The separation of antibodies from various biomasses can be accomplished using hydrophobic charge induction chromatography with 4-mercapto-ethyl-pyridine as the ligand. Binding is based on mild hydrophobic contact and is accomplished in near-physiological circumstances, without the use of salts. When the pH is reduced, the ligand and the antibody gain a net positive charge under mild acidic circumstances (pH 4.0-4.5).
●
Sample preparation is reduced to scarification since feedstocks may be applied without ionic strength or pH adjustment.
●
Preconcentration of dilute samples is unnecessary because effective capture is accomplished even with feedstocks as dilute as 40μg of antibody per ml.
●
Gentle, pH-controlled elution with dilute buffer lowers the possibility of antibody aggregation at lower pH and avoids the requirement for IgG desalting or diafiltration.
Magnetic resins have significant advantages over traditional chromatography, such as column, agarose, or non-magnetic resin. The magnetic bead-based format enables rapid high-yield processing of 96 samples in about 20 minutes, achieving more than 90% purities and recoveries of more than 95% for various IgG species. When using column-based technologies, processing multiple samples in academic research labs may necessitate a significant quantity of hand pipetting. This pipetting can discourage differences in the yield of target biomolecules between experiments and people. Staff and students may require extensive training and practice to produce constant protein yields. It is due to the numerous benefits of magnetic resins, such as their ease of use, rapid experimental protocols, suitability, and convenience for high-throughput automated and miniaturized processing.
The separation of antibodies present in complex mixtures using chromatography involves the antibodies binding the beads. After Binding, the beads are washed to remove non-antibody protein. Finally, the antibody was eluted from the beads.
●

Procedure
! Important !
●
The following protocol is optimized for the efficient clean-up of the 3μl serum sample. The procedure may need to be optimized if an alternative reaction scale is used.
●
Shake or vortex the bottle to completely resuspend the magnetic beads before using.
●
Do not allow the magnetic beads to sit for more than two minutes before dispensing.
A.
Sample preparation
1.
Dilute whole serum with an equal volume of 2x Binding/Wash Buffer and mix well.
B.
Magnetic Particles Preparation
1.
Shake the bottle to completely resuspend the magnetic particles.
2.
Transfer desired amount of magnetic particles to a centrifuge tube (Note: 1 ml of BcMag™ Quick Antibody Purification Magnetic particles per 0.5-1 ml of whole serum is recommended. The volumes can be scaled accordingly. IgG levels in serum are usually 10-15mg/ml). Place the tube on the magnetic rack for 1-3 minutes until the supernatant becomes clear. Remove the supernatant while the tube remains on the rack.
3.
Remove the tube and resuspend the beads with 10 beads volumes of 1x Binding/Wash buffer.
C.
Sample Binding
1.
Add the washed particles from step B.4 to the diluted sample from step A1. Completely resuspend the beads and leave them at room temperature for 10-30 minutes with end-over-end rotation.
2.
Place the tube on a magnetic rack for 1-3 minutes. Remove the supernatant while the tube remains on the rack.
3.
Place the tube on the magnetic rack for 1-3 minutes. Remove the supernatant while the tube remains on the rack. Remove the tube from the rack and wash the particles with 10 beads volumes of 1x Binding/Wash Buffer.
4.
Repeat step 3 five times
D.
IgG Elution
1.
Remove the tube from the rack and resuspend the particles with 10 beads volumes of Elution buffer to elute IgG. Place the tube on the magnetic rack for 1-3 minutes. Remove the supernatant while the tube remains on the rack.
Mini-scale high throughput purification
1.
Transfer 50μl beads (Step B4) to a new well of 96well PCR plate or 96-well microplates or 0.2ml PCR tube and add 20μl diluted serum from A1.
2.
Mix the beads with the sample by slowly pipetting up and down 25 times (one minute) or by vortex mixer for 5 minutes at 2000 rpm.
3.
Place the sample plate/ tube on the magnetic separation plate for 30 seconds or until the solution is clear.
4.
Discard the supernatant and wash the beads three times with 100 μl of 1x Binding/Wash Buffer using a magnetic rack.
5.
Add 50 μl of Elution buffer to elute the antibody by slowly pipetting up and down 25 times (one minute) or vortex mixer for 5 minutes at 2000 rpm.
6.
Place the sample plate/ tube on the magnetic separation plate for 30 seconds or until the solution is clear.
7.
Transfer the supernatant to a clean plate /tube while the sample plate remains on the magnetic separation plate. The sample is ready for downstream applications.
Additional information
Beads Regeneration
1.
If the bead has to be regenerated, add 10ml of 35 mM sodium phosphate; 30% n-propanol, pH 8.5 for 1 ml beads and mix the beads with the sample by slowly pipetting up and down 25 times. Place the sample plate/ tube on the magnetic separation plate for 30 seconds or until the solution is clear. Discard the supernatants.
2.
Repeat Step 1 five times.
3.
Wash the beads with 10 beads volumes of 1x Binding/Wash Buffer three times
4.
Resuspend the beads in 1x Binding/Wash Buffer and store at 4°C. The beads may be renewed three times without losing substantial selectivity.
