It remains challenging to precisely decipher the structural and functional characteristics of protein coronas. To overcome the drawbacks frequently occurring in the traditional separation methods, an anti-PEG single-chain variable fragment (PEG-scFv) based affinity chromatography (AfC) was developed to achieve precise and efficient separation of protein coronas on PEGylated liposomes (sLip). His-tagged PEG-scFv could readily capture sLip without affecting protein corona compositions, and separate sLip/protein complex from plasma protein aggregates and endogenous vesicles through the Ni-NTA column. AfC demonstrated 43-fold higher protein corona collecting efficiency than centrifugation, which was extremely crucial for separation of in vivo protein coronas due to the limitation of sample size. AfC evaded contamination by endogenous vesicles and protein aggregates occurring in centrifugation, and reserved the loosely bound proteins, providing an unprecedented approach to deeply decipher protein coronas. The scFv-based AfC also paves new avenues for the separation of protein coronas formed on other nanomedicines.
