Abstract

Membrane-based receptor affinity chromatography (MRAC), which utilizes the molecular recognition between an immobilized receptor and its soluble protein ligand, has been developed for the purification of human interleukin-2 and related biomolecules. The multi-purpose affinity membrane used in this study consisted of a soluble form of interleukin-2 receptor (IL-2R) chemically bonded to hollow-fiber membranes in an oriented fashion. A model system involving anti-Tac-H (a humanized monoclonal antibody to IL-2R) was used to study the important factors influencing the performance of MRAC, including support morphology, mass transfer rate and adsorption kinetics. All three are shown to be highly efficient. MRAC has been successfully applied to the purification of anti-Tac-H, recombinant human interleukin-2 (rIL-2) and interleukin 2-Pseudomonas exotoxin fusion protein (IL2-PE40). Overall, MRAC was found to be a viable, scalable and extremely productive affinity purification method.

Three-dimensional porous nano-hydroxyapatite@gelatin composite as efficient adsorbent for uranyl ion removal from low-level radioactive wastewater.

The contamination of water resources by uranyl (UO22+) ions poses significant environmental and health risks, requiring the development of efficient and sustainable remediation strategies. Adsorption-based techniques have emerged as promising approaches in the field of UO22+ removal, but the design of cost-effective, high-capacity, and environmentally friendly adsorbents remains challenging. In this study, a three-dimensional porous nano-hydroxyapatite@gelatin (nHAP@Ge) composite was synthesized through glutaraldehyde cross-linking, combining the structural stability of Ge with the high uranium affinity of nHAP. The optimized nHAP@Ge, with a nHAP:Ge mass ratio of 1:0.5, exhibited exceptional UO22+ removal efficiency (97 %), along with high adsorption capacity (364.03 mg/g). Systematic characterizations using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) methods revealed that the porous structure and surface functional groups (-OH, Ca2+, and PO43-) of the material synergistically contributed to binding UO22+ species. Furthermore, the incorporation of nHAP into the Ge framework resulted in enhanced thermal stability while significantly improving the UO22+ adsorption performance. This work presents a scalable, eco-friendly, and recyclable strategy for the effective treatment of uranium-contaminated water, with potential applications in nuclear wastewater treatment and environmental remediation.

"Paralogs", sorbent families for protein separations.

Novel peptide-based (paralog) sorbents are evaluated with respect to performance, reproducibility and reusability in a 96-well test plate screening format, and to utility in protein separations. The results demonstrate that this approach to constructing sorbents provides a new and generally applicable set of tools for separating proteins.
