Objective: To purify IgG molecules from several species by SpA-affinity chromatography and to study the interactions of mammalian IgGs with a peroxidase-labelled SpL, SpA and SpG conjugate (SPLAG-HRP) in an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Materials and methods: The periodate method described by Nakane and Kawoi was used to prepare the SPLAG-HRP conjugate. The 10% non-denaturing sodium dodecyl sulphate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) of sera and purified immunoglobulins was carried out to characterize molecularly the purified IgGs. The chicken IgY fraction was isolated by the chloroform-polyethylene glycol (PEG) method for its use as a negative control in the ELISA that was used to determine the affinity of different immunoglobulins to a SPLAG-HRP conjugate. Results: The SpA-affinity chromatography and the 10% non-denaturing SDS-PAGE of sera an.. Read More»
