Development of a New Affinity Gold Polymer Membrane with Immobilized Protein A.

ABSTRACT: New and highly selective stationary phases for affinity membrane chromatography have the potential to significantly enhance the efficiency and specificity of therapeutic protein purification by reduced mass transfer limitations. This work developed and compared different immobilization strategies for recombinant Protein A ligands to a gold-sputtered polymer membrane for antibody separation in terms of functionalization and immobilization success, protein load, and stability. Successful, functionalization was validated via X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). Here, a recombinant Protein A ligand was coupled by N-hydroxysuccinimide (NHS)/N-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)-N'-ethylcarbodiimide (EDC) chemistry to carboxy-functionalized, gold-sputtered membranes. We achieved a binding capacity of up
