Hi
I am using MAbTrap Kit with HiTrap Protein G HP 1 ml column(Amersham),
to purify a recombinant human antibody (IgG1). This antibody is
expressed in adherent CHO cells. I am using DMEM with 5% SYNSER. I am
not using any FCS in culture. SYNSER is a Hybridoma growth supplement
from Biological Industries, Israel. I am facing the following problem
in purification:
I performed an ELISA to check antigen binding with different fraction.
I used equal amount of each fraction for the ELISA ( 0.5 micro gm
/well). I measured the protein content of each fraction both by OD280
and by Bradford reagent BioRad.
1. Crude culture supernatant: ELISA O.D = 1.6/0.5 micro gm
2. Flow through: ELISA O.D = 0.3/0.5 micro gm
3. Eluted fraction: ELISA O.D = 0.6/0.5 micro gm
As far as I understand the purified eluted fraction should give more
ELISA reading than the original crude sample.
It seems, I am loosing lots of the antibody. But OD280 of Wash
fractions were near zero.
How can I increase the yield of purification?
Can the neutralization buffer, used during purification, creat problem
in ELISA?
Expecting your suggestions.
With regards
