Abstract

Complement is a key component of functional immunological assays used to evaluate vaccine-mediated immunity to a range of bacterial and viral pathogens. However, standardization of these assays is complicated due to the availability of a human complement source that lacks existing antibodies acquired either through vaccination or natural circulation of the pathogen of interest. We have developed a method for depleting both IgG and IgM in 200 mL batches from pooled hirudin-derived human plasma by sequential affinity chromatography using a Protein G Sepharose column followed by POROS™ CaptureSelect™ IgM Affinity resin. The production of large IgG- and IgM-depleted batches of human plasma that retains total hemolytic and alternative pathway activities allows for improved assay standardization and comparison of immune responses in large clinical trials.
