HiTrap IgY Purification HP<br />

5 ml/min<br />

Binding buffer: 20 mM sodium phosphate, 0.5 M K 2 SO 4 , pH 7.5<br />

Elution buffer: 20 mM sodium phosphate, pH 7.5<br />

Wash buffer:<br />

20 mM sodium phosphate, pH 7.5 with 30% isopropanol<br />

As much as possible <strong>of</strong> the egg yolk lipid must be removed before purification. Water or<br />

polyethylene glycol can be used to precipitate the lipids. Precipitation with water is<br />

described below.<br />

Precipitation <strong>of</strong> the egg yolk lipid using water<br />

1. Separate the egg yolk from the egg white.<br />

2. Add nine parts <strong>of</strong> distilled water to one part egg yolk.<br />

3. Mix <strong>and</strong> stir slowly for 6 hours at +4 °C.<br />

4. Centrifuge at 10 000 g, at +4 °C for 25 minutes to precipitate the lipids.<br />

5. Collect the supernatant containing the IgY.<br />

6. Slowly add K 2 SO 4 to the sample, stirring constantly, to reach a concentration <strong>of</strong> 0.5 M.<br />

7. Adjust pH to 7.5.<br />

8. Pass the sample through a 0.45 µm filter immediately before applying it to the column.<br />

Purification<br />

1. Wash the column with at least 5 column volumes <strong>of</strong> binding, elution <strong>and</strong> wash buffer.<br />

2. Equilibrate with 5 column volumes <strong>of</strong> binding buffer.<br />

3. Apply the sample.<br />

4. Wash with at least 10 column volumes <strong>of</strong> binding buffer or until no material appears in the eluent,<br />

as monitored at A 280 .<br />

5. Elute the IgY with 10 column volumes <strong>of</strong> elution buffer.<br />

6. Wash the column with 8 column volumes <strong>of</strong> wash buffer.<br />

7. Immediately re-equilibrate the column with 5 column volumes <strong>of</strong> binding buffer.<br />
