METHODS OF PURIFYING CHONDROITINASE AND STABLE FORMULATIONS THEREOF.

摘要

An aspect of the present invention relates to stable formulations of chondroitinase and to methods of purifying chondroitinase. The methods of purifying chondroitinase includes the steps of extracting the enzyme from a cell, separating the chondroitinase from the crude cell extract using cation-exchange chromatography, removing impurities through gel filtration chromatography, and removing endotoxin through an anion-exchange membrane to produce a purified chondroitinase.
