title: Purification of IgM monoclonal antibody from murine ascitic fluid by a two-step column chromatography procedure.
abstract: Two IgM monoclonal antibodies (Mabs) were purified from murine ascitic fluid by a two-step procedure involving pseudoligand affinity chromatography on immobilized Cibacron Blue F3GA and gel filtration chromatography on ACA-22. The purified IgM from one ascites sample, H-1, was determined to be homogeneous by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis while ascites containing E3.1 IgM Mab, was purified to greater than 95% IgM. The retention of biological activity was confirmed by immunofluorescence staining of peripheral blood lymphocytes.
