Abstract

Immunoglobulin M (IgM) antibodies hold promise as anticancer drugs and as agents for promoting immune homeostasis. This promise has not been realized due to low expression levels in mammalian cells producing IgM class antibodies, and the failure of protein A chromatography for IgM purification. Here, we describe a nonchromatographic platform for quantitatively capturing IgMs at neutral pH, which is then recovered with 86%-94% yield and >95% purity at pH 3. The platform contains micelles conjugated with the [(bathophenanthroline) 3 :Fe 2+ ] amphiphilic complex. Inclusion of amino acid monomers, for example, phenylalanine or tyrosine, during conjugation of detergent micelles, allows subsequent extraction of IgMs at close to neutral pH. With the successful implementation of this purification platform for both polyclonal humans and bovine IgMs, we anticipate similar results for monoclonal IgMs, most relevant for the pharmaceutical industry., (© 2022 The Authors.

Abstract

Bacteriorhodopsin is a membrane protein of the purple membrane (PM) of Halobacterium salinarum, which is isolated as sheets of highly organized two-dimensional hexagonal microcrystals and for which water molecules play a crucial role that affects its function as a proton pump. In this paper we used single- and double-quantum (2)H NMR as well as (1)H and (2)H diffusion NMR to characterize the interaction of water molecules with the PM in D(2)O suspensions. We found that, under the influence of a strong magnetic field on a concentrated PM sample (0.61 mM), the PM sheets affect the entire water population and a residual quadrupolar splitting (upsilon(q) approximately 5.5 Hz, 298 K, at 11.7 T) is observed for the D(2)O molecules. We found that the residual quadrupolar coupling, the creation time in which a maximal DQF signal was obtained (tau(max)), and the relative intensity of the (2)H DQF spectrum of the water molecules in the PM samples (referred to herein as NMR order parameters) are very sensitive to temperature, dilution, and chemical modifications of the PM. In concentrated PM samples in D(2)O, these NMR parameters seem to reflect the relative organization of the PM. Interestingly, we have observed that some of these parameters are sensitive to the efficiency of the trimer packing, as concluded from the apo-membrane behavior. The data for dionized blue membrane, partially delipidated sample, and detergent-treated PM show that these D(2)O NMR order parameters, which are magnetic field dependent, are sensitive to the structural integrity of the PM. In addition, we revealed that heating the PM sample inside or outside the NMR magnet has, after cooling, a different effect on the NMR characteristics of the water molecules in the concentrated PM suspensions. The difference in the D(2)O NMR order parameters for the PM samples, which were heated and cooled in the presence and in the absence of a strong magnetic field, corroborates the conclusions that the above D(2)O order parameters are indirect reflections of both microscopic and macroscopic order of the PM samples. In addition, (1)H NMR diffusion measurements showed that at least three distinct water populations could be identified, based on their diffusion coefficients. These water populations seem to correlate with different water populations previously reported for the PM system.
