-tolerant feature of Alg-FF-230 was improved by using sequential alginate grafting and sulfonation strategy.Inspired by the enhanced adsorption performance of lysozyme,we have herein proposed to investigate the static and dynamic adsorption behaviors of γ-globulin on a series of Alg-grafted resins with different grafting densities and sulfonation degrees.The adsorption ca pacity of γ-globulin decreased with increa sing alginate-grafting density(IC) from 160 to 230 mmol·L~(-1) at 0 mmol·L~(-1) NaCl because of the steric hindrance caused by the alginate-grafting layer.Effects of ionic strength(IS) indicated that the adsorption capacities of the resins with the IC value of 230-370 mmol·L~(-1) were much higher than CM Sepharose FF at 50-100 mmol·L~(-1) NaCl,and the uptake rate of Alg-FF-230 was about twice as much as that of CM Sepharose FF.This work demonstrated the important effects of alginate-grafting layer and IS in γ-globulin adsorption behavior,which would be helpful in the design of Alggrafted resins and the selection of proper IS condition for protein purification.     

In situ investigation of lysozyme adsorption into polyelectrolyte brushes by quartz crystal microbalance with dissipation

A well understanding about protein adsorption into charged polymer brushes is of importance in the elucidation of mechanism and important phenomena (such as “chain delivery” effect) in protein adsorption on polymer-grafted ion exchange adsorbents. In this work, quartz crystal microbalance with dissipation (QCM-D) was introduced to in situ investigate lysozyme adsorption on QCM sensors grafted with poly(3-sulfopropyl methacrylate) (pSPM) via atom transfer radical polymerization. It was achieved by analyzing frequency (f) and energy dissipation (D) shift simultaneously on pSPM-grafted sensors. The result showed that an initial decrease in ΔD was typical of lysozyme adsorption on pSPM-grafted sensor and more significant with an increase of chain length and grafting density. It was attributed to significant water release in the hydration layer of protein and polymer chains in lysozyme adsorption into pSPM brushes. On pSPM-grafted sensors with long and dense chains, furthermore, lysozyme transitioned from monolayer to multilayer adsorption and the maximum adsorbed amount was obtained to be 374.0?ng·cm^?2 among all pSPM-grafted sensors in this work. The results in D-f plot further revealed that lysozyme adsorption into pSPM brushes increased the rigidity of adsorbed layer and little structure adjustment of adsorbed lysozyme. It was unfavorable for “chain delivery” effect for facilitated transport of adsorbed protein. This work provided valuable insight into protein adsorption in pSPM brushes and outlined a feasible approach to increasing mass transport in polymer-grafted ion exchange adsorbents.     

Polyethylenimine‐grafted and HSA‐immobilized poly(GMA–MMA) affinity adsorbents for bilirubin removal

The epoxy‐group‐containing microspheres from cross‐linked glycidyl methacrylate and methyl methacrylate, poly(GMA–MMA), were prepared by suspension polymerisation. The epoxy groups of the poly(GMA–MMA) microspheres were used for grafting with an anionic polymer polyethylenimine (PEI) to prepare non‐specific affinity adsorbents (poly(GMA–MMA)–PEI) for bilirubin removal. The specificity of the poly(GMA–MMA)–PEI adsorbent to bilirubin was further increased by immobilization of human serum albumin (HSA) via adsorption onto PEI‐grafted poly(GMA–MMA) adsorbent. Various amounts of HSA were immobilized on the poly(GMA–MMA)–PEI adsorbent by changing the medium pH and initial HSA concentration. The maximum HSA content was obtained at 68.3 mg g^?1 microspheres. The effects of pH, ionic strength, temperature and initial bilirubin concentration on the adsorption capacity of both adsorbents were investigated in a batch system. Separation of bilirubin from human serum was also investigated in a continuous‐flow system. The bilirubin adsorption on the poly(GMA–MMA)–PEI and poly(GMA–MMA)–PEI–HSA was not well described by the Langmuir model, but obeyed the Freundlich isotherm model. The poly(GMA–MMA)–PEI affinity microspheres are stable when subjected to sanitization with sodium hydroxide after repeated adsorption–desorption cycles.

