Antiserum made from plasma immunized horses with specific antigen, pooled plasma is processed to purify horse immunoglobulin G (IgG), fraction may be subjected enzymatic treatment to obtain F (ab) fragments. Three batches of snake hyper immunized plasma purified by routine and ultra filter method and the final product of both methods analytically compared together and quality of each product statistically evaluated. Our results showed that the total protein, pyrogeny level and time of purification in the final product of the new method significantly decreased ( P/./ ).
