“…Protein A from S. Aureus (Forsgren & Sjoquist, 1966) and the streptococcal bacterial protein G may interact with the Fc region of IgG (Uhlen et al, 1984), and perhaps albumin, itself (Akerstrom, Nielsen, & Bjorck, 1987), to prevent bacterial recognition by the immune system (Kronvall et al, 1979). Antibodies against albumin, or Protein G or A supports, have been used to deplete blood fluid of these abundant proteins (Gupalova et al, 2002;Shen et al, 2005;Jmeian & El Rassi, 2007;Stempfer et al, 2008). Immunodepletion columns that use multiple antibodies IgG, or IgY bound to chromatographic media have been reported to show lower background binding than dye binding resins (Pieper et al, 2003b;Echan et al, 2005;Huang & Fang, 2008;Zolotarjova et al, 2008).…”
