Definitions

  • This invention relates generally to a method for producing a functionalized nanoweb useful in chromatography.
  • an affinity capture and elute purification step is frequently employed. This step most typically involves the binding of the desired therapeutic by a protein ligand conjugated to a chromatography support. Some support materials require surface functionalization prior to attachment of the protein ligand to the functionalized support surface. Fibers have been used as support materials, e.g., in Z. Ma et al., J. Chromatogr. B, 877 (2009) 3686-3694, fibers are exposed to an air plasma in the presence of methacrylic acid to produce a functionalized fiber. In a separate step, in a liquid-phase reaction, a protein is bound to the functionalized fiber via amino groups on the protein.
  • the present invention is directed to a method for functionalizing a nanoweb having mean flow pore size from 0.1 and 5 pm and a porosity from 40 to 90 volume % to produce a functionalized nanoweb comprising a protein; said method comprising steps of: a) exposing said nanoweb and a compound comprising at least two maleimido groups to an atmospheric plasma to produce a coated nanoweb; and b) exposing the coated nanoweb to a molecule capable of forming covalent bonds, preferably a protein.

Other preferred proteins include antibodies, monoclonal and polyclonal, the recognition fragments F(ab’) and F(ab’)2 which can be produced recombinantly or following an enzymatic treatment to cleave the fragments from the intact antibody (Rosenstein et.al., Curr Protoc Mol Biol. 2020 Jun; 131(l):el l9.doi:
  • disulfide bonds which are reduced in the F(ab’)2 are distal to the binding site of the protein and can be cleaved to form the individual fragments without loss of the ability to bind to other proteins, most likely because disulfide linkages that help to maintain the protein configuration occur within a secondary structure such as a P-sheet which maintains the protein configuration and protects these disulfides from reduction.
  • the protein is in an aqueous solution at a concentration from 5 to 50 mM; preferably the pH of the solution is from 8 to 9.5, preferably from 8.5 to 9.3, preferably from 8.7 to 9.1 and the molecular weight of the protein is no greater than 150,000 Daltons, preferably no greater than 100,000 Daltons and preferably no greater than 75,000 Daltons.

  • the dielectric barrier discharge plasma process preferably is a homogenous glow discharge process.
  • Homogeneous glow discharge plasma processes are known in the art to produce spatially uniform low temperature electrons from injected gases at atmospheric pressures. Ions collide with the injected monomers producing ionized species that may self-polymerize in aerosol prior to substrate deposition.
  • Preferred gases suitable for plasma generation include carbon dioxide, nitrogen, argon, and/or helium. The flow, of gases in plasma form and the injected monomer aerosol, passes through a nozzle with a defined cross-sectional area.
  • the nozzle is rectangular in geometry with an interelectrode gap and a width larger than the width of the nonwoven.
  • the inter-electrode gap is preferably 0.5-10 mm, preferably, 0.8-2mm.
  • the cross-sectional area of the nozzle used in the examples below is 5 cm 2 with a nozzle width of 40cm.

  • Gas flow rates through the plasma head will depend on plasma head size and substrate width to be coated with monomer as well as on environmental temperature and pressure of the gas. Injected monomer flow rates depend on the amount of monomer to be attached per area of substrate. High injection rates of monomer may lead to self-polymerization prior to deposition on the substrate. Preferably, injection rates of aerosolized monomer range from 0.2 slm/cm 2 to 5 slm/cm 2 . Dilutions of monomers may be achieved by one or both means of liquid solution mixing, by dissolution or suspension of a solid monomer in water or an appropriate solvent, and by introduction of greater gas flow into the liquid monomer pure compound, suspension, or solvent mixture.

  • the activated PVDF web passes through a N2 plasma at flow rate of 80 slm/cm2 and 200 W/cm 2 with 4,4”-bismaleimidodiphenylmethane injected into the plasma as aerosol of 15 wt% solution with dimethyl sulfoxide.

  • the maleimide coated samples were conjugated with a reactive cysteine on recombinant Protein A.

  • the filter is then washed with about ten bed volumes of the PBS buffer and then the human IgG is eluted from the membrane with 5 bed volumes of buffer (e.g. 0.1 M glycine at pH 3), quickly neutralized to about pH 7 to avoid denaturation and the concentration measured spectrophotometrically, using the formula below or by integration of the elution curve and comparing with a calibration curve (e.g. Hahn et. al. Journal of Chromatography A. 2005, 1093, 98):
