Abstract
Genetically engineered immunoglobulins (Igs) carrying viral B or T cell peptides in the CDR3 loop, function as efficient delivery system of the defined viral epitopes. Two of these antigenized Igs (AIgs) were derivatized with 2-O-monomethoxypolyethylene glycol-4,6-dichloro-s-triazine (mPEG). Herein, we describe a two-step strategy to purify mPEG-derivatized AIgs (AIgs-mPEG). Unr chromatography using ammonium hydrogencarbonate as a buffer system. Mildly PEGylated AIgs were isolated from free and highly derivatized AIgs by anion-exchange chromatography. Electrophoretic analysis indicated that the AIgs-mPEG preparation contained less than 4·10-4 M unreacted mPEG. This strategy may be applied to other mPEG-derivatized monoclonal antibodies.
