Abstract:

Background: There are varieties of purification techniques for separation of human plasma proteins such as salting out, ion exchange chromatography, and ethanol fractionation. There are limitations for each method, for example in salting out method, the salt has to be removed in an additional step. Ion exchange chromatography is difficult for scaling up, and plasma fractionation is a time consuming method and it needs machinery and plant. In the present study the fractionation of human plasma by polyethylene glycol was investigated. Objectives: The purpose of this study was to investigate the possibility of the fractionation of human plasma by polyethylene glycol. Materials and Methods: Human plasma fractionation was carried out by using polyethylene glycol at different concentrations from five to twenty percent, and it was followed by centrifugation. After each step of addition of polyethylene glycol the supernatant was removed for further fractionation by addition of higher concentration of polyethylene glycol. Results: Suitable intermediate sources for protein purification were obtained by fractionation of human plasma by polyethylene glycol. Fibrinogen in fraction 5% , IgG and IgM in fraction 10%, IgA in fraction 20%, and finally albumin and α1-Antitrypsin in supernatant 20% of polyethylene glycol were achieved. Conclusion: By our study we could obtain four different fractions as intermediate sources for protein purification which cannot be easily obtained from plasma fractionation by cold ethanol fractionation.

Human Plasma Derived Drugs Separation by Fractionation of Plasma with Polyethylene Glycol

Human blood as a unique tissue (1), contains many important proteins with therapeutic uses (2). As a biological drugs, virus inactivation is one of the crucial steps in their preparations of these plasma derived proteins (3-6). The most important proteins in human plasma are: albumin, immunoglobulin, fibrinogen, and coagulation factors VII, VIII and IX (7). There are varieties of purification t...

Enhanced Detection of Low-Abundance Human Plasma Proteins by Integrating Polyethylene Glycol Fractionation and Immunoaffinity Depletion

The enormous depth complexity of the human plasma proteome poses a significant challenge for current mass spectrometry-based proteomic technologies in terms of detecting low-level proteins in plasma, which is essential for successful biomarker discovery efforts. Typically, a single-step analytical approach cannot reduce this intrinsic complexity. Current simplex immunodepletion techniques offer...

Plasma expansion by polyethylene-glycol-modified albumin.

Systemic inflammatory response conditions are associated with capillary leak and haemodynamic compromise. Fluid resuscitation to reverse the ensuing hypovolaemia is, however, complicated by the decreased endothelium reflection coefficient to albumin and other colloids. We developed PEG-Alb (albumin covalently linked to polyethylene glycol) as a potential resuscitative agent. PEG was covalently ...

Immunoglobulin A Preparation from Human Pooled Plasma Using Plasma Fractionation and Ion Exchange Chromatography

Background: In this study we have prepared the IgA solution from normal human plasma using plasma fractionation and ion exchange chromatography. Materials and Methods: Using fractionation of plasma with cold ethanol (starting with 8% ethanol), fraction III was prepared as a suitable source for IgA preparation. Then it was treated with caprylic acid for separation of impurities. For enrichm...
