  anti-RAT and MOUSE ANTIBODIES  

Mouse Immunoglobulin Purification Information

RDI Division of Fitzgerald Industries Intl  offers a wide line of  antibodies. Since no one antibody works best for all applications (neutralization, blotting, ELISA, etc), we offer many different types of antibodies to help solve this problem. Please inquire for other applications or types of antibodies not listed below.


TECHNIQUE OF PURIFICATION OF MOUSE Ig BY IMMUNOAFFINITY CHROMATOGRAPHY


"x" ml of serum or ascitic fluid from BALB/c mice bearing or not a hybridoma are applied at a rate of about 2 ml/min at room temperature to a column of Sepharose-4B (Pharmacia, Belgium) on which "y" mg of rat monoAb anti-mouse Ig has been immobilized. The column is washed with 100-120 ml of phosphate buffered saline (PBS), then 100 ml of PBS containing 2.5 M NaCl, and then again at normal salinity with 100 ml of PBS. Mouse immunoglobulins are eluted by decreasing the pH with glycin HCL 0.1 M + 0.15 M NaCl buffer at pH 2.8*. The eluted fractions are neutralized as rapidly as possible after the elution with glycin NaOH buffer (0.1 M, pH 8.6) (Bazin et al., 1986; Cormont et al., 1986).


Examples of capacity of monoAb immunoaffinity column can be found in Bazin and Malache (1986).


For example, with the present experimental conditions, they were of 0.2 mg of mouse IgM for 1 mg of LO-MM-9 coupled to Sepharose-4B and 1 mg of mouse IgG1 for 1 mg of LO-MG1-2 coupled to Sepharose-4B.


*Depending on the rat monoclonal antibodies, the pH of the eluting buffer could be from pH 2.8 to pH 4.5.
