The antibody fraction (less than 6ml) was added to immobilized enzyme (2ml of packed gel). The antibodies were recycled for 2h and the unattached antibodies washed from the gel for 1 h. Specific antibodies were eluted by washing with citric acid (0.1 M, pH2.2). Experiments marked with an asterisk were performed simultaneously. The molecular weights of immunoglobulin G and creatine kinase were t...
