Nonporous corundum powder was functionalized covalently with protein binders to isolate and enrich specific proteins from complex matrices.The common crosslinker glutaraldehyde was compared with a hyperbranched polyglycerol (PG) of around 10 kDa. The latter was oxidized with periodate to generate aldehyde groups that can covalently react with the amines of the surface and the amino groups from the protein via a reductive amination process. The amount of bound protein was quantified via aromatic amino acid analysis (AAAA). As a proof of concept, IgG was extracted with protein A from crude human plasma. The advantages of corundum include the very low price, extremely high physical and chemical stability, pressure resistance, favorable binding kinetics, convenient handling, and flexible application.
Nonporous corundum powder, known as an abrasive material in the industry, was functionalized covalently with protein binders to isolate and enrich specific proteins from complex matrices. The materials based on corundum were characterized by TEM, ESEM, BET, DLS, EDS, and zeta potential measurements. The strong Al-O-P bonds between the corundum surface and amino phosphonic acids were used to introduce functional groups for further conjugations. The common crosslinker glutaraldehyde was compared with a hyperbranched polyglycerol (PG) of around 10 kDa. The latter was oxidized with periodate to generate aldehyde groups that can covalently react with the amines of the surface and the amino groups from the protein via a reductive amination process. The amount of bound protein was quantified via aromatic amino acid analysis (AAAA). This work shows that oxidized polyglycerol can be used as an alternative to glutaraldehyde. With polyglycerol, more of the model protein bovine serum albumin (BSA) could be attached to the surface under the same conditions, and lower non-specific binding (NSB) was observed. As a proof of concept, IgG was extracted with protein A from crude human plasma. The purity of the product was examined by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE). A binding capacity of 1.8 mg IgG per gram of corundum powder was achieved. The advantages of corundum include the very low price, extremely high physical and chemical stability, pressure resistance, favorable binding kinetics, convenient handling, and flexible application.

Die neue Crosslinking-Methode ist hilfreich, um Immunglobuline des Isotyps G ortspezifisch an ihrer Bindungsstelle mit Protein A oder G zu konjugieren. Die Kopplungen von Protein A und G konnten erfolgreich an Maus- und Human-IgG durchgeführt, sowie die Bedingungen untersucht und optimiert werden. Die Aktivierung von Protein G mit Glutaraldehyd erfolgt am besten bei pH 8 und die anschließende Kopplung mit Maus-IgG1 bei einem pH-Wert von 6. Jedoch wurden mit SIAB und Sulfo-SIAB als Crosslinker im Vergleich zu Glutaraldehyd noch höhere Signale erhalten. Für die Kopplung von SIAB sind 40% DMSO im Reaktionspuffer günstig, währenddessen Sulfo-SIAB gut wasserlöslich ist daher keine Lösungsvermittler benötigt. Es ergab sich ein optimaler pH-Wert von 7,4 um Protein A mit SIAB zu aktivieren und den gleichen pH-Wert um die Kopplung mit Maus-IgG1 durchzuführen. Für die Kopplung von Protein G mit Maus-IgG1 hingegen zeigten die Experimente, dass ein leicht saurer pH-Wert bei pH 6 für den IgG-Kopplungsschritt am günstigsten ist. Während die Inkubationszeit von Maus-IgG1 mit Protein G bei 16 h liegt, muss mit Protein A bis zu 40 h inkubiert werden, um das Kopplungsmaximum zu erreichen. Des Weiteren wurde das Crosslinking von Human-IgG (Herceptin) mit SIAB untersucht. Dabei zeigte sich, wie in der Abbildung 47 zu sehen ist, dass Protein A und G vergleichbar gut an Human-IgG zu koppeln sind. Für das Crosslinking von Protein G mit Maus-IgG1 ist dagegen ein deutlich besserer Umsatz im Vergleich zu Protein A zu erkennen (Abbildung 48). Heterobifunktionale Linker können mit der reaktiveren Gruppe die erste Bindung eingehen, um erst nach Zugabe eines weiteren Reagenzes die zweite Bindung auszubilden und zudem intramolekulare Reaktionen möglichst zu vermeiden.
The trafficking of illegal drugs by criminal networks at borders, harbors, or airports is an increasing issue in public health as these routes ensure the main supply of illegal drugs. The prevention of drug smuggling, including the installation of scanners and other analytical devices to detect ultra-small traces of drugs within a reasonable time frame, remains a challenge. The presented immunosensor is based on a monolithic affinity column with a large excess of immobilized hapten, which traps fluorescently labeled antibodies as long as the analyte cocaine is absent. In the presence of the drug, some binding sites of the antibody will be blocked, which leads to an immediate breakthrough of the labeled protein, detectable by highly sensitive laser-induced fluorescence with the help of a Peltier-cooled complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS) camera. Liquid handling is performed with high-precision syringe pumps and microfluidic chip-based mixing devices and flow cells. The biosensor achieved limits of detection of 23 pM (7 ppt) of cocaine with a response time of 90 seconds and a total assay time below 3 minutes. With surface wipe sampling, the biosensor was able to detect 300 pg of cocaine. This immunosensor belongs to the most sensitive and fastest detectors for cocaine and offers near-continuous analyte measurement.
A novel stationary phase for affinity separations is presented. This material is based on sintered borosilicate glass readily available as semi-finished filter plates with defined porosity and surface area. The material shows fast binding kinetics and excellent long-term stability under real application conditions due to lacking macropores and high mechanical rigidity. The glass surface can be easily modified with standard organosilane chemistry to immobilize selective binders or other molecules used for biointeraction. In this paper, the manufacturing of the columns and their respective column holders by 3D printing is shown in detail. The model system protein A/IgG was chosen as an example to examine the properties of such monolithic columns under realistic application conditions. Several specifications, such as (dynamic) IgG capacity, pressure stability, long-term performance, productivity, non-specific binding, and peak shape, are presented. It could be shown that due to the very high separation speed, 250 mg antibody per hour and column can be collected, which surpasses the productivity of most standard columns of the same size. The total IgG capacity of the shown columns is around 4 mg (5.5 mg/mL), which is sufficient for most tasks in research laboratories. The cycle time of an IgG separation can be less than 1 minute. Due to the glass material's excellent pressure resistance, these columns are compatible with standard HPLC systems. This is usually not the case with standard affinity columns, limited to manual use or application in low-pressure systems. The use of a standard HPLC system also improves the ability for automation, which enables the purification of hundreds of cell supernatants in one day. The sharp peak shape of the elution leads to an enrichment effect, which might increase the concentration of IgG by a factor of 3. The final concentration of IgG can be around 7.5 mg/mL without the need for an additional nanofiltration step. The purity of the IgG was > 95% in one step and nearly 99% with a second polishing run.
