Title: Purification of mouse haptoglobin by antibody affinity chromatography and development of an ELISA to measure serum haptoglobin levels. Author: Marsden CH, Simmonds RG. Journal: J Immunol Methods; 1988 Apr 06; 108(1-2):53-9. PubMed ID: 3351312. Abstract: Mouse haptoglobin was isolated from acute-phase serum initially by affinity chromatography on haemoglobin-Sepharose. This proved inefficient, but sufficient material was obtained for use as an immunogen. Rabbit anti-haptoglobin antibodies were used as immunoabsorbents to isolate larger quantities of haptoglobin. Subsequently, specific anti-haptoglobin antibodies were prepared by affinity chromatography on haptoglobin-Sepharose. A direct sandwich ELISA for mouse serum haptoglobin was developed, using affinity purified reagents. The working range of the haptoglobin standard curve was 0.02-0.5 microgram/ml. The reagents did not cross-react with albumin or haemoglobin and the antibody also recognised rat haptoglobin.[Abstract] [Full Text] [Related] [New Search]
