Abstract
Disclosed are methods of isolating a protein which binds carcinoembryonic antigen. These methods include the following steps. A biological sample containing carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) and a CEA-binding protein (CBP) is provided and contacted with a divalent cation at a concentration and for a time sufficient to allow the binding of the CBP to CEA, thereby forming a CBP-CEA conjugate. The sample is then contacted with an adsorbent that binds CEA for a time sufficient to allow adsorbance to the adsorbent. Portions of the sample not adsorbed are removed. The CBP is then disassociated from the conjugate and is collected.
