Biologically Active Water-insoluble Protein Polymers 1. THEIR USE FOR ISOLATION OF ANTIGENS AND ANTIBODIES
نویسنده
چکیده
Insoluble antigen and antibody derivatives were obtained when ethyl chloroformate was added to solutions of antigen or antibody. Evidence has been obtained to show that polymerization has occurred and that the protein molecules are linked covalently to one another. The immunoadsorbent properties of these insolubilized proteins were investigated. They were found to be efficient, specific, and stable immunoadsorbents, and were used to isolate specific antibodies from a number of proteins, to isolate antigens from mixtures, and to remove contaminating antigen and antibody proteins from solutions.

متن کاملPreparation and properties of water-insoluble derivatives of trypsin.
The conversion of enzymes into water-insoluble products possessing specific catalytic activity is of interest, since such water-insoluble enzyme derivatives can readily be removed from the reaction mixture and can be used for the preparation of columns with enzymatic activity. When stable, they can be employed repeatedly to induce specific chemical changes in relatively large amounts of substra...
متن کاملProduction and Characterization of Monoclonal Antibodies Recognizing a Common 57-kDa Antigen of Leishmania Species
Background: The therapy of leishmania infection is difficult and each year 1.5 million new cases of cutaneous leishmaniasis and 500,000 new cases of visceral leishmaniasis are estimated, therefore, there is a need for an effective vaccine. Monoclonal antibody (mAb) is one of the suitable methods for isolation and purification of leishmania antigens. In this report, we produced several mAb aga...
متن کاملProfile and protective role of 61kDa and 47kDa antigens of Edwardsiella tarda in rohu (Labeo rohita)
Edwardsiella tarda is a versatile pathogen that could survive in different environmental conditions and infect economically important fish species. The whole cell antigenic proteins were extracted from E. tarda and assessed via Western blot using anti E. trada rohu and anti E. trada rabbit serum. Two strong reacted proteins with antibodies were recovered viz 61 kDa and 47 kDa from SDS PAGE gels...
متن کاملMonoclonal Antibodies as Therapeutic Agents: Advances and Challenges
Despite the major advances in conventional forms of treatment (i.e. surgical techniques, radiotherapy and chemotherapy) and improved survival rates, cancer is still the second leading cause of death in developing countries. One major limitation of cytotoxic drugs and radiation in the treatment of cancer patients is their inability to discriminate between malignant and normal tissues. This in tu...
