The Use of Immunoadsorbent Columns for the Isolation of Antibodies Specific for Antigens Associated with Human Bronchogenic Carcinoma

R D Watson, A G Smith, J G Levy
PMCID: PMC2009101  PMID: 4208459

Abstract

An immunoadsorbent technique is described whereby tumour-specific antibodies may be isolated. Extracts from normal human lung tissue were pooled and bound to cyanogen bromide activated Sepharose 4B. Antisera raised in rabbits to a variety of extracts from human bronchogenic carcinoma were passed through these immunoadsorbent columns to yield antisera specific for tumour-associated antigens as demonstrated by immunodiffusion and immunoelectrophoresis.
