Affinity chromatography antibodies

Antibody affinity chromatography is employed to isolate antigen-specific antibodies. The most common affinity matrix for coupling of molecules is cyanogen bromide-activated...

In this case, highly specific biochemical interactions provide the means of separation. The stationary phase contains specific groups of molecules which can only adsorb the sample if certain steric and charge-related conditions are satisfied (cf. interaction between antigens and antibodies). Affinity chromatography can be used to isolate proteins (enzymes as well as stmctural proteins), lipids, etc., from complex mixtures without involving any great expenditure. 

Whole serum can be used in preliminary evaluation of antibody performance, but the final lateral flow assay should be developed with purified antibody. Affinity chromatography with protein A or G can purify total antibodies from the serum, but purification on immobilized antigen is preferred, since it isolates only analyte-specific antibodies (2). Using only antibodies specific to the target helps minimize background and increase assay sensitivity. 

Affinity Chromatography The ability of proteins to bind specifically to other molecules is the basis of affinity chromatography. In this technique, ligand molecules that bind to the protein of interest are covalently attached to the beads used to form the column. Ligands can be enzyme substrates or other small molecules that bind to specific proteins. In a widely used form of this technique, antibody-affinity chromatography, the attached ligand is an antibody specific for the desired protein (Figure 3-34c).
