coli tagged with two SmbP variants that include the PelB or the TorA signal sequences for transport via the Sec or the Tat pathway, respectively. Based on these methods, we consider CusF3H+ and SmbP excellent alternatives as fusion proteins for the production of recombinant proteins in E. coli.Heparin, a polysulfated polyanionic member of the glycosaminoglycan family, is known to specifically bind to a number of functionally important proteins. Based on the available information on structural specificity of heparin-protein interactions, a novel heparin-binding peptide (HB) affinity tag has been designed to achieve simple and cost-effective purification of target recombinant proteins. The HB-fused recombinant target proteins are purified on a heparin-Sepharose column using a stepwise/continuous sodium chloride gradient. A major advantage of the HB tag is that the HB-fused target proteins can be purified under denaturing conditions in the presence of 8 M urea. In addition, polyclonal antibody directed against the HB tag can be used to specifically detect and quantitate the HB-fused recombinant protein(s). Herein, a step-by-step protocol(s) for the purification of different soluble recombinant target proteins is described. In addition, useful tips to troubleshoot potential problems and also suggestions to successfully adopt the HB-tag-based purification to a wide range of target proteins are provided.Affinity chromatography is a separation method based on a specific binding interaction between an immobilized ligand and its binding partner. An important class of ligands for the effective separation and purification of biotechnologically important substances is lectins, a group of naturally occurring molecules widely found in plants that display a range of specificities to bind different sugars. As sugars are often added to proteins through the process of glycosylation, ∼1/3 of all genetically encoded proteins are glycosylated, numerous cognate pairs of lectins with glycosylation groups have been discovered. Their specific binding interactions have not only allowed the development of numerous methodological strategies involving immobilized lectins to isolate molecules of interests but also for understanding the intermolecular interactions and alterations in glycosylation during a diverse set of biological phenomena, including tumor cell metastasis, intracellular communication, and inflammation. In this chapter, we describe a basic procedure for the separation of horse antibody classes by affinity chromatography based on differences in their glycosylation patterns. This procedure has been utilized for the purification of horse IgG3 (hoIgG3) from other six Ig from equine sera in a single step by using an Artocarpus integrifolia Jacalin column. This class of antibody comprises the therapeutic fraction generated in equine for passive antibody therapy and can serve as a biomarker for patient hypersensitivity. ABT-869 During the course of developing the protocol, the affinity interaction constant between the huIgE-hypersensitive immunoglobulin and the purified hoIgG3 was also determined.In downstream processing, large-scale chromatography plays an important role. For its development, screening experiments followed by pilot-plant chromatography are mandatory steps. Here we describe fast, simple, and inexpensive methods for establishing a preparative chromatography for the separation of complex protein mixtures, based on sample displacement batch chromatography. The methods are demonstrated by anion-exchange chromatography of a human plasma protein fraction (Cohn IV-4), including the screening step and upscaling of the chromatography by a factor of one hundred. The results of the screening experiments and the preparative chromatography are monitored by SDS-PAGE electrophoresis. In summary, we provide a protocol, which should be easily adaptable for the chromatographic large-scale purification of other proteins, in the laboratory as well as in the manufacturing of biopharmaceuticals. These protocols cover the initial piloting steps for establishing a large-scale sample batch chromatography. The results from the piloting steps may also be applied for packed columns for performing simulated-moving-bed (SMB) chromatography rather than batch chromatography.Nowadays, monolithic stationary phases, because of their special morphology and enormous permeability, are widely used for the development and realization of fast dynamic and static processes based on the mass transition between liquid and solid phases. These are liquid chromatography, solid-phase synthesis, microarrays, flow-through enzyme reactors, etc. High-performance liquid chromatography on monoliths, including the bioaffinity mode, represents unique technique appropriate for fast and efficient separation of biological (macro)molecules of different sizes and shapes (proteins, nucleic acids, peptides), as well as such supramolecular systems as viruses.In the edited chapter, the examples of the application of commercially available macroporous monoliths for modern affinity processing are presented. In particular, the original methods developed for efficient isolation and fractionation of monospecific antibodies from rabbit blood sera, the possibility of simultaneous affinity separation of protein G and serum albumin from human serum, the isolation of recombinant products, such as protein G and tissue plasminogen activator, respectively, are described in detail. The suggested and realized multifunctional fractionation of polyclonal pools of antibodies by the combination of several short monolithic columns (disks) with different affinity functionalities stacked in the same cartridge represents the original and practically valuable method that can be used in biotechnology. In addition, macroporous monoliths were adapted to the immobilization of such different enzymes as polynucleotide phosphorylase, ribonuclease A, α-chymotrypsin, chitinolytic biocatalysts, β-xylosidase, and β-xylanase. The possibility of use of immobilized enzyme reactors based on monoliths for different purposes is demonstrated.
