<p>A method of extracting granulocyte/macrophage colony stimulating factor (GM-CSF) from GM-CSF-expressing bacterial cells comprising treating a suspension of GM-CSF-containing bacterial cells with an acid and an enhancing agent, or with an acid that is itself an enhancing agent, removing substantially all of the suspension liquid from the cells, preparing a second suspension of the acidified cells, neutralizing said second suspension, and separating the GM-CSF-containing liquid from the suspended cells.</p> |
