Anti human igm agarose

Manufactured by Merck Group
Sourced in Germany

Anti-human IgM-Agarose is a solid-phase adsorbent material used in laboratory procedures. It is composed of agarose beads coupled with antibodies specific to human immunoglobulin M (IgM). This product can be used for the detection, isolation, or purification of human IgM from biological samples.

THAb was detected by radioimmunoprecipitation technique described in previous researches,21 using anti‐human IgM‐Agarose (Sigma‐Aldrich) or protein G (Merck KGAA, Darmstadt, Germany). In brief, 500 μl of serum was incubated with 0.5 μCi 125I‐T3 or 125I‐T4 (Beijing Fury Runze Biotechnology Co., Ltd) for 60 min at 23 C. Twenty microliters of this mixture was then incubated with 150 μl anti‐human IgM‐Agarose or protein G, both prediluted 1:10 with saline containing bovine serum albumin (BSA) (Sigma) at a final concentration of 0.5%. After 24‐h incubation at 4℃, tubes were centrifuged at 2,000× g for 1 min and the supernatant was aspirated. Finally, the radioactivity of immunoprecipitation was detected. The percentage of THAb was equal to total radioactivity divided by immunoprecipitation radioactivity.

Depleting IgG and IgM from Human Serum

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
To study the effects of the FH18-20/Fc proteins without confounding by natural anti-gonococcal antibodies present in NHS, we depleted IgG and IgM from freshly collected human serum, as described previously (33 (link)). Briefly, EDTA (final concentration 10 mM) and NaCl (final concentration 1 M) were added to freshly prepared human serum and treated sera was passed first over anti-human IgM agarose (Sigma), followed by passage through protein G-Sepharose; both columns were equilibrated in PBS containing 10 mM EDTA and 1 M NaCl. NaCl was added to minimize loss of C1q during passage of serum through the anti-human IgM column. The flow-through was collected, spin concentrated and dialyzed against PBS/0.1 mM EDTA to its original volume using a 10-kDa cutoff Amicon Ultra-15 centrifugal filter device (Millipore, Bedford, MA), sterilized by passage through a 0.22-μm filter (Millipore), aliquoted and stored at −70 °C. Hemolytic activity was confirmed using a total complement hemolytic plate assay (The Binding Site Inc., Birmingham, U.K). Depletion of IgG and IgM was confirmed by dot-blot assays using alkaline phosphatase conjugated goat anti-human IgG and goat anti-human IgM, respectively. In some experiments, complement activity of serum was destroyed by heating serum at 56°C for 1 h.

Glycan Microarray Analysis of IgM-Depleted Sera

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Anti-human IgM agarose (Sigma A9935) was used for IgM depletion and Sepharose 4B (Sigma, 4B200) was used as control resin. Both resins were equilibrated on column cartridges, washed with 5× PBS buffer and then mixed with equal column volume of PBS buffer. For IgM depletion assays, 110 uL Anti-human IgM agarose solution was mixed with 110 uL cord or maternal serum samples (4× dilution, in PBS buffer containing 3% BSA, 1% HSA and 0.05% Tween 20, pH 7.4). In the control assays, 110 uL Sepharose 4B was mixed with 110 uL diluted sera. These solutions were incubated at room temperature for 1.5 h with gentle agitation (150 rpm). The resins were centrifuged at 10,000×g for 5 min, and the serum supernatant (∼130 μL/sample) was collected for antibody profiling the glycan microarray. Both cord and maternal sera were treated using the same method.
Each sample was evaluated on a glycan microarray in duplicate as described above with the following differences: the volume of serum samples was 60 μL/well, the slides were scanned with a GenePix 4000B fluorescent scanner (Molecular Devices), and fluorescent intensity for each array component was quantified using GenePix Pro 7.0 software (Molecular Devices). Since these samples were evaluated at a dilution of 1:8, any signals lower than 900 RFU were adjusted to 900 (floor).

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
