Purification of anti-glycoconjugate monoclonal antibodies using newly developed porous zirconia particles.

ABSTRACT: Here, we describe porous zirconia particles (PZPs) optimized for the purification of immunoglobulins. PZPs, with a pore size of approximately 10 nm, were designed to specifically interact with antibodies via surface modification with a phosphate functional group. A simple PZP purification method based on precipitation enabled efficient purification of mouse anti-glycosphingolipid globoside/Gb4Cer monoclonal IgM (κ-light chains) from hybridoma culture supernatants. Over 99% of contaminating proteins were removed by the PZP purification process, and approximately 50% of the IgM was recovered in the purified fraction after eluting the PZP-adsorbed antibodies with 100 mM phosphate buffer. Other IgG3 and IgM monoclonal antibodies that react with Gb4Cer or α2,6-sialyl LacNAc-modified glycoprotei
