Abstract

This study examined the preparation of high-capacity silica supports containing immobilized protein G. A maximum content of 39mg protein G/g silica was obtained when using 100Å pore size silica, followed by 33mg/g for 50Å silica and 9.3-24mg/g for 300-4000Å silica. The surface coverage of protein G increased with pore size, with a maximum level of 0.037μmol/m2 being obtained for 4000Å silica. These supports gave comparable apparent activities (i.e., 30-47% binding to rabbit immunoglobulin G [IgG]), with the highest binding capacities (71-77mg IgG/g silica) being obtained for 50-100Å silica.
