Purification of Rabbit Antiserum with Agarose Protein-A beads

Material and Reagent

Agarose beads, Bio-gel A supports,Cat: 151-0150, Source: BIO-RAD

Agarose protein A, Vector sp-0050 or GIBCO 15918-014

Tris-HCL buffer, 1.0M pH8.0

Tris-HCL buffer, 100mM pH8.0

Tris-HCL buffer, 10mM pH8.0

Glycine solution 100mM adjusted to pH3 with acetic acid

 

Procedure

  1. Wash the agarose and agarose protein A separately with 0,01M phosphate buffered saline (0.15M NaCL,PB: pH7.5)
    Use 1ml agarose or agarose proteinA for 1ml serum.
    Add 9-10ml PBS to 1ml agarose or agarose protein A
    Mix, Centrifuge at 2000RPM 4°C for 10min X3.
  2. Take 1ml antiserum and add 100ul Tris-HCL buffer 1.)M pH8.0.
  3. Mix the adjusted antiserum withwashed agarose on arocking plate for 10min.
  4. Centrifuge for 5 min at 2900RPM.
  5. Collect the supernatant
  6. Put the supernatant into washed protein A agarose, mix with gentle shaking for 1hour at 4°C.
  7. Centrifuge for 5 min at 2000 RPM.
  8. Discard the supernatant
  9. Wash with Tris-HCL buffer 100mM, Ph8.0
  10. Centrifuge for 5 min at 2000 RPM
  11. Repeat from8-10.
  12. Discard the supernatant
  13. Wash with Tris-HCL buffer 10mM, Ph8.0
  14. Centrifuge for 5 min at 2000 RPM
  15. Repeat from 12-14.
  16. Discard the supernatant.
  17. Elute the antibody witrh 500ul 100mM glycine acetic buffer pH3.0, Shaking on a roking plate for 10min.
  18. Centrifuge foe 5 min at 2800 RPM.
  19. Collect the supernatant and add 50ul of 1.0M Tris-HCL buffer, pH8.0(1/10 volume of elution buffer)
  20. Put 1 volume of glycerol to the purified antibody, aliquot and store in -20°C or -80°C.
  21. Wash the beads with PBS (0.15M NaCL,PB: pH7.5)
  22. Store the beads at 4°C. It can be reused for purification the same antiserum,
