Specific immunoadsorption of blood group antibodies by synthetic antigens immobilized on support matrices in the peri-transplantation period provides a promising solution to hyperacute rejection risk following ABO-incompatible transplantation. In this study, we investigated binding interactions between anti-A antibodies and synthetic blood group A trisaccharide conjugated with polyacrylamide of different molecular weights (30 and 1000 kDa). The glycopolymers were equipped with biotin tags and deposited on streptavidin-coated sensor chips. The affinity and kinetics of anti-A antibodies binding to glycoconjugates were studied using surface plasmon resonance (SPR). The high molecular weight conjugate (Atri-PAA(1000)-biotin) enhanced antibody binding capacity by two to three fold compared with the low molecular weight conjugate (Atri-PAA(30)-biotin), whereas varying the carbohydrate content in Atri-PAA(1000)-biotin (20 mol % or 50 mol %) did not affect antibody binding capacity of the glycoconjugate. The obtained results suggest that immunoadsorption devices, especially hollow fiber-based antibody filters which are limited in available surface area for antigen immobilization, may greatly benefit from the new synthetic high molecular weight polyacrylamide glycoconjugates.
