Isolation of Maackia fauriei lectin using immunoglubulin Y-affinity chromatography

  • Published : 2003.04.01

Abstract

Immunoglobulin Y (IgY) obtained from chicken as the immunization host brings several advantages to antibody production, such as improved yield, lower cost, longer stability, and higher specificity than mammalian immunoglobulin. In the present study, we attempted to purify Maackia fauriei lectin using antilectin IgY-affinity chromatography in order to produce a good yield and to reduce the purification time. (omitted)
