Method for detecting and removing endotoxins, useful for treating e.g. recombinantly produced pharmaceuticals or nucleic acid, by incubation with phage tail protein

摘要

Method for detecting endotoxins (I) comprises incubating a sample with a bacteriophage tail protein (II), then detecting any (I) bound to (II). An independent claim is also included for a method of removing (I) from a sample by incubation or contact with (II) that is immobilized, non-specifically or in a targeted manner, on a solid carrier.
