Abstract
Antibodies and their derivatives (scFv, Fabs, etc.) represent a unique class of biomolecules that combine selectivity with the ability to target drug delivery. Currently, one of the most promising endeavors in this field is the development of molecular diagnostic tools and antibody-based therapeutic agents, including antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs). To meet this challenge, it is imperative to advance methods for modifying antibodies. A particularly promising strategy involves the introduction of carbonyl groups into the antibody that are amenable to further modification by biorthogonal reactions, namely aliphatic, aromatic, and α-oxo aldehydes, as well as aliphatic and aryl-alkyl ketones. In this review, we summarize the preparation methods and applications of site-specific antibody conjugates that are synthesized using this approach.

Branched Linkers for Site-Specific Fluorescent Labeling of Antibodies. Molecules 2023; 28:molecules28010425.

Abstract
Fluorescent antibodies have proved to be an invaluable tool for molecular biology and diagnostics. They are routinely produced by modification of lysine residues, which leads to high heterogeneity. As such, their affinity may be compromised if the antigen-binding site is affected, the probability of which increases along with the degree of labeling. In this work, we propose a methodology for the synthesis of site-specific antibody-dye conjugates with a high degree of labeling. To this end, we synthesized two oxyamine-based branched triazide linkers and coupled them with a periodate-oxidized anti-PRAME antibody 6H8; two oxyamine-based linear monoazide linkers of similar structure were used as controls. The azide-labeled antibodies were subsequently conjugated with fluorescent dyes via SPAAC, a copper-free click reaction. Compared to their counterparts made with linear linkers, the branched conjugates possessed a higher degree of labeling. The utility of the methodology was demonstrated in the detection of the PRAME protein on the surface of the cell by flow cytometry.

Abstract
Aptamers are oligonucleotide molecules able to recognize very specifically proteins. Among the possible applications, aptamers have been used for affinity chromatography with effective results and advantages over most advanced protein separation technologies. This chapter first discusses the context of the affinity chromatography with aptamer ligands. With the adaptation of SELEX, the chemical modifications of aptamers to comply with the covalent coupling and the separation process are then extensively presented. A focus is then made about the most important applications for protein separation with real-life examples and the comparison with immunoaffinity chromatography. In spite of well-advanced demonstrations and the extraordinary potential developments, a significant optimization work is still due to deserve large-scale applications with all necessary validations.

Abstract
Antibody and related antibody drugs for the treatment of malignancies have led to progress in targeted cancer therapy. Preparation of diverse antibody conjugates is critical for preclinical and clinical applications. However, precise control in tagging molecules at specific locations on antibodies is essential to preserve their native function. In this study, a synthetic boronic acid (BA)-tosyl initiator was used to trigger a glycan-directed modification of IgGs, and the obtained IgG macroinitiators allowed a growth of the poly N-isopropylacrylamide (PNIPAAm) chains specifically at Fc-domains. Therefore, the PNIPAAm chains are located away from the critical antigen-binding domains (Fab), which could reasonably prevent the loss of biological activity after the attachment of polymer chains. According to the proposed strategy, a site-selectively modified anticoncanavalin A (Con A) antibody-PNIPAAm conjugate showed 6-times higher efficiency in the binding of targeted Con A antigen to a randomly conjugated anti-Con A antibody-PNIPAAm conjugate. In this study, we developed the first chemical strategy for the site-specific preparation of IgG-polymer conjugates with conserved biological activity as well as intact glycan structures.

Abstract
The present review deals with the place of single chain oligonucleotide ligands (aptamers) in affinity chromatography applied to proteins. Aptamers are not the only affinity ligands available but they represent an emerging and highly promising route that advantageously competes with antibodies in immunopurification processes. A historical background of affinity chromatography from the beginning of the discipline to the most recent outcomes is first presented. Then the focus is centered on aptamers which represent the last step so far to the long quest for affinity ligands associating very high specificity, availability and strong stability against most harsh cleaning agents required in chromatography. Then technologies of ligand selection from large libraries followed by the most appropriate chemical grafting approaches are described and supported by a number of bibliographic references. Experimental results assembled from relevant published paper are reported; they are selected by their practical applicability and potential use at large scale. The review concludes with specific remarks and future developments that are expected in the near future to turn this technology into a large acceptance for preparative applications.

