Immunofluorescence determination of IgG following high performance liquid gel permeation chromatography

The application of high performance liquid gel permeation chromatography (HPL-GPC) and immunofluorescence for the estimation of a protein was studied using human IgG as a model system following separation of the fluorescent immune complex from free fluorescent-labelled antibody on a column of HPL-GPC. Using FITC-labelled anti-human IgG Fab fragment and HPL-GPC, nanogram levels of IgG could be determined within 5 min of mixing the antigen and antiserum. HPL-GPC immunofluorescence analysis is sensitive specific, simple, rapid and highly versatile.
