Abstract

The present invention provide novel immunofiber compositions for protein or peptide purification and simple and cost-efficient methods and systems using these compositions. In some embodiments, the immunofibers comprise a customized Z-33 peptide derived from Staphylococcus aureus Protein A which is used to construct immuno-amphiphile molecules that assemble into immunofibers in aqueous solution with bioactive epitopes on the surface and have peptide or protein binding ability.

Claims (21)

1. An immunofiber composition comprising:

a) a spacer molecule having a hydrocarbon chain at its N-terminus conjugated to a peptide sequence comprising the generic amino acid sequence of XXBB,

wherein XX is two amino acids having a small hydrophobic side chain and can be the same or different amino acid, and

wherein BB is two amino acids having a negatively charged side chain and can be the same or different amino acid; and

b) an immunofiber binding molecule comprising an antibody binding peptide conjugated to a second hydrocarbon chain,

wherein the antibody binding peptide has a hydrophilic amino acid sequence selected from the group consisting of SEQ ID NOS: 1-7.

2. The immunofiber composition of claim 1 , wherein each of the amino acids having a small hydrophobic side chain is independently selected from the group consisting of: Ala, Val, Ile, and Leu.

3. The immunofiber composition of claim 1 , wherein each of the amino acids having a negatively charged side chain is independently selected from the group consisting of: Glu and Asp.

4. The immunofiber composition of claim 1 , wherein XXBB is VVEE (SEQ ID NO: 10).

5. The immunofiber composition of claim 1 , wherein the hydrocarbon chain is a C12 hydrocarbon chain.

6. The immunofiber composition of claim 1 , wherein the antibody binding peptide has the amino acid sequence FNMQQQRRFYEALHDPNLNEEQRNAKIKSIRDD (SEQ ID NO: 1).

7. The immunofiber composition of claim 1 , wherein the second hydrocarbon chain is between 8 and 22 carbons in length and is either linear or branched.

8. The immunofiber composition of claim 1 , wherein the second hydrocarbon chain is between 8 and 12 carbons in length.

9. A method for purifying antibodies or Fc-containing peptides or proteins, said method comprising:

a) dissolving the immunofiber composition of claim 1 in an aqueous solution at a physiological pH to provide an immunofiber solution and aging the immunofiber solution overnight to provide a solution of self-assembled immunofibers;

b) mixing a sample comprising antibodies or Fc-containing peptides or proteins with the solution of self-assembled immunofibers to provide a solution comprising immunofiber/antibody complexes or immunofiber/Fc-containing peptide or protein complexes;

c) separating the immunofiber/antibody complexes or the immunofiber/Fc-containing peptide or protein complexes from the solution by adding salt and centrifuging; and

d) dissociating the immunofibers from the antibodies or Fc-containing peptide or protein complexes and collecting the unbound antibodies or Fc-containing peptides or proteins.

10. The method of claim 9 , wherein aging the immunofiber solution overnight promotes binding of the immunofibers to the Fc portions of the antibodies or Fc-containing peptides or proteins.

11. The method of claim 9 , wherein dissociating the immunofibers from the antibodies or Fc-containing peptides or proteins comprises lowering the pH to an elution condition; and using one or more of filtration, microfiltration, or ultrafiltration.

12. The method of claim 9 , further comprising further purifying the antibodies or Fc-containing peptides or proteins using polishing.
