Maximum binding of proteinA-fusion protein to IgG agarose

[Wolfgang Schechinger]

Dear Aikiwa, 
I purify IgGs from Serum on ProtA agarose using the usual protocol:

1) I dilute serum 10 times with PBS, TrisBuffer or 0.9% NaCl 
(whatever is around) 

2) Pass through column

3) wash with plenty (10 vol) of buffer, if necessary, watch A280 or 
whatever appropriate

4) Elute AB with Glycine HCl pH2 (should be aprox 100 mM if I 
remember right

Should work on chemically immobilized AB, too. 

Pharmacia has nice N-hydroxy-succinimide activated prepacked columns 
(1 and 5ml). Not shure if they're right for your purpose, but I you 
have some handy, why not try them out?

Good luck!

Wolfgang
