For many biochemical applications including immunohistology, not only highly specific antibodies are of great importance, the degree of purity with respect to the bulk of contaminating proteins in sera is also a matter of concern. Even if sometimes hyperimmune sera may work quite well, it is preferable to get familiar with the most applied procedures and to select a dedicated way for the antibo...

anufacturers strive toward cost-effective purification of target molecules and a high level of confidence that their biologics are safe and not compromised by the presence of endogenous retrovirus-like particles or adventitious viruses (1). Reliable reduction of viral particles throughout downstream purification processes must be ensured through different techniques such as chemical treatment, ...
