Designed proteins for pH switchable antibody purification

Abstract

Modified Fc-binding domain polypeptides or polypeptides including one or more modified Fc-binding domains are provided. In some examples, a modified Fc-binding domain includes or consists of the amino acid sequence of any one of SEQ ID NOs: 4, 6, or 8. Nucleic acids encoding the modified Fc-binding domains or polypeptides including one or more of the modified Fc-binding domains are also provided. In some embodiments, the nucleic acids are included in a vector and may be operably linked to a promoter. Methods for purifying a polypeptide including one or more Fc regions are also provided. Kits and reagents including the modified Fc-binding domain polypeptides or polypeptides including one or more modified Fc-binding domains are provided. In some examples, the modified Fc-binding domain polypeptides or polypeptides including one or more modified Fc-binding domains are linked to a solid support.
