Publication number: 20260152526Abstract: Immunoglobulin (Ig) binding proteins having one or more domains having highly hydrophobic amino acids with branched side chains (Iso, Leu, Val), or aromatic amino acids (Tyr, Phe, or Trp) corresponding to position 4 or 6 or 8 of the Ig binding protein of SEQ ID NO: 1 or functionally similar proteins are provided. The disclosed proteins have superior properties for highly efficient purification methods for antibodies (immunoglobulins), for example, the proteins have high binding capacity and high chemical stability. Also provided are affinity matrices that include the disclosed Ig binding proteins, uses of these Ig binding proteins and/or affinity matrices for affinity purification of immunoglobulins, and methods for affinity purification using the disclosed Ig binding proteins.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 6, 2026Publication date: June 4, 2026Applicant: Navigo Proteins GmbHInventors: Paul Knick, Hanna Bobolowski, Mathias Kahl, Erik Fiedler, Ulrich Haupts
