&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;New page&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div&gt;== Buffers Required: ==&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;pre&amp;gt;Note: THe volume of buffers prepared is dependent on the starting volume of antibody-containing media.  Adjust volumes accordingly.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/pre&amp;gt; &lt;br /&gt;
===== PBS: =====&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
To 800ml ddH2O add:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*8 g NaCl &lt;br /&gt;
*0.2 g KCl &lt;br /&gt;
*1.44 g Na2HPO4 (sodium phosphate dibasic) &lt;br /&gt;
*0.24 g KH2PO4 (monopotassium phosphate) &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
pH to 7.4, and bring up to 1L with ddH2O. Autoclave to sterilize.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===== Saturated Ammonium Sulphate (SAS): =====&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
To 1000 ml of double-distilled water add:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*766.8 g g Ammonium sulphate&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;http://cshprotocols.cshlp.org/content/2006/1/pdb.tab1&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;http://research.biology.arizona.edu/mosquito/willott/proj/LabPro/Prot/Proppt/Ammon.html&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;http://www.science.smith.edu/departments/Biochem/Biochem_353/Amsulfate.htm&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Dissolve at 50C to 60C. &amp;amp;nbsp;Stand overnight at room temperature, then adjust pH to &amp;amp;nbsp;6.8-7.0 with 5 or 10 M NaOH. Measure the pH using small aliquots.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===== Digestion Buffer: =====&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Per 100 ml of water add:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*355 mg (20mM) sodium phosphate dibasic &lt;br /&gt;
*292 mg (10mM) EDTA &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
pH to 7.0. &amp;amp;nbsp;Immediately before use add 20mM cysteine-HCl&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===== 10mM Tris-HCl =====&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
To 100ml of water add&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*158 mg Tris-HCl &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
pH to 7.5.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== IgG Fractionation ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Based on&amp;amp;nbsp;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1038/npg.els.0003761/full#a0003761-tbl-0002&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
#Dilute antibody 1:2 with PBS on ice. &amp;amp;nbsp;E.G. 10ml of hybridoma media would be diluted with 20ml of PBS. &lt;br /&gt;
#With gentle stirring, on-ice, add SAS drop-wise to reach a final concentration of 45% ammonium hydroxide (see calculator below). &amp;amp;nbsp;'''Warning: stir gently. &amp;amp;nbsp;Avoid foaming, as this indicates protein denaturation.''' &lt;br /&gt;
#Once SAS addition is complete stir for 30min on-ice, then centrifuge at&amp;amp;nbsp;1000g for 15 min at 4°C. &lt;br /&gt;
#Wash the precipitate with 45% SAS, then re-pellet at 1000g for 15 min at 4°C. &lt;br /&gt;
#Redissolve the precipitate in the same volume of PBS as the &amp;lt;u&amp;gt;original antibody solution.&amp;lt;/u&amp;gt; &lt;br /&gt;
#Centrifuge at 5000g for 15 min at 4°C to remove any particulates. &lt;br /&gt;
#Transfer the supernatant to a clean tube and reprecipitate immunoglobulin using 40% SAS &lt;br /&gt;
#Centrifuge at 1000g for 15 min at 4°C. &lt;br /&gt;
#Redissolve the precipitate in a minimum volume of digestion buffer &amp;lt;u&amp;gt;without cysteine&amp;lt;/u&amp;gt; (0.5 mL) and dialyse against 5L of digestion buffer &amp;lt;u&amp;gt;without cysteine&amp;lt;/u&amp;gt; at 4°C overnight. &lt;br /&gt;
#Centrifuge at 5000g for 15 min at 4°C to remove more insoluble material. &lt;br /&gt;
#Spec the protein to determine the concentration. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===== SAS Volume Calculator: =====&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For 1ml of antibody solution add:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Image:SAS_Calc.gif]], where&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
SF = final saturation, Si = initial saturation. &amp;amp;nbsp;Example, for 45% of a 1ml starting volume with no prior SAS addition:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Volume (ml) = 1(0.45-0) / (1-0.45) = 0.82ml&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Fab Preparation ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
#Add 20mM cystein-HCl to the fractionated IgG &amp;amp;amp; digest buffer. &lt;br /&gt;
#Dilute fractionated IgG to a concentration of 10mg/ml in digest buffer. &lt;br /&gt;
#Mix immobilized papain beads (Thermo #20341) to obtain an even suspension. &amp;amp;nbsp;Take 500ul of slurry* for every 1ml of diluted IgG to be processed. &amp;amp;nbsp;Transfer slurry to a clean tube large enough to perform the digest in. &lt;br /&gt;
#Wash gel 2X in 4ml/500ul of slurry with digest buffer. &amp;amp;nbsp;Centrifuge briefly (1-2 min at 250 x g) to pellet papain. &lt;br /&gt;
#Pellet washed papain, and resuspend in 0.5ml of digest buffer per 500ul of starting slurry. &lt;br /&gt;
#Add antibody solution to papain slurry. &lt;br /&gt;
#For non-human IgG, incubate 5 hours to overnight at 37&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;o&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;C with mixing. &amp;amp;nbsp;Four hours is sufficient for human IgG. &lt;br /&gt;
#For every 1ml of diluted antibody add 1.5ml 10mM tris-HCl solution, then centrifuge 1000g for 15 min at 4°C. &lt;br /&gt;
#Carefully draw supernatant off of papain pellet. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*Smaller amounts of papain may be used, but longer digests are required and incomplete digestion may occur as a result. &amp;amp;nbsp;For antibody quantities less than 10mg, use 500ul of slurry. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Fab Purification ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Fab purification should be performed as per the instructions found in&amp;amp;nbsp;[[Fab FPLC|Fab purification using FPLC]].&lt;br /&gt;
