A comman way to do this is to couple the antigen to activated beads on a column, run the serum over it and than after some washing elute the antibody that was bound to the antigen. However this protocol describes a kind of 'affinity substraction'. Instead of the antigen a protein extract of an antigen deletion strain is coupled to the beads. The advantages are that one does not need purified antigen and that one can simply use the flow through instead of having to elute and dialyze. The disadvantage off course is that one needs a deletion strain which might be difficult if the respective protein is essential.

==Abstract==
Replace this sentence with a brief description of the protocol and its goal.

==Materials==
List everything necessary to perform the protocol here. Include all information about suppliers, ordering details, etc. Links to the suppliers' page on that material are also appropriate and encouraged. Please be aware that users of this protocol may not be working in the same country as you.
===Reagents===
Biological resources e.g. cell lines, buffers (link to a method for making them), enzymes, chemicals, kits, etc.
===Equipment===
Any equipment used to perform the protocol (link to a method for using them).

==Procedure==
===Coupling to activated beads===
The first step is to couple the antiben to activated beads. In the following procedure CNBr-activated beads from Sigma are used and the procedure is taken from there Product information ([http://www.sigmaaldrich.com/catalog/search/ProductDetail/SIGMA/C9142 sigma-aldrich])
#Dissolve protein to be coupled in 0.1 M NaHCO3 buffer containing 0.5 M NaCl, pH 8.3-8.5 (about
5-10 mg protein per mL of gel). Note: Other buffers can be used, but avoid amine-containing
buffers such as Trizma or other nucleophiles (buffers with amino groups) which will react with the
binding sites.
2. Wash and swell cyanogen-bromide activated resin in cold 1 mM HCl for at least 30 minutes. A
total of 200 ml per gram of dry gel is added in several aliquots. Remove the supernatant (contains
lactose) by gentle suction in a Büchner or suction funnel between successive additions. Note:
Lactose is necessary to stabilize the beads during freeze-drying, but it will interfere with binding if
present during coupling. The use of HCl preserves the activity of the reactive groups which
hydrolyze at high pH.
3. Wash the resin with distilled water, 5 - 10 column volumes, then wash the resin with the
NaHCO3/NaCl coupling buffer (5 ml per gram dry gel) and immediately transfer to a solution of the
ligand in coupling buffer. Note: The reactive groups hydrolyze in basic solution!
4. Mix protein with gel for 2 hours at room temperature or overnight at 4°C. Use a paddle stirrer or
end-over-end mixer, but not a magnetic stir bar (which may grind beads).
5. Wash away unreacted ligand using NaHCO3/NaCl coupling buffer described above.
6. Block unreacted groups with either 1 M ethanolamine or 0.2 M glycine, pH 8.0 for 2 hours at room
temperature or 16 hours at 4°C.
7. Wash extensively to remove the blocking solution, first with basic coupling buffer at pH ≈ 8.5, then
with acetate buffer (0.1 M, pH 4) containing NaCl (0.5 M).
8. Complete this wash cycle of high and low pH buffer solutions four or five times.
9. If the resin is to be used immediately, equilibrate it in buffer. If not, store the resin in 1.0 M NaCl at
2-8°C with a suitable bacteriostat.
