Disclosed is a method for purifying Human interleukin-5 (IL-5) a single chromatographic step. After removing cells from a cell culture expressing human interleukin-5, IL-5 is purified by first adjusting the culture supernatant to the calculated pI value of mature IL5 (pI = 7.44) and then passing the conditioned supernatant through tandem linked anion- and cation-exchange columns. The resulting passthrough fraction contains the IL-5 and is devoid of all other contaminating proteins. An optional hydrophobic-interaction chromatography step is disclosed for positive selection of IL-5 and in order to concentrate the preparation. Pure IL-5 was recovered with a high overall yield (>90%), was N-glycosylated and was entirely homodimeric.
