Abstract

Abstract Techniques for preparing stable conjugates of protein-D-GL which can then be isolated in pure form are disclosed, using hen egg ovalbumin (OVA) as a prototype protein, and conjugation and purification methods are described which involve (1) application of a coupling method employing m-maleimidobenzoyl-N-hydroxysuccinimide ester (MBS) as the coupling reagent, and (2) introduction of biotin moieties into D-GL molecules to allow application of avidinbiotin system for affinity chromatographic purification of conjugates. These methods are applicable to the preparation of D-GL conjugates of insulin and Ragweed Antigen E and are of general applicability.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 6
Claim 1
Independent Claim 41 words

Claim 3
Independent Claim 41 words
The method of purifying conjugate of D-glutamic acid-D-lysine copolymer and antigen comprising reacting said copolymer with biotin before forming said conjugate and, after formation of said conjugate, separating said conjugate from non-conjugated antigen by affinity chromatography on an avidin-Sepharose chromatographic column.
Claim 4
Independent Claim 41 words
The method of purifying conjugate of D-glutamic acid-D-lysine copolymer and antigen comprising reacting said copolymer with biotin before forming said conjugate and, after formation of said conjugate, separating said conjugate from non-conjugated antigen by affinity chromatography on an avidin-Sepharose chromatographic column.
Claim 5
Independent Claim 41 words
The method of purifying conjugate of D-glutamic acid-D-lysine copolymer and insulin comprising reacting said copolymer with biotin before forming said conjugate and, after formation of said conjugate, separating said conjugate from non-conjugated insulin by affinity chromatography on an avidin-Sepharose chromatographic column.
Claim 6
Independent Claim 41 words
