Process for the purification of homogeneous platelet-derived endothelial cell growth factor from a platelet lysate.

摘要

A process for the purification of homogeneous plate-derived endothelial cell growth factor (PD-ECGF) from a platelet lysate comprises subjecting the lysate to cation exchange chromatography on CM-Sephadex, pooling and subjecting the resulting active fractions to anion exchange chromatography on QAE-Sephadex, pooling and subjecting the resulting active fractions to ammonium sulfate precipitation, pooling and subjecting the resulting active fractions to anion exchange chromatography on DEAE-Sepharose, pooling and subjecting the resulting active fractions to high-performance hydroxylapatite column chromatography, pooling and subjecting the resulting active fractions to high performance hydrophobic column chromatography on an alkyl-Superose resin, and recovering said homogeneous platelet-derived endothelial cell growth factor. The process, which can be carried out in five steps, allows for purification of PD-ECGF that results in about 1,250,000-fold purification at a yield of about 14%.
