Immunodepletion is the process of removing specific components from a sample in order to study or concentrate particular molecules of interest. There are various synonyms for immunodepletion, including immunosubtraction, immunoaffinity depletion, antibody-mediated depletion and immune purification. Each of these terms refers to the process of separating or eliminating certain components from a sample using antibodies that specifically bind to those components, allowing other molecules to be isolated and analysed. Immunodepletion is commonly used in proteomics and biomedical research to isolate proteins or peptides and remove interfering substances, such as abundant proteins, from a sample. By using synonyms for immunodepletion, researchers can communicate more effectively with each other and ensure clarity in their scientific writing.
