✦ Synopsis
Thyroxine-binding globulin was isolated from pooled human serum by a twostep method involving affinity chromatography on thyroxine-Sepharose and preparative disc-electrophoresis. The final product was found to be homogeneous by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and has a molecular weight of 59 000. Isoelectric focusing resolved the protein into seven bands with isoelectric points ranging from 3.9 to 4.3.
The isolated protein showed affinity to a number of different dyes as recognized by affinity phase partitioning. The interaction of the protein with the dye Cibacron Blue F3G-A was found to be strongly competitive with the natural ligand thyroxine.

The principle that the antigen and the antibody prefer different phases in an aqueous two-phase system is the analytical basis of the work presented here. The antigen horseradish peroxidase, which is bound to a monoclonal antibody (mAb), is separated from free Ag in an aqueous phase system (polyethy
