Abstract
The chromatographic behavior of monoclonal antibodies (MAbs) of immunoglobulin (Ig) M class against mutant (T103I) amidase from Pseudomonas aeruginosa was investigated on immobilized metal chelates. The effect of ligand concentration, the length of spacer arm, and the nature of metal ion were investigated in immobilized metal affinity chromatography (IMAC). The MAbs against mutant amidase adsorbed to Cu(II), Ni(II), Zn(II), Co(II), and Ca(II)-iminodiacetic acid (IDA) agarose columns. The increase in ligand concentration (epichlorohydrin: 30–60 and 1,4-butanediol-diglycidyl ether: 16–36) resulted in higher adsorption to IgM into immobilized metal chelates. The length of spacer arm was found to affect protein adsorption, as longer spacer arm (i.e., 1,4-butanediol-diglycidyl ether) increased protein adsorption of immobilized metal chelates. The adsorption of IgM onto immobilized metal chelates was pH dependent because an increase in the binding of IgM was observed as the pH varied from 6.0 to 8.0. The adsorption of IgM to immobilized metal chelates was the result of coordination of histidine residues to metal chelates that are available in the third constant domain of heavy chain (CH3) of immunoglobulins, as the presence of imidazole (5 mM) in the equilibration buffer abolished the adsorption of IgM to the column. The combination of tailor-made stationary phases for IMAC and a correct design of the adsorption parameters permitted to devise a one-step purification procedure for IgM. Culture supernatants containing IgM against mutant amidase (T103I) were purified either by IMAC on EPI-60-IDA-Co (II) column or by gel filtration chromatography on Sephacryl S-300HR. The specific content of IgM and final recovery of antibody activity exhibited similar values for both purification schemes. The purified preparations of IgM obtained by both schemes were apparently homogeneous on native polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis with a M r of 851,000 Da. The results presented in this work strongly suggest that one-step purification of IgM by IMAC is a cost-effective and process-compatible alternative to other types of chromatography.Keywords
