A study of the interactions between an IgG-binding domain based on the B domain of staphylococcal protein a and rabbit IgG

The nonantigenic interaction between a recombinant immunoglobulin G (IgG)-binding protein based on the B domain of Protein A fromStaphylococcus aureus (termed SpA¹) and the Fc fragment of rabbit IgG has been investigated. The contribution to binding of four putative hydrogen bond contacts between SpA¹ and IgG-Fc were examined by the individual substitution of the residues in SpA¹ involved in these interactions by others unable to form hydrogen bonds. It was found that the most important of the hydrogen bonds involved Tyr 18 which, when replaced by Phe, resulted in a twofold decrease in IgG-binding affinity. The residues of SpA¹ proposed to make close, mainly hydrophobic, contacts with Fc were replaced by residues with potential electrostatic charge to establish the importance of the hydrophobic interaction in the complex. The IgG-binding affinities of the mutant proteins were compared to the wild-type protein by a competitive enzyme-linked immunosorbant assay. The replacement of individual hydrophobic residues by His generated a number of novel IgG-binding proteins with reduced binding affinity at pH 5.0 but which maintained strong binding affinities at pH 8.0. The elution profile of human IgG₁-Fc (Fc fragment of human IgG₁) from a column made from an immobilized two-domain mutant protein shows that the complex dissociates at a higher pH relative to that of the non-mutated protein thus offering favorable elution characteristics.     

Toward improving selectivity in affinity chromatography with PEGylated affinity ligands: The performance of PEGylated protein A

Chemical modification of macromolecular affinity chromatography ligands with polyethylene glycol chains or “PEGylation” can potentially improve selectivity by sterically suppressing non‐specific binding interactions without sacrificing binding capacity. For a commercial protein A affinity media and with yeast extract (YE) and fetal bovine serum (FBS) serving as mock contaminants, we found that the ligand accounted for more than 90% of the media‐associated non‐specific binding, demonstrating an opportunity for improvement. The IgG static binding affinity of protein A mono‐PEGylated with 5.0 and 20.7 kDa poly(ethylene glycol) chains was found to be preserved using a biomolecular interaction screening platform. Similar in situ PEGylations of the commercial protein A media were conducted and the modified media was functionally characterized with IgG solutions spiked with YE and FBS. Ligand PEGylation reduced the mass of media‐associated contaminants by a factor of two to three or more. Curiously, we also found an increase of up to 15% in the average recovery of IgG on elution after PEGylation. Combined, these effects produced an order of magnitude increase in the IgG selectivity on average when spiked with YE and a two‐ to three‐fold increase when spiked with FBS relative to the commercial media. Dynamic binding capacity and mass‐transfer resistance measurements revealed a reduction in dynamic capacity attributed to a decrease in IgG effective pore diffusivity and possibly slower IgG association kinetics for the PEGylated protein A ligands. Ligand PEGylation is a viable approach to improving selectivity in affinity chromatography with macromolecular ligands. © 2014 American Institute of Chemical Engineers Biotechnol.

Quantitation of soluble aggregates in recombinant monoclonal antibody cell culture by pH-gradient protein A chromatography

Monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) produced from mammalian cell culture may contain significant amounts of dimers and higher order aggregates. Quantitation of soluble aggregates in the cell culture is time-consuming and labor-intensive, usually involving a purification step to remove the impurities that interfere with the subsequent size exclusion chromatography (SEC) analysis. We have developed a novel pH-gradient protein A chromatography for rapid, non-size based separation of the aggregates in mAb cell culture samples. Our results demonstrate that this method has excellent correlation with SEC and can be applied to both human immunoglobulin gamma 1 (IgG1) and IgG2 antibodies. This approach can be useful in the quantitation of soluble aggregates in crude cell culture samples.     

