title: Artificial immunoglobulin G-binding protein mimetic to staphylococcal protein A. Its production and application to affinity purification of immunoglobulin G.
abstract: Staphylococcal protein A consists of a single polypeptide with five immunoglobulin G (IgG)-binding domains, which are linked as E-D-A-B-C in this order from the amino terminal. The DNA coding domains A-B were polymerized one to six times linearly, taking advantage of the non-palindromic nucleotide sequence of the AccI recognition site and the resultant DNAs were inserted in pTRP vector carrying trp promoter. The artificial IgG-binding proteins [pA(AB)1-6], which had been expressed in Escherichia coli JM109, were purified by methods involving IgG-Sepharose affinity chromatography. Among pA(AB)1-6 immobilized on cyanogen bromide-Sepharose, pA(AB)4-Sepharose was the highest in IgG-binding capacity at the same level of mg protein per ml gel, about 30% higher than protein A-Sepharose. At 8 mg protein per ml gel, it bound and eluted about 24 mg of IgG from rabbit serum. Its IgG-binding capacities were the highest with porcine, rabbit, human and guinea pig sera, intermediate with bovine, horse and sheep sera and the lowest with mouse, goat, rat and chicken sera.
