Affinity haemoadsorbents based on WY, WTY, WNY ligands and polysaccharide matrix were developed for the human immunoglobulin G binding. The characteristics of new sorbents such as the binding of total IgG and binding of IgG subclasses were compared. It was found that all new sorbents well extract the IgG from the blood plasma. It was evidenced that WNY-based sorbent is more effective for binding of IgG subclass 3. The determination of physic-chemical characteristics of IgG binding revealed that desorption constants for IgG are 10 ± 3, 28 ± 4 and 13 ± 3 µM for WY, WTY, WNY based sorbents respectively. Maximum sorption capacities for IgG are 43 ± 2, 45 ± 3 and 46 ± 3 mg IgG per ml of sorbent for WY, WTY, WNY based sorbents respectively. Also it was shown that the new sorbents are compatible with blood and are suitable for the medical purposes.

Affinity Chromatography

Affinity chromatography is a powerful technique extensively utilized for separating and purifying specific biomolecules from complex mixtures. It capitalizes on the highly selective binding between an analyte and its counterpart, such as antibody-antigen interactions. The counterpart is immobilized on the stationary phase, forming an affinity column. The stationary phase typically consists of solid support, such as agarose or porous glass beads, immobilizing the affinity ligand. The mobile...

Immunoprecipitation

Immunoprecipitation, or IP, is a widely used technique that employs protein-antibody interactions to isolate proteins or protein complexes in their native state for studying protein-protein interactions, quaternary structures, or supramolecular complexes. Various modifications of the technique, including chromatin IP, cross-linking IP, and fluorescence IP, are commonly used.

Antibody Structure

Overview
Antibodies, also known as immunoglobulins (Ig), are essential players of the adaptive immune system. These antigen-binding proteins are produced by B cells and make up 20 percent of the total blood plasma by weight. In mammals, antibodies fall into five different classes, which each elicits a different biological response upon antigen binding.
