Outline of Final Research Achievements |
We focused on the specific separation of glycoproteins by the recognition of sugar chains using a spongy monolith (SPM) as a separation medium. As a fundamental study, we prepared SPMs modified with a few lectins for lectin affinity chromatography (LAC). After packing the modified SPM into the column, the adsorption selectivity due to the lectin affinity was evaluated. Additionally, the collecting procedures were also optimized by changing the elution conditions. Additionally, new SPMs were developed for the separation of an extracellular vesicle, exosome and a corona virus, SARS-CoV-2. In former case, the specific lectins were immobilized onto a SPM and the selective separation of exosomes were successfully achieved. In case of the virus separation, an antibody was modified onto a SPM for the selective adsorption of a spike protein on SARS-CoV-2. Then, we finally achieved to selective concentration of SARS-CoV-2 from a pseudo salivary sample.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
今後,同手法を用いることで,エクソソームの構造解析や機能解明が加速し,また,細胞培養液あるいは種々の生体試料中からの効率的なエクソソーム分離技術開発を促進することが期待できる。さらに,本法はエクソソームにとどまらず,ウイルス等の生体関連ナノ粒子の分離に好適である。本材料は,通常の硬質の分離基材とは異なり,極めて柔軟性の高い材料であることから,ニーズに応じた形状、サイズの分離場を構築することが容易であり,今後,ユニバーサルデザイン性を利用した様々な応用研究並びに実用化が期待される。
