  • Analysis of protein is often frustrated by the inability to isolate large amounts of purified protein from a native source. To overcome this problem, fusion protein expression systems such as pGEX system have been widely used. Using pGEX system, the desired protein could be easily obtained in a large amount in E. coli, and then the fusion protein could be used for the study of the function of the given protein. To analyze and purify the GST fusion protein, anti-GST antibody could be used as one of the system of choice. However, the production and characterization of monoclonal anti-GST antibody has not been studied extensively yet. To produce monoclonal anti-GST antibody, GST was purified from E. coli transformed with pGEX-cs, one of the pGEX system and was used as an antigen. The monoclonal antibody was produced by fusion of the immunized spleen cells with SP2-0 myeloma cells. The antibody was characterized by ELISA, western blotting, etc. The monoclonal antibody produced in this study (mAb-GSTA) showed strong and specific immunoreactivity against not only GST but also GST-fusion proteins. Also, mAb-GSTA was successfully used for the immunoaffinity purification of the GST ${\beta}$-Rc.-third intracellular-loop fusion protein. The results of the present study suggest that mAb-GSTA may be used for the identification and purification of GST fusion proteins.

  • To obtain more sensitive immunoassay for methamphetamine (MA) determination, the optimum condition of enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was investigated in regard to immunogens, antibody purification methods and coating tracers. Activated MA, N-(4-aminobutyl)methamphetamine (4-ABMA), was conjugated with bovine serum albumin (BSA) or keyhole limpet hemocyanin (KLH) and used as immunogen. The antibodies were purified by protein G chromatography or various immunoaffinity chromatography-linked MA-protein ligands, such as MA-BSA, MA-KLH or MA-ovalbumin (OVA). Each purified antibody was characterized by means of sensitivity and cross-reactivity using the three MA-protein coating tracers, MA-BSA, MA-KLH and MA-OVA. The best sensitivity of each antibody was acquired with the MA-OVA tracer although the tracer concentration and the antibody titer level at optimum condition were varied. The antibody with high titer level did not always yield good sensitivity. At optimum condition, immunoaffinity chromatography-purified antibodies were better for sensitivity and for specificity than protein G-purified antibodies. The cross-reactivity of the purified antibodies seemed to be affected by immunogen structure and showed somewhat different patterns according to the immunoaffinity ligand utilized. These data show that the antibody purification method as well as choice of coating tracer and immunogen is essential for the sensitivity and specificity of EIA; the optimum condition for assay should be discovered using various methods and combinations.

  • Purification of the isocitrate lyase extracted from Microbacterium laevaniformans was investigated. The isocitrate lyase was purified 43.6 folds by the following continuous treatment with ammonium sulfate fraction, DEAE-cellulose, DEAE-sephacel and Sephadex G-200 chromatography. The purified isocitrate lyase was showed to be a single protein band by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. The molecular weight of the purified isocitrate lyase was estimated 54,000 Da by the SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. The Km and Vmax values for isocitrate were estimated to be 0.83mM and 0.33units/ml, respectively. Activity of isocitrate lyase was inhibited by cystein-HCl and glutathione.

  • Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are natural carriers of biomolecules that play central roles in cell-to-cell communications. Based on this, there have been various attempts to use EVs as therapeutic drug carriers. From chemical reagents to nucleic acids, various macromolecules were successfully loaded into EVs; however, loading of proteins with high molecular weight has been huddled with several problems. Purification of recombinant proteins is expensive and time consuming, and easily results in modification of proteins due to physical or chemical forces. Also, the loading efficiency of conventional methods is too low for most proteins. We have recently proposed a new method, the so-called exosomes for protein loading via optically reversible protein-protein interaction (EXPLORs), to overcome the limitations. Since EXPLORs are produced by actively loading of intracellular proteins into EVs using blue light without protein purification steps, we demonstrated that the EXPLOR technique significantly improves the loading and delivery efficiency of therapeutic proteins. In further in vitro and in vivo experiments, we demonstrate the potential of EXPLOR technology as a novel platform for biopharmaceuticals, by successful delivery of several functional proteins such as Cre recombinase, into the target cells.

  • The maltose binding protein (MBP) fusion protein system is a versatile tool to express and isolate recombinant proteins in E. coli. In this system, MBP fusion proteins are efficiently isolated from whole cell lysate using amylose conjugated agarose beads and then eluted by competition with free maltose. Since MBP is a rather large molecule (∼42 kDa), for further experiments, the MBP part is usually proteolytically cleaved from the fusion protein and subsequently removed by ion-exchange chromatography or rebinding to amylose columns after washing out excess and MBP-bound maltose. In the present study, we have developed an improved method for the removal of cleaved MBP, which is advantageous over conventional methods. In this method, factor Xa cleaved MBP fusion proteins were incubated with Sepharose beads conjugated with MBP specific monoclonal antibodies and then precipitated buy centrifugation, resulting in highly purified proteins in the supernatant.

  • 스파르가눔 생리식염수 추출액 내에 포함되어 있는 성분단백질 중 스파르가눔증 환자 혈청내 특이 IgG항체와 민감하고 특이하게 반응하는 항원단벼질인 36, 29 kDa단백질을 단세포군 항체를 이용한 면역친화성 크로마토그 래피로 순수분리할 수 있음은 이미 보고하였다. 이 연구에서는 스파르가눔 추출액 내에 포함된 이 36, 29 kDa단백질이 젤라틴을 고리로 한 친화성 크로마토그래피로 훨씬 쉽게 순수분리할 수 있음을 증명하고자 하였다. 젤라틴을 고리로 부착시킨 Sepharose 4B column에 스파르가눔 추출액을 통과시키고 젤라틴에 부착한 단백질은 4 M urea/0.1M NaCl 용액을 분리완충액으로 분리하였다. 이렇게 분리한 단백질은 SDS-PAGE에서 36, 29 kDa band로 구성되어 있었고, SDS-PAGE/immunoblot 결과 환자의 polyclonal 항체는 이들 band에만 반응하였다. 스파르가눔증, 기타 기생충증 환자 및 건강대조군 혈청내 스파르가눔 특이항체가(IgG)를 면역효소측정 법으로 측정 한 결과 순수분리한 이 단백질은 특히 특이도가 95.8%로 생리식염수 추출액의 89%보다 우수하였고 민감도는 차이가 없었다. 이상의 결과는 젤라틴을 고리로 이용한 친화성 크로마토그래피는 스파르가눔 생리식염수 추출액 내의 36 및 29 kDa 단백질을 간편하게 순수분리할 수 있고 단백질의 항원성도 유지할 수 있음을 보이고 있었다.
