Artificial sorbents that comprise macroporous glass covered by the copolymer of N-vinylpyrrolidone and N-substituted acrylamide have been synthesized. Aminoethanol is bound to acrylic acid residue in one sorbent (AE-glass), whereas the other sorbent involves immunoglobulin G with the hexamethylenediamine spacer (IgG-glass). C1q binds specifically to IgG-glass with Ka 4,07(+/- 0,32) X 10(7) M-1. Free energy of the C1q binding to IgG-glass is twice higher than that of its binding to monomeric IgG. This evidences that one C1q molecule associates with two IgG molecules of the sorbent. A weak nonspecific sorption of C1q to AE-glass was found. Both specific (on IgG-glass) and nonspecific (on AE-glass) sorption of the first component of complement activate the classical pathway in human serum as manifested in the consumption of the C4, C2, C3 and C5 components. IgG-glass was employed for C1q isolation from human serum by affinity chromatography, whereas unbound part of serum may be used as a reagent R1q. The yield of highly purified C1q after IgG-glass affinity chromatography and gel filtration on Sephacryl S-300 is 63,6%. |
