Jenny R, Church W, Odegaard B, Litwiller R, Mann K: Purification of six human vitamin K-dependent proteins in a single chromatographic step using immunoaffinity columns. Prep Biochem. 1986;16(3):227-45.
The major human vitamin K-dependent proteins were purified from plasma using immunoadsorbents made with antibodies specific for each protein. Monoclonal antibodies to Factor VII, Factor IX, Factor X, Protein C, and Protein S were prepared from mice immunized with isolated vitamin K-dependent antigens. Purified monoclonal antibodies and a purified burro polyclonal anti-prothrombin immunoglobulin were individually coupled to Sepharose and used in a tandem series of columns to purify each of the vitamin K-dependent proteins from eluates of barium citrate precipitates of plasma. The proteins were eluted from the columns by sodium thiocyanate and retained functional activity following dialysis. Prothrombin, Factor VII, Factor IX, Factor X and Protein C were essentially homogeneous as judged by NaDodSO4-PAGE; Protein S was isolated as a Protein S-C4b binding protein complex. These results indicate the utility of monoclonal antibody immunoadsorbents for purifying the human vitamin K-dependent proteins and represent a considerable simplification over other purification schemes. |
