Kinetic parameters for binding of factor VIII light chain to immobilized scFv.
Factor VIII light chain (20 nM) was incubated with immobilized scFv KM33 (3.3 fmol/mm2), KM35 (63.3 fmol/mm2), KM36 (67.5 fmol/mm2), KM37 (28.3 fmol/mm2), KM38 (32.3 fmol/mm2), and KM41 (25.0 fmol/mm2) in 200 mM NaCl, 2 mM CaCl2, 0.05% (v/v) Tween 20, and 20 mM HEPES, pH 7.4 at a flow rate of 20 μL/min for 2 minutes at 25°C. Dissociation was initiated on replacement of ligand solution by buffer. Response is indicated as resonance units (RU) and is corrected for nonspecific binding (< 5%). To obtain similar values of resonance units for all scFv, the amount of scFv KM33 immobilized was approximately 10-fold reduced compared to the other scFv. Similar values of kon and koffwere found when higher concentrations of scFv KM33 were immobilized.
