Abstract

Techniques for preparing stable conjugates of protein-D-GL which can then be isolated in pure form are disclosed, using hen egg ovalbumin (OVA) as a prototype protein, and conjugation and purification methods are described which involve (1) application of a coupling method employing m-maleimidobenzoyl-N-hydroxysuccinimide ester (MBS) as the coupling reagent, and (2) introduction of biotin moieties into D-GL molecules to allow application of avidinbiotin system for affinity chromatographic purification of conjugates. These methods are applicable to the preparation of D-GL conjugates of insulin and Ragweed Antigen E and are of general applicability.
