Efficient purification is crucial to providing large quantities of recombinant therapeutic proteins, such as monoclonal antibodies and cytokines. However, affinity techniques for manufacturing protein therapeutics that use biomolecule-conjugated agarose beads that harness specific biomolecular interactions suffer from issues related to protein denaturation, contamination and the need to maintain biomolecule-specific conditions for efficient protein capture. Here, we report a versatile and scalable method for the purification of recombinant protein therapeutics. The method exploits the high-affinity and controllable host-guest interactions between cucurbit[7]uril (CB[7]) and selected guests such as adamantylammonium. We show that the Herceptin (the brand name of trastuzumab, a monoclonal antibody drug used to treat breast cancer) and the much smaller cytokine interferon alpha-2a can be purified by site-specifically tagging them with adamantylammonium using the enzyme sortase A, followed by high-affinity binding with CB[7]-conjugated agarose beads and the recovery of the protein using a guest with a stronger affinity for CB[7]. The thermal and chemical stability of CB[7] beads and their scalability, recyclability and low cost may also make them advantageous for the manufacturing of biosimilars. The high-affinity and controllable host-guest interactions between cucurbit[7]uril and selected guests enables a versatile and scalable method for the purification of recombinant protein therapeutics.