Abstract
Nucleic acid aptamers are promising ligands for analytical and preparative-scale affinity chromatography applications. However, a full industrial exploitation requires that aptamer-grafted chromatography media provide a number of high technical standards that remained largely untested. Ideally, they should exhibit relatively high binding capacity associated to a very high degree of specificity. In addition, they must be highly resistant to harsh cleaning/sanitization conditions, as well as to prolonged and repeated exposure to biological environment. Here, we present practical examples of aptamer affinity chromatography for the purification of three human therapeutic proteins from various sources: Factor VII, Factor H and Factor IX. In a single chromatographic step, three DNA aptamer ligands enabled the efficient purification of their target protein, with an unprecedented degree of selectivity (from 0.5% to 98% of purity in one step). Furthermore, these aptamers demonstrated a high stability under harsh sanitization conditions (100h soaking in 1M NaOH). These results pave the way toward a wider adoption of aptamer-based affinity ligands in the industrial-scale purification of not only plasma-derived proteins but also of any other protein in general.

Abstract
To identify and sort out subpopulations of cells from more complex and heterogeneous assemblies of cells is important for many biomedical applications, and the development of cost- and labour-efficient techniques to accomplish this is warranted. In this report, we have developed a novel array-based platform to discriminate cellular populations based on differences in cell surface antigen expressions. These cell capture microarrays were produced through covalent immobilisation of CD antibodies to plasma ion immersion implantation-treated polycarbonate (PIII-PC), which offers the advantage of a transparent matrix, allowing direct light microscopy visualisation of captured cells. The functionality of the PIII-PC array was validated using several cell types, resulting in unique surface antigen expression profiles. PIII-PC results were compatible with flow cytometry, nitrocellulose cell capture arrays and immunofluorescent staining, indicating that the technique is robust. We report on the use of this PIII-PC cluster of differentiation (CD) antibody array to gain new insights into neural differentiation of mouse embryonic stem (ES) cells and into the consequences of genetic targeting of the Notch signalling pathway, a key signalling mechanism for most cellular differentiation processes. Specifically, we identify CD98 as a novel marker for neural precursors and polarised expression of CD9 in the apical domain of ES cell-derived neural rosettes. We further identify expression of CD9 in hitherto uncharacterised non-neural cells and enrichment of CD49e- and CD117-positive cells in Notch signalling-deficient ES cell differentiations. In conclusion, this work demonstrates that covalent immobilisation of antibody arrays to the PIII-PC surface provides faithful cell surface antigen data in a cost- and labour-efficient manner. This may be used to facilitate high throughput identification and standardisation of more precise marker profiles during stem cell differentiation and in various genetic and disease contexts.

Abstract
Anisotropic gold nanorods provide a convenient combination of properties, such as tunability of plasmon resonances and strong extinction cross sections in the near-infrared to red spectral region. These properties have created significant interest in the development of antibody conjugation methods for synthesis of targeted nanorods for a number of biomedical applications, including molecular specific imaging and therapy. Previously published conjugation approaches have achieved molecular specificity. However, the current conjugation methods have several downsides including low stability and potential cytotoxicity of bioconjugates that are produced by electrostatic interactions, as well as lack of control over antibody orientation during covalent conjugation. Here we addressed these shortcomings by introducing directional antibody conjugation to the gold nanorod surface. The directional conjugation is achieved through the carbohydrate moiety, which is located on one of the heavy chains of the Fc portion of most antibodies. The carbohydrate is oxidized under mild conditions to a hydrazide reactive aldehyde group. Then, a heterofunctional linker with hydrazide and dithiol groups is used to attach antibodies to gold nanorods. The directional conjugation approach was characterized using electron microscopy, zeta potential, and extinction spectra. We also determined spectral changes associated with nanorod aggregation; these spectral changes can be used as a convenient quality control of nanorod bioconjugates. Molecular specificity of the synthesized antibody targeted nanorods was demonstrated using hyperspectral, optical and photoacoustic imaging of cancer cell culture models. Additionally, we observed characteristic changes in optical spectra of molecular specific nanorods after their interactions with cancer cells; the observed spectral signatures can be explored for sensitive cancer detection.