A very sensitive enzyme-linked immunoabsorbent assay to Staphylococcal protein A in the presence of immunoglobulins

The production of recombinant hepatitis B virus surface antigen (rHBsAg) purified by immunoaffinity chromatography with monoclonal antibodies is used to obtain a vaccine against this virus. Monoclonal antibodies to rHBsAg from mouse ascites have been purified by Staphylococcal Protein A (SpA)--prior coupling to Sepharose CL-4B (Amersham-Bioscences, Uppsala, Sweden). A high sensitivity immunoassay has been developed for the quantification of part-per-million of SpA contaminants likely to co-purify with monoclonal antibodies obtained by Protein A affinity chromatography, in the presence of immunoglobulins. Specific sheep polyclonal Abs against SpA (SpAc1) were used as plate coating and the SpA detection was possible thanks to the conjugates of sheep Ab fragments F(ab)(2) (fSpAc1) and horseradish peroxidase (fSpAc1-peroxidase), reducing the possible unspecific interaction between SpA and Fc fragments. The immunoassay was shown to be specific for SpA contaminants. The quantification limit of the assay was 0.39 ng/ml spreading to the measurement of contamination levels less than 2 ppm of SpA in final preparations of monoclonal antibodies used for the immunopurification of pharmaceutical products, which is quite low for this application.

A Monoclonal Antibody to Rabbit Brain GABA Transaminase

A monoclonal antibody of class IgG (subclass IgG1) has been prepared to rabbit brain GABA transaminase (GABA-T). This antibody reveals a single band of molecular weight 52,000 on a nitrocellulose filter blotted with purified GABA-T. On a filter blotted with unfractionated rabbit brain supernatant a major band of molecular weight 58,000 is revealed. An immunoaffinity column was prepared by coupling proteins from ascites fluid containing anti-rabbit GABA-T antibody to Bio-Rad Affi-Gel 15. This column bound purified GABA-T and extracted from unfractionated rabbit brain supernatant a protein of molecular weight 58,000, which was almost homogeneous and which had GABA-T enzyme activity. Using immunoaffinity chromatography, therefore, a high degree of purification of GABA-T may be achieved in a single step. Further, this technique may preserve an authentic form of the enzyme that is lost during the conventional purification procedure. The antibody inhibits GABA-T enzyme activity, up to a maximum of 35%.

抗甲肝病毒基因工程单抗分离纯化与鉴定

为克服血源免疫球蛋白制品的不足,开发了抗甲肝病毒基因工程单克隆抗体anti-HAV IgG。用无血清培养基培养rCHO工程细胞株,上清液经过rProtein A SFF亲和层析→脱盐→离子交换层析→超滤换液纯化后,所得anti-HAV IgG纯度达99%以上,比活性约100IU/mg,anti-HAV IgG活性回收率40%。所纯化的anti-HAV IgG分子量150kD,等电点8.4～9.3。免疫印迹实验证实anti-HAV IgG为人源全抗体分子。亲和层析介质rProtein A SFF确实存在亲和配基脱落问题,但通过后续纯化步骤可有效除去。在亲和层析过程中加入高盐清洗步骤,可有效降低宿主DNA残留量水平。对样品中自由巯基含量进行了测定,认为非还原电泳图谱中低分子量条带是由于抗体分子内存在自由巯基引起。用该工艺制备的anti-HAV IgG各项纯度检测指标均达到我国对基因工程产品的质量要求。     

Affinity chromatography of neoglycoproteins

Glycoproteins, as a class of biomolecules, exhibit much more heterogeneous structures than non-glycosylated proteins. They present a challenging area of research. Model glycoproteins with well-defined protein and carbohydrate structures are helpful in the search for high-resolution methods for the separation of glycoproteins. Neoglycoproteins, maltose-modified chymotrypsin and lactose-modified chymotrypsin, were synthesised by modifying chymotrypsin with maltose and lactose, respectively, using the reductive amination method. Boronate chromatography was applied to isolate the neoglycoproteins from non-glycosylated substances. The use of Tris–HCl as a shielding reagent during the boronate chromatography proved to be efficient in eliminating unwanted interactions between the boronate ligand and the peptide backbone of chymotrypsin. The retention time of neoglycoproteins on the boronate column was increased with increasing the degree of modification.
