Figure 5: Demonstration of the conjugation of hydrazine modified BSA (lane 2) and aldehyde-modified IgG (lane 4). Reactions of 1/1, 1/3, 3/1 molar equivalents of BSA-NHNH2 and IgG-CHO, lanes 5, 6 and 7 respectively. The subscript denotes the molar substitution ratio of modification groups on each protein. Lanes 8 and 9 are control reactions wherein unmodified BSA is reacted with IgG-CHO and BSANHNH2 is reacted with unmodified IgG respectively.
Figure 6: IgG (lane 1) is first modified to incorporate hydrazine moieties by reaction with SANH 7.5 equiv and 15 equiv. followed by the reaction of 5’—modified oligonucleotide (22 mer) lanes 2 and 3 respectively. The gel on the left was developed with Coomassie blue to show the protein and the center gel was visualized by UVbackshadowing demonstrating that the oligonucleotide is associated with the protein. The gel on the right is a south-western blot experiment wherein the protein is transferred to a PVDF membrane and the 5’-fluorescein-labelled oligonucleotide complementary to the covalently linked oligonucleotide hybridized to the oligo/protein conjugate. This further demonstrates that the biological activity of the oligonucleotide is retained following conjugation.
HydraLink的hydrazone/carbonyl偶联反应对也应用于蛋白/寡核苷酸偶联(Figure 6)。如图6所示,IgG经7.5和15倍SANH处理,形成hydrazine moieties,纯化后的IgG-NHNH2与10倍经5’-aldehyde修饰的寡核苷酸在0.1 M MES, 0.9% NaCl, pH 4.7条件下反应两小时。电泳结果显示寡核苷酸与蛋白结合率为100%。随后蛋白转移至PVDF膜上,与5’荧光素标记的寡核苷酸杂交。这些荧光素标记的寡核苷酸与之前的寡核苷酸互补,从而可以杂交。此实验进一步说明与蛋白偶联的寡核苷酸保留了杂交的能力。在此实验中,一个75碱基的5’-醛基修饰的寡核苷酸成功的与肼基修饰的抗体结合,产量60-75%。

0.5 mM 2-hydrazinopyridine · 2HCl缓冲液制备:将50 mM 2-hydrazinopyridine · 2HCl 溶于1 ml 水或缓冲液中,取10 µl 加入990 µl 酸性缓冲液如100 mM 醋酸缓冲液(pH 5.0),或100 mM MES(pH 5.0)中。
取含10 µg 苯甲醛修饰的蛋白溶液,加入95 µl 制备好的0.5 mM 2-hydrazinopyridine · 2HCl缓冲液中,37°C孵育1小时,或室温孵育2小时。计算反应溶液中蛋白浓度,测定溶液350 nm的光吸收值(以同样体积缓冲液替代蛋白溶液参加反应作为空白对照)。
按以下公式计算hydrazine/protein 的MSR值: MSR=(样本吸光度-空白对照吸光度)/(测试溶液中蛋白浓度 x18000 x 路径长度) 注:路径长度指光通过测试样本的长度,一般可用比色槽内部宽度替代
