Abstract:
A method for manufacturing a high-affinity antibody including purifying an antibody to which a treatment of reducing the affinity for an antigen is not applied by a temperature responsive protein A medium, in which dissociation constant (KD value) to an antigen is smaller than the KD value of an antibody purified by an acid elution type protein A medium.
Abstract:
It is an object of the present invention to provide an affinity chromatographic adsorbent using temperature-responsive protein A, wherein the adsorbent is capable of improving the culture productivity of the temperature-responsive protein A and the stability of the temperature-responsive protein A in cell disruption solution. According to the present invention, there is provided an adsorbent consisting of a carrier, to which a polypeptide comprising a tag peptide, a linker sequence, and a B-domain mutant derived from protein A from the N-terminal side thereof binds, wherein the linker sequence is an amino acid sequence that does not comprise a Val-Pro-Arg sequence and is composed of 7 to 12 amino acid residues; and the binding property of the B-domain mutant derived from protein A to an immunoglobulin can vary depending on temperature under conditions of pH 5 to 9 and a temperature of lower than 60° C.