Abstract
In the past few years, protein biochips have emerged as promising proteomic and diagnostic tools for obtaining information about protein functions and interactions. Important technological innovations have been made. However, considerable development is still required, especially regarding protein immobilization, in order to fully realize the potential of protein biochips. In fact, protein immobilization is the key to the success of microarray technology. Proteins need to be immobilized onto surfaces with high density in order to allow the usage of small amount of sample solution. Nonspecific protein adsorption needs to be avoided or at least minimized in order to improve detection performances. Moreover, full retention of protein conformation and activity is a challenging task to be accomplished. Although a large number of review papers on protein biochips have been published in recent years, few have focused on protein immobilization technology. In this review, current protein immobilization strategies, including physical, covalent, and bioaffinity immobilization for the fabrication of protein biochips, are described. Particular consideration has been given to oriented immobilization, also referred to as site-specific immobilization, which is believed will improve homogeneous surface covering and accessibility of the active site.

Biochim Biophys Acta Gen Subj 2006; 1770:178-86.

Abstract
Gelatinase B/matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9) is a multidomain enzyme functioning in acute and chronic inflammatory and neoplastic diseases. It belongs to a family of more than 20 related zinc proteinases. Therefore, the discovery and the definition of the action mechanism of selective MMP inhibitors form the basis for future therapeutics. The monoclonal antibody REGA-3G12 is a most selective inhibitor of human gelatinase B. REGA-3G12 was found to recognize the aminoterminal part and not the carboxyterminal O-glycosylated and hemopexin protein domains. A variant of gelatinase B, lacking the two carboxyterminal domains, was expressed in insect cells and fragmented with purified proteinases. The fragments were probed by one- and two-dimensional Western blot and immunoprecipitation experiments with REGA-3G12 to map the interactions between the antibody and the enzyme. The interaction unit was identified by Edman degradation analysis as the glycosylated segment from Trp(116) to Lys(214) of gelatinase B. The sequence of this segment was analysed by hydrophobicity/hydrophilicity, accessibility and flexibility profiling. Four hydrophilic peptides were chemically synthesized and used in binding and competition assays. The peptide Gly(171)-Leu(187) in molar excess inhibited partially the binding of MMP-9 to REGA-3G12 and thus refines the structure of the conformational binding site. These results define part of the catalytic domain of gelatinase B/MMP-9, and not the zinc-binding or fibronectin domains, as target for the development of selective inhibitors.

Abstract
A new method for preparing immobilized alpha1-acid glycoprotein (AGP) for use in drug-protein binding studies was developed and optimized. In this approach, periodate was used under mild conditions to oxidize the carbohydrate chains in AGP for attachment to a hydrazide-activated support. The final conditions chosen for this oxidation involved the reaction of 5.0 mg/mL AGP at 4 degrees C and pH 7.0 with 5-20 mM periodic acid for 10 min. These conditions helped maximize the immobilization of AGP without significantly affecting its activity. This method was evaluated by using it to attach AGP to silica for use in high-performance affinity chromatography and self-competition zonal elution studies. In work with R- and S-propranolol, only one type of binding site was observed for both enantiomers on the immobilized AGP, in agreement with previous studies using soluble AGP. The association equilibrium constants measured for the immobilized AGP with R- and S-propranolol at pH 7.4 and 37 degrees C were 2.7 x 10(6) and 4.2 x 10(6) M(-1), respectively, with linear van't Hoff plots being obtained between 5 and 37 degrees C. Work performed with other drugs also gave good agreement between the behavior seen for immobilized AGP and that for soluble AGP. The same immobilization method described in this work could be used to attach AGP to other materials, such as those used for surface plasmon resonance or alternative biosensors.

