Preparation of monospecific antiserums against porcine immunoglobulins, using agarose-linked immunosorbents

Immunoglobulins IgG, IgA, and IgM were isolated from porcine serum and milk, and antiserums against the 3 immunoglobulin classes were prepared. Monospecificity of the antiserums for the gamma-, alpha-, and mu-chains was obtained by absorbing them in agarose-linked immunosorbent columns. These immunosorbents were prepared by linking IgG or IgA-IgM to CNBr-activated agarose. Contaminating anti-alpha2-macroglobulin antibodies in the anti-IgA and anti-IgM serums were removed with agarose-linked fetal globulins.
