The efficient isolation and concentration of protein antigens from complex biological samples is a critical step in several analytical methods, such as mass spectrometry, flow cytometry and immunochemistry. These techniques take advantage of magnetic microspheres as immunosorbents. The focus of this study was on the development of new superparamagnetic polymer microspheres for the specific isolation of the tumor suppressor protein p53. Monodisperse macroporous poly(glycidyl methacrylate) (PGMA) microspheres measuring approximately 5 μm and containing carboxyl groups were prepared by multistep swelling polymerization of glycidyl methacrylate (GMA), 2-[(methoxycarbonyl)methoxy]ethyl methacrylate (MCMEMA) and ethylene dimethylacrylate (EDMA) as a crosslinker in the presence of cyclohexyl acetate as a porogen. To render the microspheres magnetic, iron oxide was precipitated within their pores; the Fe content in the particles received ∼18 wt%. Nonspecific interactions between the magnetic particles and biological media were minimized by coating the microspheres with poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) terminated by carboxyl groups. The carboxyl groups of the magnetic PGMA microspheres were conjugated with primary amino groups of mouse monoclonal DO-1 antibody using conventional carbodiimide chemistry. The efficiency of protein p53 capture and the degree of nonspecific adsorption on neat and PEG-coated magnetic microspheres were determined by western blot analysis.

Terpolymer bead particles (100-350 microm in diameter) were prepared by suspension radical polymerization from methacrylate esters [2,3-epoxypropyl methacrylate (GMA), 2-(2-hydroxyethoxy)ethyl methacrylate (DEGMA) and ethylene dimethacrylate (EDMA)] and subsequently derivatized affording iminodiacetic acid (IDA) chelating sorbents. The sorbents differed in pore volumes (0-0.7 cm3/g) and specific surface areas (0.03-9.8 m2/g) of their matrices as well as in the amounts of immobilized Ni2+-IDA complexes (0.03-1.58 mmol/g). The binding of imidazole was studied by frontal chromatography to evaluate the accessibility of Ni2+-IDA complexes. It was found that an increase in the bonded imidazole content with increasing immobilized Ni2+-IDA concentration was strongly dependent on the matrix morphology. A higher pore volume of the matrix significantly improved the utilizability of Ni2+-IDA complexes for imidazole binding. The performance of the sorbents based on two porous matrices with immobilized Ni2+-IDA concentration (0.1-1.58 mmol/g) differing in pore size distributions was compared in immobilized metal affinity chromatography (IMAC) of monoclonal mouse immunoglobulin IgG1 specific against human choriogonadotropic hormone (GTH-spec IgG1). The results have shown that sorbents based on matrix with large pores (up to 20 microm in diameter) exhibited high protein binding capacities. The GTH-spec IgG1 (Mw=158,000) was eluted from all the sorbents in its native form as was confirmed by MALDI-TOF.