Abstract
A successful strategy for the immobilization of rennet from Mucor miehei has been developed. The strategy is based on the immobilization of the enzyme, via their sugar chains at high ionic strength on aminated supports having primary amino groups with a very low pK value. The rennet was covalently immobilized via sugar chains (previously oxidized with periodate), which act as natural spacer arms and allow a very high percentage of rennet activity to be kept against small (H-Leu-Ser-p-nitro-Phe-Nle-Ala-Leu-OMe.TFA (98%)) and macromolecular substrates (k-casein) (78%). The use of tailor-made aminated support was critical to obtain good stability values, because using fully aminated supports achieved much lower thermostability values than using 50% aminated supports. The optimized derivative was utilized to hydrolyze casein in milk. To prevent the coagulation of the milk in the presence of the derivative, the reaction was performed at 4 degrees C (where hydrolyzed casein did not precipitate). Then the hydrolyzed milk was filtered and latter on heated to 30 degrees C, achieving a similar aggregate to the one achieved with soluble rennet.

Abstract
Preparation of horseradish peroxidase (HRP) hydrazide that is HRP linked to adipic acid dihydrazide (HRP-ADH) and its use in enzyme immunoassay (EIA) is described. In this new strategy, horseradish peroxidase was conjugated to adipic acid dihydrazide using a carbodiimide coupling method. The resulting HRP-ADH was then coupled to cortisol-21-hemisuccinate (Cortisol-21-HS) to prepare enzyme conjugate. The prepared cortisol-21-HS coupled ADH-HRP (Cortisol-21-HS-ADH-HRP) enzyme conjugate was used for the development of an enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) for direct estimation of cortisol. To the cortisol antibody coated microtiter wells, standard or serum samples (50 microL), along with cortisol-21-HS-ADH-HRP enzyme conjugate (100 microL) were incubated for 1 h at 37 degrees C. Bound enzyme activity was measured by using tetramethyl benzidine/hydrogen peroxide (TMB/H2O2) as substrate. The sensitivity of the assay was 0.05 microg/dL and the analytical recovery ranged from 92.9 to 101.7%.

Abstract
Ca(2+)-dependent mannose-binding proteins (MBPs) belong to the family of animal lectins isolated from the liver and serum of rabbits, humans and rodents. They perform in vivo as defense molecules that act as opsonins by enhancing the clearance of mannose-rich pathogens and have been used in vitro for the purification of immunoglobulin M (IgM). In this study, we used MBPs as a sensitive and specific reagent for the detection of IgM due to their high specificity for mannose found only in IgM carbohydrate regions. MBP performed as a sensitive alternative to the usually used anti-IgM, where very low concentrations of IgM should be detected. IgM plays a central role in the initial response of the immune system to the invasion of foreign pathogens, as the early detection of the appearance of pathogenic IgM in biological fluids is of great significance in the diagnosis and treatment of many acute pathological cases. The development of a highly sensitive and reliable assay for the detection of low concentrations of IgM based on covalent binding on epoxy film-coated surfaces and selective recognition of IgM by MBP may be of clinical importance.

Abstract
Immunoaffinity solid-phase extraction (SPE) sorbents, so-called immunosorbents (ISs), are based upon molecular recognition using antibodies. Thanks to the high affinity and high selectivity of the antigen-antibody interaction, they allow a high degree of molecular selectivity and have shown to be a unique tool in the sample preparation area these last few years. Extraction and clean-up of complex biological and environmental aqueous samples are achieved in the same step and from large volumes when required. Their application to extracts from solid matrixes is solvent-free and more simple than any other clean-up procedure. Single analytes can be targeted, but since an antibody can also bind one or more analytes having structure similar to the one used for its preparation, ISs have been developed for targeting a single analyte and its metabolites. The cross-reactivity was also exploited for developing ISs that could selectively extract a whole class of structurally related compounds. This review describes the current technology used for the synthesis of the ISs, their properties and their field of application. The different parameters governing the antigen-antibody interactions and the solid-phase extraction process are discussed. Emphasis is given to the optimisation of the SPE sequence, especially to the desorption and regeneration steps. The importance of the capacity and its relationship with the analytes recovery and breakthrough volumes is highlighted for class-specific ISs. Multi-class-selective ISs are also presented. Validation studies are reviewed using various certified reference materials. Relevant examples, involving combination with chromatography in both off-line and on-line mode, illustrate the high selectivity provided in various complex matrixes. Miniaturisation is also described, since it allows high throughput of samples.

