Abstract:
Whey, a by-product of cheese production, is a potential source of proteins. Immunization of dairy cows in mid-lactation with mouse IgG and dinitrophenyl-keyhole limpet hemocyanin resulted in the formation of antibodies to these antigens in both blood serum and milk. The antibodies remained in whey during cheese making, and were isolated by immunoaffinity chromatography on matrices with immobilized antigens. The isolated monospecific antibodies were pure and retained their reactivity to antigens.
