Glycosaminoglycans prepared from extracts of non-luteal mouse ovaries (JCL-ICR strain) were assayed for neovascularization by implanting Elvax films, impregnated with test samples, on the lateral wall of the sheath of m. rectus abdominis in adult mice of the same strain. Neovascularization occurred in a dose-dependent manner. When purified by chromatography on Dowex 1-x2 and DEAE Sephadex colum...

A thiamine-binding protein was purified from the extract of rice bran acetone powder by conventional procedures of acid precipitation, a series of column chromatography on DEAE-Sephadex A-50 and DEAE-cellulose, and gel filtration of Sephadex G-200. The purified thiamine-binding protein was nearly homogeneous as judged by disc gel electrophoresis and the molecular weight was estimated to be 94,0...

Two protein phosphatases (enzymes I and II) were extensively purified from wheat embryo by a procedure involving chromatography on DEAE-cellulose, phenyl-Sepharose CL-4B, DEAE-Sephacel and Ultrogel AcA 44. Preparations of enzyme I (Mr 197,000) are heterogeneous. Preparations of enzyme II (Mr 35,000) contain only one major polypeptide (Mr 17,500), which exactly co-purifies with protein phosphata...

Plaque production by 55 rhinoviruses in several lines of HeLa cells is reported. Forty-nine types produced macroscopic plaques under the conditions described previously employing 30 mM MgCl(2) and 30 mug/ml of DEAE-dextran in overlay and M HeLa cells. Basically three kinds of plaques were observed: clear large and intermediate sized plaques and small turbid plaques. Five rhinoviruses produced p...

NADPH-cytochrome P-450 reductase was highly purified from liver mlcrosomes of phenobarbital-induced rats by column chromatography on DEAE-cellulose, DEAE-Sephadex A-50, and hydroxylapatite in the presence of deoxycholate or Renex 690, a nonionic detergent. The purified enzyme gave a single major band with a molecular weight of 79,000 daltons on SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. FFN and FA...

Escherichia coli tRNA has been fractionated on benzoylated DEAE-cellulose and DEAE-Sephadex to yield five purified tRNASer species. They differ in chromatographic behavior and in their coding properties. These tRNASer species are all charged by pure E. coli seryl-tRNA synthetase. Four of the tRNAs exhibit the same K, and V,,,,, in this reaction. For one of the tRNAs (the least pure) these param...

THE PEPTIC ZYMOGENS OF HUMAN GASTRIC MUCOSA HAVE BEEN STUDIED IN THE PAST BY THREE DIFFERENT TECHNIQUES: phosphate-gradient chromatography on a column of DEAE-cellulose, chloride-gradient chromatography on DEAE-cellulose and agar-gel electrophoresis. These techniques have given different results, each suggesting the presence of a different number of pepsin zymogens in human gastric mucosa. In t...

DEAE-purified rabbit beta crystallins have been studied by sedimentation on sucrose gradients ami their subunits characterized by co-electrophoresis in SDS-polyacrylamide gels. The experiments indicate that the beta crystallins isolated by DEAE-cellulose are a large family of related proteins with sedimentation velocities of about 4S. Deaggregation and denaturation of these proteins to polypept...

A novel protease with a molecular mass of 15 kDa was purified from fresh fruiting bodies of the wild mushroom Amanita farinosa. The purification protocol entailed anion exchange chromatography on DEAE-cellulose, affinity chromatography on Affi-gel blue gel, cation exchange chromatography on SP-Sepharose, and gel filtration by fast protein liquid chromatography on Superdex 75. The protease was u...

A simple rapid immunochemical procedure has been developed which provides information about the qualitative and quantitative nature of antigens. It involves the use of purified radioactive ((125)I-labeled) antibodies. The amount of antibody bound to the antigen is determined by filtering the mixture through diethylaminoethyl (DEAE)-cellulose paper. All of the antigen, as well as the antibody co...
