PURIFIED PLATELET-DERIVED GROWTH FACTOR AND METHODS FOR PURIFICATION THEREOF

摘要

Monoclonal antibodies specific for epitopes found on the B chain of PDGF (including v-sis, c-sis and platelet-derived forms) may be bound to columns and used for purification of rPDGF B. A solution containing a polypeptide possessing at least part of the structural conformation of rPDGF B is passed over such a column and the rPDGF B is bound to the antibody. The rPDGF B may then be eluted from the column to yield rPDGF B of greater than 95% purity as determined by SDS-PAGE.
