Adsorption behaviors of avian immunoglobulins and purification of immunoglobulin Y from chicken serum with mixed-mode resins

The importance of immunoglobulin Y(IgY) as a specific antibody equivalent to mammalian immunoglobulin G(IgG) is well recognized. However, production of highly purified IgY is still difficult due to the lack of specific purification methods. In this study, adsorption behaviors of Ig Y on four mixed-mode resins with functional ligands of 4-mercatoethyl-pyridine(MEP), 2-mercapto-1-methyli-midazole(MMI), 5-aminobenzi-midazole(ABI) and tryptophan-5-aminobenzi-midazole(W-ABI) were evaluated. The results showed that high adsorption ratio were found at p H 6.0–7.0 with little adsorption under acidic conditions. The resin with ABI ligand was then used to separate IgY from immunized chicken serum. An efficient process with Ig Y purity of 95% and recovery of 90% was developed after optimization of loading and elution p H and injection volume. The biological activity of the purified Ig Y was fully maintained. These results indicated that mixed-mode chromatography with specially-designed ligands has great potential for the separation of Ig Y from crude feedstock.     

Hydrophobic charge-induction chromatographic resin with 5-aminobenzimidazol ligand: Effects of ligand density on protein adsorption

Hydrophobic charge-induction chromatography (HCIC) is a highly promising technology for antibody separation. HCIC resins ABI-B-6FF were prepared with 5-aminobenzimidazole (ABI) as the functional ligand. The effects of ligand density on the adsorption of human immunoglobulin G (hIgG) and bovine serum albumin were focused. It was found that the adsorption capacity and dynamic binding capacity (DBC) were improved with the increase of ligand density. The adsorption capacity and DBC of hIgG reached 128.07 mg/g gel and 67.63 mg/g gel. The results indicated that ABI-B-6FF resin has a promising potential for the application of antibody purification.     

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rpore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-gS30/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。     

Implications from protein uptake kinetics onto dextran-grafted Sepharose FF coupled with ion exchange and affinity ligands

Our previous studies have reported the presence of "chain delivery" effects of protein adsorption onto ion exchangers with polymer-grafted ion-exchange groups,such as dextran-grafted and poly(ethylenimine)-modified Sepharose gels.However,it is unclear if the "chain delivery" occurs on affinity adsorption with specific interactions.This work is designed to address this issue.A dextran-grafted Sepharose gel was prepared,and then the matrix was modified using diethylaminoethyl,a typical ion-exchange group,or octapeptide (FYCHWQDE),an affinity ligand for human immunoglobulin G (hIgG) to prepare ion-exchange or affinity adsorbents,respectively.Results of hIgG adsorption showed that the uptake rate represented by the effective diffusivity of hIgG onto the dextran-grafted ion exchangers was obviously enhanced by the dextran grafting,indicating the presence of "chain delivery" of the bound proteins on the charged groups on the dextran chains.By contrast,the effective diffusivity of hIgG changed little as ligand density increased on the dextran-grafted FYCHWQDE adsorbents.Their adsorption capacities decreased and effective diffusivities were not accelerated by the dextran grafting.Thus,this work clarified that grafted dextran could not accelerate hIgG uptake rate on the affinity resins,or in other words,chain delivery did not occur on the specific interaction-based affinity adsorption.     

Influences of Ligand Structure and pH on the Adsorption with Hydrophobic Charge Induction Adsorbents: A Case Study of Antibody IgY

The adsorption behaviors of hydrophobic charge induction chromatography (HCIC) adsorbents with different functional ligands were investigated with immunoglobulin of egg yolk (IgY) as a model antibody. The adsorption isotherm and retention behavior in the column were studied, and the influences of the ligand structure and the pH on the adsorption were discussed. The results indicated that the pI of the target protein and pKa of HCIC ligand are the important parameter to determine the maximum adsorption pH of HCIC adsorbent, and high adsorption of IgY was found at pH 5 for all five adsorbents tested. Some differences could be found for different HCIC adsorbents, and the ligand structure influenced pH effect on the binding/elution of target protein. 2-mercapto-1-methyl-imidazole (MMI) ligand with a sulfone group showed a high adsorption capacity and strong pH-sensitivity, which would be more suitable for antibody purification. Moreover, the retention experiments indicated that IgY could be efficiently eluted from the adsorbents with 4-mercapto-ethyl-pyridine (MEP) or MMI as the ligand at acid conditions, while 2-mercapto-benzimidazole (MBI) ligand showed some difficulties on the elution. The retention study would help in defining not only the effective pH of elution for a given protein but also the elution efficiency of a given adsorbent.     

