Abstract
A large pore polyamide resin is useful for large peptide and protein (protide) synthesis. A method of preparing the same comprises mixing a dimethylacrylamide monomer with an unsaturated or alkenoyl amine monomer, a cross-linker and water, homogeneously emulsifying the aqueous mixture with an organic solvent in the presence of an emulsifier, adjusting the pH of the aqueous mixture during polymerization to 6-8.5 to produce large pore resin beads, and isolating the beads. The beads may be used as a solid phase substrate for the synthesis of a polyamide/protide conjugate. The polyamide resin/protide conjugate may be used, without separation of the protide from the resin or subsequent purification, for immunizing mammals, including humans, against the protide, for affinity purifying immunological molecules binding to the protide, and for immunoassays.
