Abstract
During the use of chromatographic supports for the purification of proteins or the selective removal of substances by immunoaffinity, leakage of the antibodies immobilized on the matrix is systematically observed. When the cleansing of blood plasma by extracorporeal circulation is concerned, it is of prime importance that the immunoadsorbents exhibit an extensive chemical stability over the whole range of experimental conditions. To study and minimize this leakage, a matrix, Sepharose CL-4B, was activated by various chemical reagents and coupled to goat anti-apolipoprotein B polyclonal antibodies. Immunoadsorbents thus prepared were compared with those obtained earlier by cyanogen bromide activation. It turns out that divinyl sulphone- and tresyl chloride-activated supports lead to similar results in terms of coupling yield and adsorption capacity, but to a significant reduction in released antibodies.
