Popis: IgG-ovalbumin aggregates were used to bind and activate Cl from human serum. The resulting Cl bound to the insoluble support provided a convenient tool for studying the release of Cl sub-components under various conditions of pH and ionic strength. In the presence of calcium, Clr and Cls were removed in parallel under all the conditions employed, with a minimum release at pH 7.0 and at low ionic strength. The elution behaviour of Clq was distinct from that of the Clr-Cls pair. The experimental conditions used demonstrated the presence of two separate entities in Cl: firstly, Clq and secondly, Clr plus Cls. Cl bound to IgG-ovalbumin was employed for a rapid purification of Clq, Clr and Cls sub-components. Clr plus Cls were first selectively released with EDTA † . Clr was separated from Cls by DEAE-cellulose chromatography, and Cls was further purified on anti-Clr IgG-Sepharose 6B in order to remove contaminant Clr. Clq still bound to IgG-ovalbumin aggregates was removed at pH 10.0 in the presence of 0.7 M NaCl and further purified by CM-cellulose chromatography. Clq, Clr and Cls were obtained in good yield and in pure form, as judged by immunodiffusion analysis and SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis.
