Abstract:
Compositions and methods are provided for producing materials having increased immunoglobulin binding capacities, the materials including full-length or truncated forms of protein A, protein G, protein A/G, protein L and other immunoglobulin-binding proteins or peptides, which moieties contain polypeptide domains, or polypeptide-oligopeptide combinations. Also provided are separation matrices containing the moieties and methods of using the separation matrices for separation of immunoglobulins or immunoglobulin containing proteins.
Abstract:
Protein enriched micro-vesicles and methods of making and using the same are provided. Aspects of the methods include maintaining a cell having a membrane-associated protein comprising a first dimerization domain and a target protein having a second dimerization domain under conditions sufficient to produce a micro-vesicle from the cell, wherein the micro-vesicle includes the target protein. Also provided are cells, reagents and kits that find use in making the micro-vesicles, as well as methods of using the micro-vesicles, e.g., in research and therapeutic applications.

Abstract:
A method of immobilizing a target molecule on a substrate, which comprises exposing the target molecule to the substrate in the presence of a metal complex, wherein the target molecule is an unmodified target molecule, and wherein the metal complex is selected to provide a stable binding interaction between the target molecule and the substrate.
Abstract:
A method for immobilizing an amino-containing material to a substrate is described. The method involves providing a tethering compound with two reactive groups: a substrate reactive group and a fluoroalkoxycarbonyl group. The method further involves preparing a substrate-attached tethering group by reacting the substrate reactive group of the tethering compound with a complementary functional group on the surface of a substrate. The substrate-attached tethering group has a fluoroalkoxycarbonyl group that can be reacted with an amino-containing material to form an immobilization group that connects the amino-containing material to the substrate.
Abstract:
The present invention pertains to an affinity tag system for the immobilisation and/or purification of molecules such as biological or organic molecules. The invention provides EF-hand subdomains of calcium binding proteins, such as calbindin D9k, as affinity tags and affinity ligands for immobilising, detecting and/or for purifying molecules, particularly proteins. Also provided are methods utilising the affinity tag system of the invention, affinity matrices comprising EF-hand subdomain affinity ligands and fusion proteins comprising EF-hand subdomain affinity tags.