Abstract
The immobilization of antibodies onto solid phases in an efficient and activity-retaining form is an important goal for both research and industry. Methods have been developed for the site-directed attachment of antibodies to agarose by oxidation of the carbohydrate moieties in their Fc region. Similar attachment to silianized supports have not been as successful. Here we describe a novel combination protocol for the site-directed attachment of periodate oxidized, goat polyclonal antibodies to glass wool fibers activated with 3-aminopropyltriethoxysilane. The study demonstrates that this procedure results in effective immobilization of polyclonal antibodies that retain their antigen-binding capacity. This protocol should prove useful in the development of more efficient and effective glass-based immunosupports.

Abstract
Procedures that utilize the affinities of biomolecules and ligands for the immobilization of enzymes are gaining increasing acceptance in the construction of sensitive enzyme-based analytical devices as well as for other applications. The strong affinity of polyclonal/monoclonal antibodies for specific enzymes and those of lectins for glycoenzymes bearing appropriate oligosaccharides have been generally employed for the purpose. Potential of affinity pairs like cellulose-cellulose binding domain bearing enzymes and immobilized metal ionsurface histidine bearing enzymes has also been recognised. The bioaffinity based immobilization procedures usually yield preparations exhibiting high catalytic activity and improved stability against denaturation. Bioaffinity based immobilizations are usually reversible facilitating the reuse of support matrix, orient the enzymes favourably and offer the possibility of enzyme immobilization directly from partially pure enzyme preparations or even cell lysates. Enzyme lacking innate ability to bind to various affinity supports can be made to bind to them by chemically or genetically linking the enzymes with appropriate polypeptides/domains like the cellulose binding domain, protein A, histidine-rich peptides, single chain antibodies, etc.

Abstract
The advantages of oriented immobilization of biologically active proteins are good steric accessibilities of active binding sites and increased stability. This not only may help to increase the production of preparative procedures but is likely to promote current knowledge about how the living cells or tissues operate. Protein inactivation starts with the unfolding of the protein molecule by the contact of water with hydrophobic clusters located on the surface of protein molecules, which results in ice-like water structure. Reduction of the nonpolar surface area by the formation of a suitable biospecifc complex or by use of carbohydrate moieties thus may stabilize proteins. This review discusses oriented immobilization of antibodies by use of immobilized protein A or G. The section about oriented immobilization of proteins by use of their suitable antibodies covers immobilization of enzymes utilizing their adsorption on suitable immunosorbents prepared using monoclonal or polyclonal antibodies, preparation of bioaffinity adsorbent for the isolation of concanavalin A and immobilization of antibodies by use of antimouse immunoglobulin G, Fc-specific (i.e. specific towards the constant region of the molecule). In the further section immobilization of antibodies and enzymes through their carbohydrate moieties is described. Oriented immobilization of proteins can be also based on the use of boronate affinity gel or immobilized metal ion affinity chromatography technique. Biotin-avidin or streptavidin techniques are mostly used methods for oriented immobilization. Site-specific attachment of proteins to the surface of solid supports can be also achieved by enzyme, e.g., subtilisin, after introduction a single cysteine residue by site-directed mutagenesis.

Abstract
Immunosorbents for the plant hormones cytokinins prepared by random antibody immobilization (to Affi-Gel 10) and by oriented approach via oxidized carbohydrate moieties on the Fc region (to Affi-Gel Hz or hydrazide derivative of Perloza MT 200) have been compared. Both approaches yielded immunosorbents with high dynamic capacity (ca. 5-10 nmol ml gel-1). Oriented antibody immobilization did not exhibit crucial effects in the case of low-molecular-mass cytokinins. Antibodies immobilized via a spacer to Affi-Gel 10 have probably enough conformational freedom to enable good accessibility to cytokinins. The sorbents were used in analysis of endogenous cytokinins in maize seeds. In phosphatase treated samples trans-zeatin and its riboside were predominant.

