Abstract

A method using polyethylene-glycol and immobilized pepsin for purifying heterologous antitoxic antibodies is described. Using horse antitetanus plasma or sera, F(ab')2 fragments exhibiting specific activities in the range of 150 IU per mg protein were repeatedly isolated with a yield around 80%. The procedure was scaled up from 200 ml up to 201.

Antibody Specificity

Antibodies produced by B cells are highly specific for antigen as a result of random gene recombination and somatic hypermutation and affinity maturation. As the main effector of the humoral immune system, antibodies can neutralize foreign cells. Find the latest research on antibody specificity here.
