A METHOD OF BINDING BACTERIAL LIPOPOLYSACCHARIDES TO A SOLID PHASE

摘要

The subject the present invention is a method of producing affinity beds with bacterial lipopolysaccharide molecules bound to them in a non-covalent and stable fashion. The bed produced according to the present invention may be used in affinity chromatography for the purification of antibodies against lipopolysaccharides. It is particularly useful in the purification of antibodies against the labile epitopes of lipopolysaccharides, which degrade in heretofore used methods of covalent bonding of the lipopolysaccharide molecules to the solid phase.
