In plasma and serum, the presence of high-abundance proteins can overwhelm the signals of low-abundance proteins, which then become undetectable either by two-dimensional gels or chromatographic techniques. Therefore, depletion of abundant proteins is a prerequisite to detect low-abundance components. Furthermore, the regeneration of pre-purification tools could be money-saving. We applied an affinity chromatography kit to remove albumin and the immunoglobulin chains from plasma and propose a simple and effective technical procedure for the regeneration of these affinity columns.
