Abstract
A novel method is disclosed for the purification of monoclonal antibodies from antibodies of the same isotype but different light chain composition which are frequently present in the fluids in which such antibodies are generated. According to the method, the mixture is placed in a hydroxylapatite chromatography column and eluted with a buffer solution in a concentration gradient elution. With the appropriate optimization of system parameters, a separation of antibodies effective for both analytical and preparative purposes is obtained.
