Natural antibodies are now widely studied for their therapeutical potential. Therefore, their isolation and subsequent characterization is desired. Here, we describe an isolation method for natural anti-tau antibodies from human plasma by utilization of affinity chromatography with epoxy-activated copolymer resin. The evalution of isolation efficiency and avidity of isolated antibodies is decribed by modified indirect ELISA assay.
