title: Desorption of immunoglobulins from Protein A-Sepharose CL-4B under mild conditions.
abstract: Conditions which permit the dissociation of IgG-staphylococcal protein A interactions without resort to low pH buffers or the use of chaotropic ions are discussed in relation to: (a) the mechanism of the binding reaction; (b) the use of immobilised protein A for purification of cells or removal of immune complexes from serum. Glycyl-tyrosine, glycyl-histidine, glycyl-phenylalanine and tryptophan, representing the class of competing ligand desorbents, and ethylene glycol, an agent which disrupts hydrophobic interactions, were found to be the best desorbents.
