Example 39
A 1400 ml volume of filtered supernatant was precipitated with ammonium sulfate (80% saturation), re-dissolved in 50 ml of 20 mM Bis-Tris pH 6.0, dialyzed against the same buffer, and filtered through a 0.45 μm filter. The final volume was 80 ml. The solution was applied to a 50 ml Q SEPHAROSE® Fast Flow column (GE Healthcare, Buckinghamshire, UK) equilibrated with 20 mM Bis-Tris pH 6.0. Proteins were eluted with a linear 0-0.25 M NaCl gradient. Fractions were analyzed by SDS-PAGE using a Mini-PROTEAN TGX Stain-Free 4-15% Precast Gel (Bio-Rad Laboratories, CA, United States). Fractions containing a band at approximately 39 kDa were pooled. Then the pooled solution was concentrated by ultrafiltration.
