The yields of F(ab’)2 or Fab fragments from digestion with pepsin, papain , bromelain and ficin were respectively 20. 3+/-2. 0%, 50. 5+/-5. 0%,74. 4+/-2. 7% and 82. 8 +/-10. 2% of the theoretical maximum. Immunoreactivity in a noncompetitive solid-phase radioimmunoassay (SPRIA) of the fragments generated by the four proteases were respectively 10+/-5%, 36+/-5%, 60+/-6% and 75+/-6%of the intact OC859 IgG.
