Description
Summary:Nanofibers (NFs) are potential candidates as filter materials for affinity separation owing to their high liquid permeability based on their high porosity. Multiple and complex processes were conventionally performed to immobilize proteins for modifying NF surfaces. A simple method must be developed to immobilize proteins without impairing their biological activity. Herein, we succeeded in fabricating NFs with a core of cellulose acetate and a shell of hydrophilic polyvinyl alcohol immobilized with staphylococcal recombinant protein A by a one-step process based on core-shell electrospinning. A total of 12.9 mg/cm of antibody was captured in the fiber shell through high affinity with protein A immobilized in an aqueous environment of the hydrogel. The maximum adsorption site and dissociation constant evaluated by the Langmuir model were 87.8 µg and 1.37 µmol/L, respectively. The fiber sheet withstood triplicate use. Thus, our NF exhibited high potential as a material for membrane chromatography.
