Three serologically distinct antigens were identified in homogenates of Saint Louis encephalitis (SLE) virus-infected cells after Brij-58 solubilization and diethylaminoethyl (DEAE)-cellulose chromatography. These antigens were designated as antigen I, II, and III. Immunodiffusion analyses showed that all antigen peaks which eluted from the DEAE-cellulose column contained the intracellular majo...

A simple chromatographic procedure using DEAE-Sephadex has been established to isolate the troponin I-troponin C complex from unbound troponin I (TnI) and troponin C (TnC). A 1:1 complex can be formed between bovine cardiac carboxamidomethylated troponin I and rabbit skeletal troponin C. The formation of the complex is calcium dependent. It is stable to DEAE-chromatography in 6 M urea, 3 mM Ca2...

ATP-dependent profiles of phosphofructokinase (PFK) activity were determined in both crude and Sephadex G-25-filtered fractions from rabbit dental pulp. ATP had a dual effect on PFK as an activator and an inhibitor, according to its concentration. Gel-filtered PFK showed a similar profile to that of crude PFK, indicating a lack of low-molecular-weight effector(s) for PFK in rabbit dental pulp. ...

C-phycocyanin is a natural blue dye extracted from Spirulina platensis, which has many applications in the food and pharmaceutical industries. In this paper the effect of pH and temperature on the adsorption of C-phycocyanin onto two different ion exchange resins (Streamline DEAE and Streamline Q XL) for expanded bed adsorption chromatography was investigated. Moreover, the kinetics and adsorpt...

75Se-Labeled tRNAs were synthesized by Clostridium sticklandii cultures supplemented with 1 microM sodium [75Se]selenite or [75Se]selenocysteine. This process is highly specific for selenium; it occurred in the presence of 1.2 mM sodium sulfide and was not decreased by the further addition of a 500-fold molar excess of cysteine. The 75Se in these tRNAs was located in the polynucleotide portion ...

Partially purified thrombopoiesis-stimulating activity was prepared from the plasma of thrombocytopenic rabbits using ammonium sulfate precipitation and DEAE cellulose, Sephadex, and carboxymethyl cellulose chromatography. The protein fraction precipitated by an ammonium sulfate saturation of 60%-80%, previously shown to contain thrombopoiesis-stimulating activity, was used as starting material...

We describe here a simple, rapid chromatographic procedure for quantitatively separating serum creatine kinase isoenzymes (EC 2.7.3.2), with diethylaminoethyl (DEAE)-Sepharose CL-6B as the anion-exchanger. We established the column bed height and the elution parameters by use of a simplex procedure. DEAE-Sepharose CL-6B equilibrated in tris(hydroxymethyl)aminomethane (50 mmol/L, pH 7.5, and con...
