Abstract: | Two simple and generally applicable methods of preparation of affinity gels for affinity electrophoresis in agarose and polyacrylamide gels are described. In the first method, amino ligands are coupled to periodate-oxidized agarose gel beads (Sepharose 4B), and homogeneous affinity gels are obtained after mixing the melted substituted beads with either melted agarose solution or with the polymerization mixture used for the preparation of polyacrylamide gels. This type of affinity gel was used for affinity electrophoresis of lectins (immobilized p-aminophenyl glycosides), ribonuclease (immobilized uridine 3′,5′-diphosphate 5′-p-aminophenyl ester), trypsin (immobilized p-aminobenzamidine), and double-stranded phage DNA fragments (immobilized acriflavine). Alternatively, heterogeneous affinity gels are prepared from the suspension of ligand-substituted agarose, dextran, or polyacrylamide gel beads in the polymerization solution normally used for preparation of polyacrylamide electrophoretic gels. This technique was used for affinity electrophoresis of lectins, ribonuclease, and trypsin on affinity gels containing appropriate ligands coupled to the gel beads “activated” by various methods. Applicability of affinity gels prepared by the two methods described above for affinity isoelectric focusing is demonstrated. |