Abstract
The oxidation of antibody carbohydrate residues by periodate is a common approach used for site-specific antibody modification and immobilization. This study sought to develop a general kinetic model that could be used to describe the effective rate of this oxidation for process control. A detailed analysis of previous data collected for rabbit immunoglobulin G in the presence of excess periodate indicated that the reaction followed a pseudo-first-order mechanism in which two general classes of sites were being oxidized. The first class of sites was oxidized fairly rapidly (i.e., within 15-30 min), while the second class of sites reacted over the course of several hours. From these results, an equation was developed that gave a good fit under a variety of reaction conditions to the production of oxidized sites available for coupling with a hydrazide label. On the basis of this equation, data obtained at several periodate concentrations under the same pH and temperature conditions were used to estimate the apparent rate and equilibrium constants for the oxidation of each class of sites. The values obtained by using this approach could be used not only to predict the effective rate of oxidation at other periodate concentrations but also to provide information on the individual steps involved in the oxidation process.

Abstract
The authors have previously synthesized a novel boronate affinity ligand, catechol [2-(diethylamino)carbonyl-4-bromomethyl]phenylboronate. When this ligand was coupled to cellulose beads, it bound horseradish peroxidase (HRP), a glycoprotein, at pH 7.0. In comparison, commercial m-aminophenylboronic acid-agarose did not bind HRP below pH 8.0. HRP was immobilized in an oriented and reversible fashion using this gel. The immobilized enzyme retained 90.12 per cent of its original activity, probably due to its attachment via the carbohydrate moiety of the enzyme. After repeated use, the activity remaining on the new gel was twice as high as that on conventional m-aminophenylboronic acid-agarose. The column was regenerated easily by washing with dilute acid because of reversibility of the boronate glycol bond.

Abstract
The impact of antibody orientation on immunosorbent efficiency was quantitatively assessed. A pH-dependent murine monoclonal antibody (Mab) against human protein C (hPC), recombinant hPC (rhPC) and two different immobilization chemistries and matrices were used as model systems. The lysyl groups of the rhPC were covalently modified with an acetic acid ester of N-hydroxysuccinimide and this modified rhPC was used as a Fab masking agent (FMA). The FMA was used to mask the antigen binding regions (Fab) of the Mab prior to and during covalent immobilization. Thereafter, the residual active sites of the support were inactivated and the FMA was removed. Mab was immobilizeed at low bead-averaged densities of about 0.4-1.1 mg Mab/mL matrix to minimize local density effects. Immunosorbents made using masked Mab (oriented coupling) gave antigen binding efficiencies (nAg) of 42-48% compared with 18-22% for those made by random coupling. The amount of (Fab)2 released from pepsin digestion of immunosorbents was about 3-4-fold higher for matrices having been made with FMA-masked Mab relative to unmasked Mab. Thus, the (Fab)2 accessibility to pepsin correlates well with higher functional efficiency (nAg) and serves as a measure of orientation. In summary, at low Mab density and a 2:1 molar rhPC to Mab binding stoichiometry, about 80% or more of the Mab randomly coupled through amino moieties was improperly oriented relative to oriented coupled Mab, which correlated with about 50% of lost Mab functionality upon immobilization.

Abstract
A two step simple procedure for antibody stabilization in soluble form was developed. The antibody is first treated with low molecular weight polyaldehyde (polyglutaraldehyde). Following removal of non-bound polyaldehyde the antibody-polyaldehyde conjugate is crosslinked by polyamine (alkyl amine derivative of polyglutaraldehyde). Feasibility studies were successfully conducted employing monoclonal antibody raised against horseradish peroxidase as model system. The stabilized antibody preparation exhibited improved thermal stability, enhanced resistance to proteolytic digestion and higher 'specific binding activity' in ELISA test, without losing its capability to bind large antigen (enzyme) or being recognized by another antibody (goat anti-mouse IgG).

