Simultaneous detection of free polyethylene glycol and PEGylated proteins by western blot
نویسندگان
چکیده
This study presents detection of free polyethylene glycol (PEG) and conjugated PEG in western blot assay using anti-PEG rabbit monoclonals specific to methoxy group of PEG. In a chromogenic western blot assay, detection limit (DL) for free and PEGylated protein was 2.5 μg and 0.5 μg, respectively. Using chemiluminescence substrate, DL of PEGylated granulocyte colony stimulating factor (GCSF) was 100 pg. Assay applied to PEGylation reaction mixture detected both free and PEGylated protein. Commercially available PEGylated products using western blot assay revealed pharmacologically pure preparations.

BACKGROUND Alpha-momorcharin (α-MMC) and momordica anti-HIV protein (MAP30) derived from Momordica charantia L. have been confirmed to possess antitumor and antivirus activities due to their RNA-N-glycosidase activity. However, strong immunogenicity and short plasma half-life limit their clinical application. To solve this problem, the two proteins were modified with (mPEG)(2)-Lys-NHS (20 kDa)....
متن کاملSensitivity of PEGylated interferon detection by anti-polyethylene glycol (PEG) antibodies depends on PEG length.
Attachment of poly(ethylene glycol) to proteins can mask immune epitopes to increase serum half-life, reduce immunogenicity, and enhance in vivo biological efficacy. However, PEGylation mediated epitope-masking may also limit sensitivity and accuracy of traditional ELISA. We previously described an anti-PEG-based sandwich ELISA for universal assay of PEGylated molecules. Here, we compared the q...
