title: Human immunoglobulin M purification by affinity chromatography on protein A--Sepharose.
abstract: A method is described for preparing IgM from normal serum in two chromatographic steps. A gel filtration column gives a macroglobulin peak containing the IgM, purified by affinity chromatography on protein A--Sepharose. Immunoglobulin recovery is around 50%.
