During the purification of mouse and human interferons, multiple active components have been detected. Mouse interferon was purified over 500-fold by differential precipitation, centrifugation, gel chromatography, and isoelectric focusing. On electrofocusing, two molecular forms (A and B) were noted. Form B (isoelectric point 7.35) had a molecular weight of about 38,000 and Form A (isoelectric ...

The present study was designed to characterize the human tumor nucleolar antigens found first in the HeLa cells and subsequently in a broad range of human cancers. For visualization of the antigens, HeLa cell nucleolar or nuclear protein fractions were analyzed on 4% polyacrylamide isoelectric focusing gels. The gels were incubated with rabbit antisera to HeLa cell nucleoli and then with fluore...

Pluronic/bile salt/phospholipid mixed micelles (Pluronic/BS/PS-MM) drug carrier system for solubilization hydrophobic drugs was developed. A typical hydrophobic compound, pyrene, was selected as a representative hydrophobic compound to model the hydrophobic drugs. Five Pluronics, F68, F88, F98, F108, and F127 with different PPO chain length were studied. CMC data and solubilization capacities w...

Lactoferrin (Lf) can solubilizemore than a 70-fold molar equivalent of iron in the presence of bicarbonate anions. Iron solubilized by Lf (FeLf) is a useful food product for iron fortification, preventing anaemia with no risk of toxicity. However, the mechanism underlying this iron solubilization is not yet well understood. The objective of this study was to investigate the effects of thermal t...

Conventional determination of apolipoprotein E isomorphs comprises ultracentrifugation of 1-5 ml serum, delipidation of very low density lipoproteins (VLDL), and isoelectric focusing (IEF) in polyacrylamide gels. In order to reduce the sample volume and to avoid nonspecific protein bands, immunoblotting was proposed. Now we describe a methodological variant that uses 25 microliters serum, repla...

A new macromolecular antibiotic C-1027 was obtained from the broth filtrate of Streptomyces globisporus C-1027 by precipitation with ammonium sulfate, DEAE-cellulose column chromatography and gel filtration chromatography on a Sephadex G-75 column. This antibiotic, prepared as a white powder, is an acidic polypeptide having an isoelectric point of pH 3.5-3.7 and a molecular weight of 15,000 as ...

To feed Earth’s growing population, microalgae have been proposed as a source of protein and long-chain n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (LC n-3 PUFAs). Currently, microalgae are mainly sold either as whole biomass, or the economically valuable LC n-3 PUFA fraction is extracted with organic solvents. As an alternative to solvent extraction, pH-driven protein solubilization in water followed by i...

A method has been devised for purifying the estrogen-binding protein ("uptake receptor") of uterine cytosol which circumvents the marked tendency of this receptor to aggregate during attempted isolation. Ammonium sulfate precipitation of the estradiol-receptor complex of calf uterine cytosol in the presence of calcium ions yields both an 8S complex and its 4S subunit which are stable during fur...

The requirements of liquid chromatography (LC) separation systems to separate proteins are often different from those of small molecules as the inherent properties of proteins can result in loss by adsorption, precipitation at zero charge or broad and asymmetric peaks in liquid chromatography. This article looks at the specific separation problems of proteins; the advantages and disadvantages o...
