Abstract:
A monoclonal antibody prepared against TEM-1 beta-lactamase was found to compete with penicillins and cephalosporins for binding to the enzyme. The purified antibody preparation was linked to Sepharose 4B and used for immunoaffinity-chromatography purification of TEM-1 beta-lactamase. Elution with either benzylpenicillin or cloxacillin yielded a highly purified, concentrated and active enzyme preparation.
