Abstract
Disclosed herein are chromatographic materials comprising streptavidin molecules, wherein the streptavidin molecules are bound to biotin and one or more biotinylated affinity agents. The biotinylated affinity agent may be a biotinylated antibody, biotinylated antigen-binding fragment, or biotinylated oligonucleotide. The streptavidin chromatographic materials may be used to prepare affinity chromatographic materials. Due to biotin binding to the conjugated streptavidin, the materials provided herein have reduced to no streptavidin leachate, resulting in improved performance.
Claims23
A method of preparing an affinity chromatographic column, the method comprising contacting a chromatographic column with a solution comprising a mixture of a biotinylated affinity agent and free biotin, wherein:
- the chromatographic column comprises a column body formed of a metal or a metal alloy, wherein the column body houses a plurality of streptavidin-conjugated nonporous particles.
