Triplex affinity interaction provides a new process for the purification of plasmid DNA, which is especially suited to meet the demands of a gene therapy use. We developed a method for the functionalization of a large pore affinity support suitable for this application. A 5'-modified DNA oligonucleotide containing an aldehyde group was coupled to adipic acid hydrazide functionalized Sephacryl beads with a yield of 31% (over all immobilization yield 22.6% from starting oligonucleotide). The resulting selective and covalent immobilization of the ligand via a 16 atom, hydrophilic linker arm enables the oligonucleotide bases to freely bind to the target sequence. The proposed method provides affinity supports that might be used in large scale affinity purification of plasmid DNA. |
