Abstract
The Ia antigens from strain 2 and strain 13 guinea pig lymphocytes were solubilized with the non-ionic detergent Nonidet P-40* (NP-40) and purified by two simple affinity chromatography steps. The first step consisted of lentil lectin chromatography from which a glycoprotein-enriched fraction was obtained. The final step consisted of chromatography using la-specific immunoabsorbents, from which the antigens were eluted with acid glycine buffer. Antigen yields were determined by inhibition of cytotoxicity, and mean yields were 21% for the strain 13 Ia antigens and 19% for the strain 2 Ia antigens. Electrophoretic analysis demonstrated the high degree of purification attained. Immunoabsorbent chromatography offers a rapid and effective method for the isolation of Ia antigens.
