High-performance ion-exchange chromatography of myosin using a DEAE-5PW column.

High-performance ion-exchange chromatography of myosin using a DEAE-5PW packing was used to purify myosin from skeletal, cardiac and smooth muscle. This method produces high-speed resolution (30-min analysis) of myosin from contaminating myofibrillar proteins. The column has a high capacity for binding myosin (up to 1 g) and can be used for small-scale preparation of highly purified myosin. Gel analysis in the presence of sodium dodecyl sulfate showed recovery of myosin with very little contamination of other myofibrillar proteins. Myosin was also recovered from small biopsy samples (0.1 g) by a direct extraction technique with recovery of biological ATPase activity.

Assay of sialidase activity using ion-exchange chromatography and acidic ninhydrin reaction.

A new assay method for sialidase (EC 3.2.1.18) activity using ion-exchange chromatography and acidic ninhydrin reaction has been developed. Fetuin, 4-methylumbelliferyl-N-acetylneuraminic acid (MUB-NANA), gangliosides and N-acetylneuramin-lactose were examined as substrates. Free sialic acid liberated from these substrates by sialidase reaction was isolated with a Dowex 1-X8 column (trifluoroacetate form, 1.5 cm x 0.5 cm I.D.) and determined by acidic ninhydrin reaction. Among the substrates tested, MUB-NANA was the best in the present method, N-Acetylneuramin-lactose could not be used as the substrate, because it was not separated from liberated sialic acid under the conditions used. The recovery of N-acetylneuraminic acid was above 88%, and the sensitivity of the method was 20 nmol in 300 microliters of the reaction mixture. The method was applied to the sialidase assay during its purification from rat skeletal muscle, and a Michaelis constant of 1.15 mM was obtained with MUB-NANA as the substrate. The method using the acidic ninhydrin reaction was simple and exhibited good reproducibility.

Isoelectric point separation of proteins by capillary pH-gradient ion-exchange chromatography.

In the present work, isoelectric point (pl) separation of proteins by pH-gradient ion-exchange chromatography (IEC) on packed capillary columns is demonstrated. The development of a miniaturized flow-through pH probe for reliable pH monitoring of the column effluent, which was an important technical challenge for adapting this technique to capillary dimensions, was solved by designing a low microliter per minute flow rate housing to a commercially available micro pH probe. Highly linear outlet pH-gradients within the pH range 8.5-4.0 were obtained when applying simple inexpensive buffers consisting solely of piperazine, N-methylpiperazine and imidazole on 10 cm x 0.32 mm i.d. fused silica capillaries packed with anion-exchange poly(styrene divinylbenzene)-based macroporous materials, i.e. 10 microm Mono P from Amersham Biosciences and 10 microm PL-SAX from PolymerLabs. Furthermore, when using a pH-gradient from 6.8 to 4.3, both columns were able to baseline separate the A and B genetic variants of beta-lactoglobulin, which differ with two amino acid residues only, but the PL-SAX column provided almost a two-fold decrease in peak widths compared to the Mono P column. The influence of varying the buffer concentration, injection volume and column temperature on the peak widths and resolution of the beta-lactoglobulins was investigated, e.g. a 100 microl sample of dilute beta-lactoglobulins was injected directly on the column with practically no increase in peak width as compared to what obtained with conventional injection volumes. Finally, a pH-gradient from 6.8 to 4.3 was used to separate proteins in skimmed bovine milk on the PL-SAX column. The milk was simply diluted 1:10 (v/v) with water and filtrated before injection.

Purification of human intrinsic factor using high-performance ion-exchange chromatography as the final step.

Human intrinsic factor was purified 1430-fold from gastric juice with a yield of 75% using two steps: labile ligand affinity chromatography and high-performance ion-exchange chromatography. Intrinsic factor precipitated in the presence of specific autoantibodies and 15% sodium sulfate, had an estimated Mr of 59 000 in 5% SDS electrophoresis and could bind to the specific ileal receptor in vitro. Its carbohydrate composition could be related to N-lactosaminic and O-glycosidic chains. High-performance ion-exchange chromatography was a mild, rapid and efficient procedure to separate completely intrinsic factor from haptocorrin (another glycoprotein of gastric juice which binds cobalamin) and from other contaminating proteins.

Indomethacin release from ion-exchange microspheres: impregnation with alginate reduces release rate.

Ion-exchange microspheres (MS) designed as a drug delivery system for embolization coupling ability to occlude vessels and chemotherapy were used to evaluate a manufacturing process allowing to control the drug release rate through reduction of diffusion rate of the drug within the particle by impregnation of calcium alginate inside the porous MS. Impregnation was performed by diffusion of sodium alginate inside DEAE-Trisacryl(R) MS, dispersion of the MS in deionised water and gelling alginate by adding CaCl(2) to the dispersed MS. Studied parameters were alginate concentration, alginate diffusion time and calcium concentration. Indomethacin was loaded into the MS by eluting an aqueous indomethacin solution through a chromatographic column packed with impregnated MS. Indomethacin loading was reduced by alginate. Swelling studies showed indomethacin loading enhanced the hydrophobicity of MS while impregnation had no effect. This had an incidence on indomethacin release rate, which was assessed using the rapid elution of PBS through loaded impregnated MS packed in a column. Indomethacin loading reduced its own rate of release. MS impregnated with 2% w/v alginate gelled with a 40 mM calcium solution presented the lower release rate. This work indicated the manufacturing conditions to display a calcium alginate matrix effect on indomethacin release from DEAE-Trisacryl MS.

Immunosuppression by human seminal plasma fractionated by DEAE Sephadex A-50 ion exchange chromatography.

