Pure Protein, L.L.C. is a biotechnology company focused on the development and commercialization of proprietary technologies related to the human leukocyte antigen (HLA) system, exclusively licensed from the University of Oklahoma. Pure Protein, in conjunction with its affiliates and subsidiaries, aims to bring novel therapies and diagnostic tools to patients across a wide range of application areas spanning from therapeutic development in the fields of oncology, autoimmunity, and infectious disease, to antibody mediated rejection in transplantation.
Pure Protein is proud to announce the launch of its new website www.hlaprotein.com to offer researchers naturally folded and endogenously loaded soluble HLA proteins and improved vaccination and therapeutic targeting strategies through its HLA peptide epitope binding services to validate, screen, or map immune targets.
About Us
Founded in 1999, Pure Protein is a portfolio company of leading life sciences technology management firm Emergent Technologies, Inc. Pure Protein’s business operations are based in Austin, TX with research & development and production facilities in Oklahoma City, OK.
Pure Protein addresses the commercial and research need for supply of single specificity, glycosylated HLA proteins. The company was founded on the unique and proprietary technologies developed by Chief Scientists Dr. William Hildebrand at the University of Oklahoma Health Sciences Center.

Technology
Pure Protein has pioneered an approach to produce soluble forms of HLA Class I and Class II proteins (sHLA). Only Pure Protein can make significant quantities of this highly purified and naturally processed product. These endogenously loaded, naturally glycosylated proteins can be used for critical research and in the development of diagnostics and therapeutics needed for a variety of immunotherapy applications.
Pure Protein’s sHLA proteins provide superior scale, yield, and purity over other products. The genetic compositions, production methods, and uses, including antibody removal, antibody detection, and target discovery are protected by a series of issued and pending patents. In addition to patents, Pure Protein has developed a comprehensive suite of proprietary know-how and expertise over its years of HLA research.
Pure Protein’s sHLA are naturally glycosylated and loaded with the full repertoire of endogenous peptide ligands, unlike HLA production using bacterial and insect systems. Because Pure Protein synthesizes HLA proteins in mammalian cells rather than insect or bacterial cells, Pure Protein’s sHLA circumvent the purification and production issues afflicting competing technologies. After over twenty years of research, Pure Protein has developed hundreds of Class I and Class II sHLA proteins representing all major classes A, B, C, DR, DQ, DP.