Affinity adsorption of recombinant human interferon‐α on monosize dye‐affinity beads

Monosize, nonporous poly(glycidyl methacrylate) [poly(GMA)] beads were prepared by dispersion polymerization. Cibacron Blue F3GA was covalently attached onto the poly(GMA) beads for adsorption of recombinant interferon‐α (rHuIFN‐α). Monosize poly(GMA) beads were characterized by scanning electron microscopy. Dye‐carrying beads (1.73 mmol/g) were used in the adsorption–elution studies. The effect of initial concentration of rHuIFN‐α, pH, ionic strength, and temperature on the adsorption efficiency was studied in a batch system. Nonspecific adsorption of rHuIFN‐α on the beads was 0.78 mg/g. Dye attachment significantly increased the rHuIFN‐α adsorption up to 181.7 mg/g. Equilibrium adsorption of rHuIFN‐α onto the dye‐carrying beads increased with increasing temperature. Negative change in free energy (ΔG⁰ < 0) indicated that the adsorption was a thermodynamically favorable process. ΔS and ΔH values were 146.1 J/mol K and ?37.39 kJ/mol, respectively. Significant amount of the adsorbed rHuIFN‐α (up to 97.2%) was eluted in the elution medium containing 1.0M NaCl in 1 h. To determine the effects of adsorption conditions on possible conformational changes of rHuIFN‐α structure, fluorescence spectrophotometry was employed. We concluded that dye‐affinity beads can be applied for rHuIFN‐α adsorption without causing any significant conformational changes. Repeated adsorption–elution processes showed that these beads are suitable for rHuIFN‐α adsorption. © 2006 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Appl Polym Sci 103: 975–981, 2007     

Preparation and evaluation of mixed-mode resins with tryptophan analogues as functional ligands for human serum albumin separation

Five tryptophan analogues with a hydrophobic indole ring and an amino group on each molecule were used as functional ligands of mixed-mode resins for human serum albumin (HSA) purification.Their adsorption performance was evaluated and the effects of pH and salt addition on HSA adsorption were studied.The resins prepared showed typical pH-dependent adsorption and the highest adsorption capacity and affinity were found at pH 5.0 for all the resins tested.The saturated adsorption capacity was 138.02 mg·g-1 with the tryptaminefunctionalized resin,which significantly decreased at pH below 4.0 due to electrostatic repulsion between ligands and HSA.Moreover,the addition of NaCl or (NH4)2SO4 in media reduced HSA adsorption capacity,although the two salts showed different affecting profiles.The tryptamine-functionalized resin showed the best salt-tolerant performance,and its high adsorption capacity was maintained under high salt concentrations.In addition,the five resins prepared showed good adsorption selectivity for recombinant HSA from Pichia pastoris broth.Molecular docking results between tryptamine and HSA indicated that tryptamine was favorable to bind on Site Ⅱ (indole-binding site) of HSA.

Comparative study of the recovery of silver(I) from aqueous solutions with different chelating resins derived from glycidyl methacrylate

Glycidyl methacrylate (GMA) was polymerized in the presence of divinylbenzene (DVB). The GMA/DVB resin was immobilized with different chelating moieties containing nitrogen or sulfur donor atoms. The resins obtained [an amino‐bearing resin (RI), an amino/thiocarbamate‐bearing resin (RII), a triazole‐bearing resin (RIII), and an amino/thiol‐bearing resin (RIV)] were tested toward the recovery of Ag(I) from its aqueous solutions. The adsorption behavior of Ag(I) and the resin regeneration were studied. The sulfur‐containing resins showed higher uptake and lower elution efficiency than those containing nitrogen. The maximum uptake values were 1.20, 1.33, 1.40, and 2.86 mmol/g for RI, RII, RIII, and RIV, respectively. The mechanism of interaction between Ag(I) and the resins is also suggested. Regeneration was achieved with a 0.5N thiourea solution, acidified thiourea, or 0.5N H₂SO₄, where the resins were stable over five cycles. Elution efficiencies of 94–96 and 90–93% were achieved for the nitrogen‐ and sulfur‐containing resins, respectively. © 2005 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Appl Polym Sci 97: 806–812, 2005

Poly(vinylbenzylchloride) beads grafted with polymer brushes carrying hydrazine ligand for reversible enzyme immobilization

Poly(glycidylmethacrylate), p(GMA), brush grafted poly(vinylbenzyl chloride/ethyleneglycol dimethacrylate), p(VBC/EGDMA), beads were prepared by suspension polymerization and the beads were grafted with poly(glycidyl methacrylate), p(GMA), via surface‐initiated atom transfer radical polymerization aiming to construct a material surface with fibrous polymer. The epoxy groups of the fibrous polymer were reacted with hydrazine (HDZ) to create affinity binding site on the support for adsorption of protein. The influence of pH, and initial invertase concentration on the immobilization capacity of the p(VBC/EGDMA‐g‐GMA)‐HDZ beads has been investigated. Maximum invertase immobilization onto hydrazine functionalized beads was found to be 86.7 mg/g at pH 4.0. The experimental equilibrium data obtained invertase adsorption onto p(VBC/EGDMA‐g‐GMA)‐HDZ affinity beads fitted well to the Langmuir isotherm model. It was shown that the relative activity of immobilized invertase was higher than that of the free enzyme over broader pH and temperature ranges. The K_m and V_max values of the immobilized invertase were larger than those of the free enzyme. After inactivation of enzyme, p(VBC/EGDMA‐g‐GMA)‐HDZ beads can be easily regenerated and reloaded with the enzyme for repeated use. © 2009 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Appl Polym Sci, 2009     