Abstract
Ca2+ -dependent mannose-binding proteins (MBPs) belong to the family of animal lectins. They perform in vivo as defence molecules that act as opsonins by enhancing the clearance of mannose rich pathogens and have been used in vitro for the purification of IgM. MBPs have been previously isolated by methods based on binding the protein moiety of various mannan species to different matrices. However, the mannan-protein complexes did not have a constant protein content and the yield of the isolated MBPs was variable. In the present study we describe a new approach for the affinity purification of MBPs based on the main polysaccharide moiety of the complex. After removal of residual phosphate groups naturally occurring at the C-3 position of the sugar, which interfere with MBP recognition, the mannan was phosphorylated enzymatically at C-6, at which position the OH group is not required for lectin binding. The enzymatically phosphorylated mannan bound to an alumina column was used successfully for MBP separation from rabbit serum. The mannose-binding protein obtained was used in our study for diagnostic purposes in the identification and determination of very low concentrations of IgM.

Abstract
Eight monoclonal antibodies of different classes and isotypes and rabbit IgG were oxidized under a variety of conditions with 5-50 mM periodate. The number of aldehyde groups generated per immunoglobulin were measured by reduction with tritiated sodium borohydride or coupling of fluoresceinthiosemicarbazide. There were up to 25.5 aldehyde groups detected on the periodate-oxidized antibody 96.5, measured by borohydride reduction whereas the same conditions led to only 9.6 aldehydes per IgG on the antibody L6 of the same IgG2A isotype. Fluoresceinthiosemicarbazide bound to oxidized antibodies but not to the same extent as tritium. On mildly oxidized IgMs it was possible to generate more than 200 aldehyde groups per antibody molecule. Depending on the conditions and the antibody used periodate oxidation could lead to antibody crosslinking. The avidities of the modified antibodies were determined by Scatchard analyses and inhibition assays. A new mathematical method to evaluate the immunoreactivities of modified antibodies relative to the unlabeled native antibody from inhibition binding data was established. Periodate concentrations higher than 50 mM decreased the avidities and immunoreactivities of all IgGs tested. This effect is more pronounced if the oxidation is performed at pH 5.6 and 25 degrees C instead of pH 4.6 and 0 degree C. The BR96 antibody is inactivated even under mild oxidation conditions.

Abstract
An immunoaffinity purification system using C30N and C1Z Eupergit C beads was developed and optimized. Poly- and monoclonal antibodies were purified using immobilized antigens and antigens were purified using immobilized antibodies. Antigens were used that possess enzymic activities and the efficiency of antigen binding was determined from the enzymic activity of the matrix-bound immunocomplexes. High-performance immunoaffinity purification using Eupergit C beads proved to be highly specific, reproducible, free from protein leakage and possessed a low degree of non-specific adsorption of tissue proteins. These characteristics of the system were illustrated by the isolation of immunoglobulin G from serum and of human decidua proteins from the decidua tissue and from seminal plasma. These proteins were obtained at high purity in a single purification step, as shown by sodium dodecyl sulphate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis.

Abstract
The effect of reversible protection of the free amino groups of poly- and monoclonal antibodies by dimethylmaleic anhydride on their binding activity following immobilization onto various carriers was studied. The treatment with dimethylmaleic anhydride resulted in a 1.6-1.8-fold increase in the activity of immobilized goat anti-mouse immunoglobulin antibody immobilized onto different epoxy containing carriers and a 3-10.7-fold increase in the activity of immobilized monoclonal antibodies specific for carboxypeptidase A. The increase in activity was most pronounced at low antigen to carrier loads and over a wide range of modifier to protein ratios. The application of reversible protection of antibodies may permit the development of highly active immobilized antibody preparations for use in immunoaffinity purification.

Abstract
Site-specific modification of monoclonal antibodies was achieved by oxidation of the carbohydrate moieties of antibodies which are located remote from the antigen binding sites. Sialic acid and galactose are terminal sugars of these carbohydrate chains. Concomitant treatment of the antibodies with neuraminidase and galactose oxidase generated aldehyde groups in the oligosaccharide moieties of immunoglobulins which reacted selectively with amino or hydrazide groups of the matrix. Subsequent immobilization of neuraminidase and galactose oxidase on Eupergit C-adipic dihydrazide proved to be an efficient and selective system for the enzymic oxidation of the monoclonal antibodies without impairing their immunological activity. Oriented immobilization of enzymically oxidized monoclonal antibodies on hydrazide or amino Eupergit C derivatives thus leads to the formation of antibody matrix conjugates which possess high antigen-binding activities.
