What he said :-)

Additionally, since you are going to elute with the antigen, non-covalent
"coupling" is also an option. Protein A and Protein G agaroses are sold 
by nearly every company. In this case you first bind your antibodies, 
wash rigorously (up to 0.5 M salt, detergents - OK) and load your 
sample. Affinity for IgG is high enough not to worry about leaking of 
significant amounts of IgG together with your protein. (You can always
crosslink  them to Protein A/G though). Since Ab are from rabbit, there is
no real advantage of G over A while G is more expensive.
