Purification of IgG from serum (1ml)
1. Dilute serum with 1XPBS 1:1
2. Equilibrate the protein A agarose (rabbit serum) or protein G agarose (mouse ascites) (600ul) with 1ml of 1X PBS, 3 times
3. Load the diluted serum into pre-equilibrated protein A agarose
4. Harvest the pass-through (DO NOT discard). Reload the pass-through into the protein A agarose column repeat 2 times.
5. Wash the column with 1ml of 1X PBS 3 times.
6. Add 100mM Glycine(pH 2.5) 600ul and harvest pass-through in eppendorf tube filled with 60ul 1 M Tris-HCl (pH 8.0)and invert the tube to fully mix the solution.
7. Repeat 5 times step 5
8. Quantify the IgG with Bradford assay
9. Pick up the fraction and exchange the buffer with 1X PBS containing 15% glycerol using PD10 column.
10. Quantify protein and store at –70 degree.
