Figure 1: A. Illustration of Ab(IgG) purification using conjugated micellar aggregates. Target IgG + BSA are captured by micellar aggregates comprised of a non-ionic detergent, amphiphilic chelator (e.g. bathophenanthroline, (batho)) and Fe2+ ions. Pure IgG is obtained by extracting IgG’s bound to the micellar aggregates under conditions that do not co-extract BSA or dissociate the detergent aggregates. B. Chemical structure of the non-ionic detergents. The sum of the values represented by the letters: W, X, Y, Z in the Tween-family is ~ 20. The number of carbons comprising the hydrophobic anchor of: Tween-20, 40, 60 and 80, are indicated, respectively.
