Abstract: | A rapid and effective method to specifically isolate immunoglobulin G (IgG) from human serum by thiophilic paramagnetic polymer beads was developed. The thiophilic paramagnetic beads were synthesized with vinyl acetate and divinylbenzene by microsuspension polymerization in the presence of magnetite nanoparticles. Divinylsulfone and 2-mercapto-benzothiazole were subsequently used to modify the surface of these beads, resulting in thiophilic particles that exhibited a high specificity to the antibodies in serum at low salt concentration. The adsorbed IgG was eluted by 0.8 M KCl and 72% of the IgG in the serum was recovered. The purity of the isolated IgG reached 98.4% and the bioactivity was fully maintained (>99%). The high efficiency, mild conditions and simplicity make this technology suitable for the economic purification of antibodies in a large scale. |
