hesis and characterization of t
hermoresponsive, water-soluble poly-
N-isopropyl acrylamide (PNIPAM) derived macroligands displayingcyclosporin A (CsA) and dexamethasone (Dex) for use as novel affinity resins are described. Characterization of t
hese soluble macroligands,including ligand loading and integrity, was determined by
1H NMR spectroscopy. One of t
he CsA macroligands was used in a protein affinityexperiment to capture known binding proteins of CsA, t
he cyclophilins, from Jurkat T-cell lysates.
