introduction: polyclonal antibodies are required to be affinity purified. improved purification methods of polyclonal antibody provide an opportunity to pick the most purified immunoglobulins as a primary or secondary antibody in immunoassays that are included in many vaccine studies. two common techniques for purifying proteins is salt precipitation and chromatography purification. our work fo...

after using 3 different generations of antibodies including human and non-human hyperimmune sera, monoclonal antibodies and chimeric antibodies, more recently a newer approach has been developed in which the antibody genes are cloned directly from a patient peripheral b-lymphocytes and expressed in a host like e. coli. in this study the candida albicans serotype a (nctc 3153) mannan was purifie...

background: the fc receptor like (fcrl) molecules belong to the immunoglobulin (ig) superfamily with potentially immunoregulatoryfunction. among the fcrl family fcrl2 and 4 are predominantly expressed on memory b cells and fcrl1 is a pan- b cell marker. to date, noligand has been identifid for the human fcrl1, 2 and 4 molecules.objectives: cloning, expression, purifiation and structural analysi...

background: the ability of polyclonal antibodies to react with many epitopes of an antigen makes them valuable reagents in research and diagnosis. the aim of this study was purification of mouse igg2a and production of polyclonal antibody against purified mouse igg2a subclass. materials and methods: mouse igg2a was purified by proa affinity. verification method of the purified antibody was sds-...

conclusions the rabies virus np could be extracted and purified in an appropriate amount from infected cell culture. the results of sds-page analysis showed that the intact rabies virus np had been purified properly and thus could be used for further steps to produce the specific diagnostic rabies conjugate. results the volume of the lysate was 15 ml and it became 2.5 ml after purification, wit...

A murine IgM monoclonal antibody (MA-2C6) with κ-light chains directed against an antigenic determinant of outer surface protein A (OspA) of the Lyme disease spirochete, Borreliaburgdorferi, is produced. This antibody could bind specifically to OspA antigen of several isolates of B. burgdorferi, but not to the non-Lyme disease bacteria such as T. pallidum and B. hermsii. Antibody MA-2C6 was pur...

diphtheria is a fatal disease caused by exotoxin of corynebacterium     diphtheria .  this toxin consists of   two chains, catalytic chain (a) and binding (b) chain. by binding chain (b),   the toxin binds to its receptor on numerous body cells such as myocardial,   kidney and peripheral nerve cells. after entering, catalytic chain (a)   inhibits protein synthesis and finally can cause cell dea...

Culture medium used in antibody purification contains growth factors, but is usually discarded after antibody purification. We examined to determine whether the growth factors can be (i) recovered and (ii) used in subsequent cell culture. Using this medium enhanced the survival of hybridoma cells and improved antibody production. Culture medium previously used in antibody purification offers an...
