Western immunoblot assay with a commercial preparation of intravenous immunoglobulin (Gammagard) assayed against cell sonicates of nontypeable H. influenzae isolates strain 12 (lanes 1 to 4) and strain 15 (lanes 5 to 8). Antibody preparations assayed in each are as follows: lane 1, IVIG; lane 2, IVIG adsorbed on strain 12 HMW protein affinity column; lane 3, affinity-purified anti-strain 12 HMW protein antibodies; lane 4, monoclonal antibody 4B2, an antibody that recognizes both the HMW1 and HMW2 proteins; lane 5, IVIG; lane 6, IVIG adsorbed on strain 15 HMW protein affinity column; lane 7, affinity-purified anti-strain 15 HMW protein antibodies; lane 8, monoclonal antibody 1D5.
