Background:

Antibodies (Abs) from patients with autoimmune diseases exhibit diverse catalytic functions.
Efficient purification of these functional Abs is critical for research and potential therapeutic applications.
Existing purification methods may compromise antibody integrity and function.

Purpose of the Study:

To review current methods for recovering catalytic antibodies from patient sera.
To introduce and evaluate a novel purification strategy using histidine-immobilized adsorbents.
To demonstrate the recovery of intact, catalytically active antibodies.

Main Methods:

Review of literature on antibody purification techniques.
Application of adsorbents with immobilized histidine for antibody capture.
Elution of antibodies using gentle conditions to preserve native structure and function.

Main Results:

Histidine-immobilized adsorbents provide high yield and purity of antibodies.
Gentle elution conditions ensure the recovery of intact, non-denatured antibodies.
This method facilitates direct recovery of catalytically functional antibodies from sera.

Conclusions:

Adsorbents with immobilized histidine represent an efficient and gentle method for purifying catalytic antibodies.
This technique overcomes limitations of traditional methods, preserving antibody function.
It enables the isolation of intact, catalytically active antibodies crucial for autoimmune disease research.
