<b>PVA-Glutaraldehyde as support for lectin immobilization and affinity chromatography
Abstract
Immobilized lectins are a powerful biotechnological tool for separation and isolation of glycoconjugates. In the present study, polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) and glutaraldehyde (GA) were used as a support for Concanavalin A (Con A) covalent immobilization and for entrapment of Parkia pendula seed gum (PpeG). Con A immobilization yielded approximately 30% and 0.6 M glucose solution was the minimum concentration able to elute fetuin from column. PVA-GA-PpeG column was efficiently recognized by pure P. pendula lectin (PpeL). These findings indicate that PVA-GA interpenetrated network showed to be an efficient support for lectin covalent immobilization and as affinity chromatography matrix after trapping of PpeG.
