Abstract:
A method for refolding an antibody, a process for producing a refolded antibody, a refolded antibody, and uses thereof are provided. A method for refolding an antibody in a liquid phase comprises the steps of denaturing an inactive antibody binding directly or through a linker to a peptide, the peptide having an isoelectric point lower than the isoelectric point of the inactive antibody, and dispersing in a liquid phase the peptide-binding inactive antibody denatured in the step above. Also provided is a process for producing a refolded antibody.
Abstract:
The purpose of the present invention is to provide: a peptide having an affinity for silicon nitride; a polynucleotide encoding the peptide; an expression vector for expressing the peptide having an affinity for silicon nitride; an expression vector for expressing a peptide fusion protein that comprises the peptide having an affinity for silicon nitride and a target protein; a transformant obtained by introducing the expression vector into a host cell; a peptide fusion protein obtained from the transformant; a silicon nitride substrate to which a peptide having an affinity for silicon nitride has been bonded; a method for immobilizing a target protein to a silicon nitride substrate; a composition for immobilizing a target protein to a silicon nitride substrate, the composition comprising a peptide having an affinity for silicon nitride; and a linker for immobilizing a target protein to a silicon nitride substrate, the linker comprising a peptide having an affinity for silicon nitride. The invention involves a peptide having an affinity for silicon nitride, the peptide comprising (1-1) a peptide having the amino acid sequence of one of SEQ ID NOS: 1, 2 and 23 to 27, (1-2) a peptide that has an affinity for silicon nitride and comprises an amino acid sequence obtained by deleting, adding, and/or substituting one or more amino acids in one of the amino acid sequences indicated in (1-1), or a fragment of one of the peptides.
Abstract:
Provided is a novel method of suppressing non-specific protein adsorption. The above-mentioned object can be achieved by treating a solid phase with a solid phase-treating liquid containing a phosphorylcholine group-containing polymer as a main component, and treating a specimen with a specimen-treating liquid containing, as a main component, a polymer having a phosphorylcholine group, a hydroxy group, and a hydrophobic group, followed by addition of the treated specimen to the treated solid phase.
Abstract:
The present invention provides an antibody-immobilized carrier that can be used in antibody screening, a method of producing the antibody-immobilized carrier, and use of the antibody-immobilized carrier. Efficient antibody screening can be carried out particularly by an antibody-immobilized carrier including two or more antibody immobilized regions onto each of which a heavy-chain low-molecular-weight antibody and a light-chain low-molecular-weight antibody are separately immobilized, the two or more antibody immobilized regions each being included in an independent manner, the heavy-chain low-molecular-weight antibody including a heavy-chain variable region, the light-chain low-molecular-weight antibody including a light-chain variable region, the heavy-chain low-molecular-weight antibody and the light-chain low-molecular-weight antibody each being derived from an antibody recognizing a different antigen.
Abstract:
Provided is a separating agent that does not have a significantly reduced dynamic binding capacity (DBC) to a target substance even when the separating agent is continually CIP-treated under alkaline pH conditions. The separating agent includes a carrier and a protein, wherein the protein is a given protein, and a surface of the carrier and a lysine residue in the protein are bound by a chemical bond.
Abstract:
An object of the present invention is to provide a separation agent for separating a human serum-derived IgG polyclonal antibody. This object is achieved by a separation agent for separating a human serum-derived IgG polyclonal antibody, the separation agent including: a carrier; and a single-chain antibody which has a dissociation constant for a human serum-derived IgG polyclonal antibody of not more than 3.0×10−8 M and which binds to the surface of the carrier via a chemical bond.

Abstract:
Provided is a separating agent with an improved dynamic binding capacity (DBC) to a target substance. The separating agent includes a carrier and a protein, wherein the protein is a given protein, and a surface of the carrier and added lysine residues in the protein are bound by chemical bonds.
Abstract:
Provided is a highly sensitive and less expensive lectin-immobilized base material (for example, a lectin plate), such as lectin-immobilized base material having stable qualities and being able to be sufficiently washed after a target sugar chain-containing antigen binds thereto. Further provided is a method for immobilizing lectin to a base material therefor. Particularly provided are: a method whereby a lectin-peptide fusion, in which a peptide capable of adsorbing to a base material surface such as a polystyrene (PS) tag is fused with the N-terminal side or C-terminal side of lectin capable of recognizing a target sugar chain, is immobilized on the peptide side to a base material; and a lectin-immobilized base material produced by this method. By using the lectin-immobilized base material, a target sugar chain-containing antigen can be highly sensitively and evenly measured and, moreover, target sugar chain-containing cells, etc. can be separated (concentrated and harvested).
