Abstract:An immunoaffinity chromatographic procedure with monoclonal antibodies (MA) has been developed for purification of the uncultivable, bacterium-like organism associated with greening disease of citrus. The greening organism (GO) was partially purified from leaf midribs of infected periwinkle plants by differential centrifugation. The GO present in such preparations was retained on an affinity matrix consisting of CNBr-activated Sepharose 4B on which GO-specific MA had been covalently linked. The unbound plant material was washed from the matrix, and the GOs were eluted with 0.1M glycine (pH 11.5). Purified GOs were compared with organisms observed in the initial plant preparation by both immunofluorescence and electron microscopic techniques. The morphology and serological characteristics of the GO were retained following purification procedures.
