title: A novel approach to monoclonal antibody separation using high performance liquid affinity chromatography (HPLAC) with SelectiSpher-10 protein G.
abstract: Protein G, a bacterial cell wall protein extracted from strains of Streptococci, has been employed as a ligand in high performance liquid affinity chromatography (HPLAC) for separation of monoclonal antibodies. Examples are given of rapid high-resolution separations of rat and mouse monoclonal antibodies belonging to various subclasses. In comparison with protein A chromatography, we were able to show superior binding characteristics for SelectiSpher-10 protein G columns under conditions of 'low' ionic strength (about 0.1 M) and neutral pH (pH approximately 7). The monoclonal antibodies were isolated in high purity (greater than 90%) and with good recovery of specific activity (80-100%). We believe that the HPLAC technology based on SelectiSpher-10 protein G is of potential value in the analysis and purification of monoclonal antibodies from various species and subclasses.
