Popis: | Four monoclonal antibodies (including Ig subclasses, G1, G2a, and G2b) were purified from murine ascitic fluid by a preparative electrophoresis system using a charge- and size-based strategy. Most of the smaller contaminating proteins were removed at pH 8.3 when the ascitic fluid was passed through a cartridge containing a separating membrane with a pore size of M(r) 100,000. After this single step, the immunoglobulin heavy and light chains were the only significant bands present when analysed by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. A second step, involving electrophoresis at pH 6.4-7.5 depending on the antibody can be used to remove residual contaminants. For each of the antibodies tested, the recovery of activity at each step was over 80%. As this technology is directly scalable, purification of antibodies by the method described here could be considered a cost effective alternative to protein A chromatography. |
