Purification of human plasminogen and plasmin by gel filtration on Sephadex and chromatography on diethylaminoethyl-Sephadex.

چکیده
Highly purified human plasminogen has been prepared from a variety of plasma fractions and by different purification methods. The two major fractions used have been serum or plasma euglobulin and Cohn plasma Fraction III. The purification methods (1-14) have all yielded products of high purity. Plasminogen useful for further purification and isolation studies can be prepared by the Kline method (3). High purity plasmin can be prepared from Kline method plasminogen by activation with streptokinase (15). The purpose of this study was to develop new methods for the preparation of pure plasminogen and plasmin. The Kline method was first modified to give a more reproducible procedure, with better yields. Plasminogen was precipitated, in the final step, at pH 6.0, with NaH2P04. The use of plasma Fraction IIT2,3 instead of Fraction III as the starting material resulted in higher yields of proenzyme and gave preparations with higher specific activities. Gel filtration through Sephadex columns and chromatography on diethylaminoethyl-Sephadex columns resulted in preparations of highly purified proenzyme and enzyme. Ultracentrifugal and electrophoretic analysis, gel diffusion (Ouchterlony), and immunoelectrophoretic studies were carried out to characterize and to determine homogeneity of the proenzyme and enzyme.

Preparation of Plasminogen by Affinity Chromatography
Background: Plasminogen is one of the compounds derived from human plasma. Activation of plasminogen produces plasmin. Plasmin is able to lyse fibrinogen, fibrin, and some other human plasma proteins. The aim of the present work was to study the separation of human plasminogen by affinity chromatography using gel lysine Sepharose. Materials and Methods: Normal human plasma was used as the...
متن کاملPurification of a Streptococcal Bacteriocin ( Viridin B ) and Its Separation from Aipha - Hemolysin LYNN
Viridin B, a bacteriocin produced by Streptococcus mitis, copurified with the alpha-hemolysin after ammonium sulfate precipitation and gel filtration on Sephadex G-200. The bacteriocin and hemolysin were separated in some instances by ion-exchange chromatography on diethylaminoethyl-Sephadex A-50, but the two substances were shown to be distinct after polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. Attempt...
متن کاملIsolation and partial characterization of a 67Ga-binding glycoprotein from Morris 5123C rat hepatoma.
A Glycoprotein, particularly high in tumors, has been extracted from Morris 5123C rat hepatomas and purified. The compound constitutes a major binding component for 67Ga in this hepatoma. It has a molecular weight of approximately 45,000. Its molecular weight was determined by sodium dodecyl sulfate:polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and by Sephadex G-200 superfine gel filtration. The steps inv...
متن کاملPartial purification of plasma thromboplastin antecedent (factor XI) and its activation by trypsin.
A persistent puzzle in our understanding of hemostasis has been the absence of hemorrhagic symptoms in the majority of patients with Hageman trait, the hereditary deficiency of Hageman factor (factor XII). One proposed hypothesis is that alternative mechanisms exist in blood through which plasma thromboplastin antecedent (PTA, factor XI) can become active in the absence of Hageman factor. In or...

Prostate-specific antigen (PSA) was purified to homogeneity from human seminal plasma by ion-exchange chromatography on a CM-Sephadex C-50 and by gel filtration on a Sephacryl S-200 column. A single 33-kDa protein band appeared in SDS-PAGE. High pressure liquid chromatography (HPLC) of the purified protein produced a single peak, while isoelectric focusing demonstrated the presence of five diff...