We fractionated the whole human seminal plasma on DEAE Sephadex A-50 ion exchange columns. Complete separation was achieved in seven peaks using different salt concentrations in phosphate buffer pH 6. The seminal plasma proteins were separated by sodium dodecyl-sulphate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. Human seminal plasma (SP) and its fractions were used in mixed lymphocyte reaction in vitro. Fractions 3, 4, and 7 were found to suppress the proliferation of human peripheral blood mononuclear cells to phytohemagglutinin and pokweed mitogen at a concentration of 10 micrograms ml-1 while stimulatory effect was observed at lower concentrations (1 microgram and 2.5 micrograms ml-1). Whole human SP and other fractions failed to suppress the proliferation of lymphocytes in vitro. Furthermore, the effect of human SP and its fractions was also investigated on phagocytic function of polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMNs) using luminol dependent chemiluminescence assay stimulated with phorbol myristate acetate and opsonized yeast. Fractionated SP was found to have a suppressive effect on the luminol-dependent chemiluminescence of PMNs in the whole blood.

Oxidation-labile subfraction of human plasma low density lipoprotein isolated by ion-exchange chromatography.

We isolated subfractions of human plasma low density lipoprotein (LDL) using ion-exchange chromatography. Plasma LDL from normolipidemic subjects were applied to a DEAE Sepharose 6B column. After elution of the bulk of LDL at 150 mM NaCl (the major fraction), the residual LDL was eluted at 500 mM NaCl and designated as the minor fraction. The minor fraction, only less than 1% of total LDL, tended to be somewhat similar in certain properties to oxidized LDL, e.g., an increased negative charge, higher protein/cholesterol ratio, and a higher flotation density than native LDL. These results were consistent with data reported by Avogaro et al. (1988. Arteriosclerosis. 8: 79-87). However, assays of 125I-labeled LDL binding activity for LDL receptors equal to that of the major fraction. Incorporation of [14C]oleate into cholesteryl ester [acyl-CoA:cholesterol acyltransferase (ACAT) activity] in mouse peritoneal macrophages incubated with the minor fraction was only slightly greater than that with the major fraction. Incubation of the minor fraction with 0.5 microM Cu2+ caused a remarkable stimulation of ACAT activity, while stimulation by the major fraction required incubation with 5 microM Cu2+, suggesting that the minor fraction was relatively labile to oxidation. The minor but definite presence of a plasma LDL subfraction more negative and susceptible to oxidation implicates the possibility of its association with atherogenesis.

Ion-exchange chromatography of ionic detergent-solubilized proteins: application to purification of rat parotid gland phosphoproteins including ribosomal protein S6.

A method is described for separation of ionic detergent-solubilized proteins by ion-exchange chromatography. This method has been developed for purification of two phosphoproteins (Mr 19,000 and 30,000) from 32Pi-prelabeled, isoproterenol-stimulated rat parotid tissue and is based on the observation that, in the presence of urea and Nonidet-P40, ionic detergent-solubilized proteins can be adsorbed by ion exchangers according to their own charge. After adsorption, proteins were eluted with a stepwise gradient of NaCl in a urea-containing buffer. By the procedure described, the 30 kDa phosphoprotein was freed from other 32P-labeled substances; and it was identified as ribosomal protein S6 that was phosphorylated at some serine residues. The method is generally applicable and especially suited for preliminary purification of hydrophobic proteins subjected to analysis by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis.

The heterogeneity of bovine IgG2--III. The ion-exchange heterogeneity of IgG2a is the result of VH-region variation.

Bovine IgG2a from an animal homozygous at the A-locus could be fractionated on DEAE columns into subpopulations; studies using analytical size columns showed that the number of subpopulations was dependent on the ionic strength of equilibration buffer. Subpopulations of IgG2a could be purified by this method which did not differ in their carbohydrate content but had mean Ips consistent with their elution behavior. The spectrotype of their H-chains but not their L-chains, paralleled the spectrotype of the corresponding intact IgG2a subpopulations. When papain digests of each subpopulation were fractionated by chromatofocusing, their Fc fragments eluted homogeneously with a pI ca 6.0 while their Fabs eluted heterogeneously with pIs ranging from 8 to 5. The distribution of carbohydrate among such fractions corresponded to the distribution of the Fcs. The behavior of the IgG2a Fabs on chromatofocusing paralleled the elution behavior of the parent IgG2a subpopulations from DEAE-Sephadex and the isoelectric behavior of their H-chains. The antibody activity of Fab fragments, separated by chromatofocusing, are consistent with the concept of idiotypic variation. The differential antibody activity of each intact IgG2a subpopulation for seven different antigens suggests that the ion-exchange behavior of IgG2a, in which the influence of allotypes and sub-isotypes has been excluded and for which charge-related L-chain heterogeneity is minimal, must reside in the VH-regions of the different IgG2a subpopulations. Investigators are cautioned against assigning ruminant subclass designations on the basis of subpopulations isolated by ion-exchange chromatography.

Fabrication and comprehensive modeling of ion-exchanged Bragg optical add-drop multiplexers.

Optical add-drop multiplexers (OADMs) based on asymmetric Y branches and tilted gratings offer excellent-performance in wavelength-division multiplexed systems. To simplify waveguide fabrication, ion-exchange techniques appear to be an important option in photosensitive glasses. Optimum OADM performance depends on how accurately the waveguide fabrication process and tilted Bragg grating operation are understood and modeled. Results from fabrication and comprehensive modeling are compared for ion-exchange processes that use different angles of the tilted grating. The transmission and reflection spectra for the fabricated and simulated OADMs show excellent agreement. The OADM's performance is evaluated in terms of the measured characteristics of the Y branches and tilted gratings.
