Area of Science:

  • Biochemistry
  • Analytical Chemistry
  • Biotechnology

Background:

  • Electrophoresis is a common separation technique.
  • Mobile affinity matrices can enhance separation specificity.
  • Polyionic polymers offer potential as matrices.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To introduce and evaluate affinophoresis, a new electrophoresis method.
  • To demonstrate the use of polyionic polymers as mobile affinity matrices.
  • To show specific separation of biological substances using affinophoresis.

Main Methods:

  • Conjugation of polyionic polymers (e.g., succinylated polylysine) with affinity ligands to create affinophores.
  • Electrophoresis of proteins (proteases, lectins, antibodies) in the presence of affinophores.

  • Application to red blood cell separation using antibody-avidin-affinophore complexes.

    • Main Results:

    • Affinophoresis specifically altered the mobility of target proteins (proteases, lectins, antibodies) based on their affinity to the ligand.
    • Two-dimensional affinophoresis effectively separated components in complex protein mixtures.
    • Specific acceleration of homologous red blood cells was observed in mixed-species samples.

    Conclusions:

    • Affinophoresis is a powerful technique for specific biological substance separation.
    • The method demonstrates versatility across various proteins and cell types.
    • Polyionic polymers serve as effective mobile affinity matrices in electrophoresis.
