Antibody fragments, especially Fabs, are getting increased attention as potential biopharmaceuticals because they have some advantages over monoclonal antibodies (Mabs). KappaSelect is an affinity chromatography medium designed for the purification of Fab (kappa) antibody fragments. The ligand binds to the constant region of the kappa light chain enabling an efficient capture step for antibody fragments such as Fabs with high purity and yield. Please see the link below for more details.
