AMAcetyl-,-he,osanindases A andUwere purifled to homogeneityfromhuman placenta. 1n the imt'al step of purication, thfe enzymes were adsorbed on concanavalin ASepharose 4B and etuted from, the column with a-methyl D-mannoside. Subsequent purification steps includedc DEAE-cellulose column chromn-atography, QAE-Seph%adex Ediethyl-(2-hydroxypropyl)aminoethyl-Sephadex] column chromatography1 Sephade...

A Glycoprotein, particularly high in tumors, has been extracted from Morris 5123C rat hepatomas and purified. The compound constitutes a major binding component for 67Ga in this hepatoma. It has a molecular weight of approximately 45,000. Its molecular weight was determined by sodium dodecyl sulfate:polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and by Sephadex G-200 superfine gel filtration. The steps inv...

A method exploiting hydroxylapatite chromatography was developed to purify pregnant mare serum gonadotropin (PMSG or eCG) to high biological activity from partially purified commerical preparations. In addition, an alternative method utilizing chromatography on quaternary aminoethyl (QAE)-Sephadex and Sephadex G-200 is also presented. Both procedures are capable of producing, from commerical ma...

Tonin has been purified from rat submaxillary glands. The purification procedure included affinity chromatography on Sepharose 4B coupled to antitonin followed by DEAE chromatography and gel filtration on Sephadex G-100. Homogeneity of the purified enzyme was confirmed by Sephadex G-100 gel filtration, disc electrophoresis, and isoelectric focusing on polyacrylamide gel, immunodiffusion, and im...

Erwinia amylovora infected with bacteriophage ERA103 produced an enzyme which degraded the extracellular polysaccharide of noninfected cells. The depolymerase enzyme was purified 15-fold by a procedure which included ammonium sulfate precipitation, ultracentrifugation, CM-Sephadex batchwise separation, Sephadex G-50 column chromatography, and Sephacryl S-200 column chromatography. The enzyme ha...

Bovine lymphosarcoma tissue has been extracted with low- and high-salt buffers [0.05 M Tris-C1 plus or minus 0.3 M (NH4) 2S04]. Diethylaminoethyl-Sephadex chromatography of both the high-salt and low-salt extracts yields RNA polymerases I and II, although low-salt extraction releases only one-third as much activity. Extraction by high salt of the residue from the low-salt extract, followed by d...

&Aminolevulinic acid synthetase extracted from porphyric liver mitochondria by sonication or freeze-drying was found to be excluded from Sephadex G-ZOO, and other studies revealed that activity was associated with a large aggregate. In contrast, aminoacetone synthetase behaved as a soluble enzyme with a molecular weight of 64,000. By treating the aggregate with both sodium chloride and dithioer...

An alkaline xylanase secreted by Paenibacillus macquariensis RC 1819 has been purified using ammonium sulfate fractionation, ion exchange chromatography using DEAE-cellulose and gel filtration chromatography over Sephadex G-200 and Sephadex G-100. The purified enzyme had the specific activity, 25.2 units/mg protein with birchwood xylan as a substrate. The purified enzyme showed a single protein...

Hydrophobic long-chain alkyl ethers of Sephadex have been synthesized and tested for use in liquid chromatography. With columns prepared in such polar solvents as methanol, reversed-phase systems are obtained where compounds separate in order of decreasing polarity. In such non-polar solvents as heptane, straight-phase systems are formed, and separations occur in order of increasing polarity. T...