Comparison between two commercial uranium resins and a uranyl sulphate imprinted resin based on self-assembling MIT

In recent years, resins prepared via molecular imprinting technology have received considerable attention owing to their recognition and selective adsorption. This paper deals with the comparative investigation between a uranyl sulphate imprinted ion-exchange based on self-assembling molecular imprinting technology and two kinds of commercial uranium resins (the medium pore resin D263 and strong base resin 201 × 7). The studies were focused on their kinetics performance, adaptability toward pH, and performance of saturation and elution in laboratory-scale column. The results show that the imprinted ion exchange resin has the fast kinetics, high adaptability toward pH, and good adsorption and elution performance.

Studies of Selective Adsorption Resins. XXII. Removal and Recovery of Arsenic Ion in Geothermal Power Waste Solution with Chelating Resin Containing Mercapto Groups

Abstract

Removal and recovery of harmful arsenic ion in a geothermal power waste solution with three macroreticular chelating resins containing mercapto groups were investigated. The resin (RES), which was prepared from 2,3-epithiopropyl methacrylate-divinylbenzene copolymer beads, exhibited high affinity for arsenic(III) ion and high resistance against hot water. In the column method, arsenic(III) ion in an aqueous solution was favorably adsorbed on the RES when the sodium arsenite solution (pH 6.2) containing 3 mg/dm³ of arsenic(III) ion was passed through the RES column at a space velocity of 15 h^?1. The arsenic(III) ion adsorbed was eluted by allowing 2 mol/dm³ sodium hydroxide solution containing 5% of sodium hydrogen sulfide to pass through the column. The recycle of adsorption and elution was found to be satisfactory. The RES also exhibited high adsorption ability for arsenic ion in the geothermal power waste solution.     

Removal of anionic dyes from aqueous solution using poly [N-vinyl pyrrolidone/2-(methacryloyloxyethyl) trimethyl ammonium chloride] superswelling hydrogels

Summary A superswelling poly [N-vinyl pyrrolidone/2-(methacryloyloxyethyl)trimethyl ammonium chloride], poly(NVP/METAC) hydrogels were prepared by free radical polymerization using ethylene glycol dimethacrylate as crosslinker. The hydrogels were characterized by FT-IR spectroscopy and their surface morphology was determined using Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM). The influence of feed composition of both the monomers and crosslinker on equilibrium swelling and dye adsorption properties of the hydrogels were examined. The equilibrium swelling ratio and binding ratio of the hydrogel/dye systems greatly depends on the METAC and crosslinker concentration in the gels. The effects of pH of the medium and initial dye concentration on the adsorption were also studied. The binding ratio of the hydrogel/dye system increases in the following order: OR-II>RO-14>RO-13.     

Protein adsorption onto diethylaminoethyl dextran modified anion exchanger: Effect of ionic strength and column behavior

Our previous studies on bovine serum albumin(BSA) adsorption to diethylaminoethyl dextran(DEAE dextran,DexD, grafting-ligand) and DEAE(D, surface-ligand) modified Sepharose FF resins found that all the grafted resins(FF-DexD and FF-D-DexD) exhibited extremely fast uptake rate(effective diffusivity, D_e, D_e/D_O 1.4),which was six times greater than the ungrafted resins(D_e/D_O 0.3). In this work, the influence of ionic strength(IS) on 6 typical DEAE dextran-grafted resins was investigated. Bath adsorption equilibria and kinetics, breakthrough, and linear gradient elution experiments were conducted. Commercial DEAE Sepharose FF was used for comparison. It is found that protein adsorption capacities on DEAE dextran-FF resins and the commercial resin decreased with increasing IS, but DEAE dextran-FF resins exhibited much higher capacity sensitivity to salt concentration. Besides, steeper decrease of adsorption capacities could be obtained at higher graftingligand or surface-ligand density. It is worth noting that the facilitating role of surface-ligand to the "chain delivery" effect was weakened after adding salt, leading to the less improvement in uptake rate by increasing surface-ligand density at higher IS. Although the uptake rates of the DEAE dextran-FF resins increased first and then decreased with increasing IS, they kept the extremely high level of De values(D_e/D_O 1.1) at the their working/binding IS range. Moreover, the DEAE dextran-FF resin displayed much higher adsorption capacities and De values than commercial ungrafted resin in their working condition. Furthermore, the column results of DEAE dextran-FF resins presented higher dynamic binding capacities than and similar elution ISs with DEAE Sepharose FF to achieve similar(or even higher) recoveries suggest the excellent chromatographic column performance of the DEAE dextran-FF resins. Finally, both high recovery and purity of BSA and γ-globulin could be easily achieved using the typical DEAE dextran-FF column, FF-D60-DexD160, to separate their binary mixtures,by step gradient elution. The research has provided new insights into the practical application of the series of DEAE-dextran grafted resins in protein chromatography and proved their superiority.
