title: Binding of dog immunoglobulins G, A, M, and E to concanavalin A.
abstract: The binding of dog immunoglobulins G, A, M and E to concanavalin A (Con A) has been investigated. A passive cutaneous anaphylaxis test was used for measurement of dog IgE, and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay was used for measurement of dog IgG, IgA and IgM. After the dog serum fraction was applied to a Con A-Sepharose column, sequential elution with different buffers was performed; 100% of IgE and IgM, 60% of IgG and 58% of IgA bound to the Con A-Sepharose. IgE was eluted by mannose, methylglucose, and methylmannoside. IgG was eluted by glucose, mannose, methylglucose, and methylmannoside. IgA and IgM were eluted by methylmannoside only. This provides a useful technique in the purification of dog immunoglobulins, especially dog IgE.