Grafting of pH-sensitive poly (N,N-dimethylaminoethyl methacrylate-co-2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate) onto HNTS via surface-initiated atom transfer radical polymerization for controllable drug release

Copolymer brushes composed of N,N-dimethylaminoethyl methacrylate (DMAEMA) and 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate (HEMA) were tethered on the surface of HNTs (HNTs) through surface-initiated atom transfer radical polymerization (SI-ATRP). ATRP initiator was anchored to surface and copolymers were synthesized from surface with different compositions of monomers. Successful grafting of copolymer brushes was approved by FTIR, TGA, XPS, FE-SEM, TEM, and N₂ adsorption-desorption.¹H NMR was used to determine the composition of copolymers. pH-sensitive properties of copolymer-grafted nanotubes were investigated by UV-visible absorbance in different pH values. Finally, loading and in vitro drug release from neat and copolymer-grafted HNTs were investigated using diphenhydramine hydrochloride as a model drug. Incorporation of DMAEMA to structure of polymers led to pH sensitivity of grafted-copolymers and controlled release of drug upon varying the pH of release medium. pH-dependent drug release showed that drug release was increased by decreasing pH of release medium and increasing DMAEMA content.     

Human serum albumin adsorption on poly[(glycidyl methacrylate)‐co‐(methyl methacrylate)] beads modified with a spacer‐arm‐attached L‐histidine ligand

Poly(GMA/MMA) beads were synthesized from glycidyl methacrylate (GMA) and methyl methacrylate (MMA) in the presence of a cross‐linker (i.e. ethyleneglycol dimethacrylate) (EGDMA) via suspension polymerization. The epoxy groups of the poly(GMA/MMA) beads were converted into amino groups with either ammonia or 1,6‐diaminohexane (i.e. spacer‐arm). An L ‐histidine ligand was then covalently immobilized on the aminated (poly(GMA/MMA)‐AH) and/or the spacer‐arm attached (poly(GMA/MMA)‐SAH) beads using glutaric dialdehyde as a coupling agent. Both affinity adsorbents were used in human serum albumin (HSA) adsorption/desorption studies under defined pH, ionic strength or temperature conditions in a batch reactor. The spacer‐arm attached affinity adsorbent resulted in an increase in the adsorption capacity to HSA when compared to the aminated counterpart (i.e. poly(GMA/MMA)‐AH). The maximum adsorption capacities of the affinity adsorbents were found to be significantly high, i.e. 43.7 and 80.2 mg g^?1 (of the beads), while the affinity constants, evaluated by the Langmuir model, were 3.96 × 10^?7 and 9.53 × 10^?7 mol L^?1 for poly(GMA/MMA)‐AH and poly(GMA/MMA)‐SAH, respectively. The adsorption capacities of the affinity adsorbents were decreased for HSA by increasing the ionic strength, adjusted with NaCl. The adsorption kinetics of HSA were analysed by using pseudo‐first and pseudo‐second‐order equations. The second‐order equation fitted well with the experimental data.

Studies on graft copolymerization of cyclohexyl methacrylate onto chloroprene rubber

Graft copolymerization of cyclohexyl methacrylate (CMA) onto chloroprene rubber (CR) was carried out in toluene using benzoyl peroxide as an initiator. The graft copolymer was isolated from the gross polymer by extracting it with a butanone solution. Infrared (IR) spectra of the graft copolymer showed the occurrence of grafting. Optimization of various parameters of the grafting, namely, time, temperature, and initiator concentrations, was performed. The mechanical adhesive properties of the graft copolymer, CR-g-CMA, were measured and compared with those of the graft copolymer of methyl methacrylate (MMA) onto CR, CR-g-MMA. © 1997 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
