摘要:
A process and apparatus for the continuous separation of electrically charged macromolecular compounds, such as proteins, by forced-flow membrane electrophoresis is provided. Said process is conducted in an electrophoretic cell comprising a membrane compartment, divided by a micro- or ultrafiltration membrane (1) into a feed (2) and permeate cell (3), and electrode compartments (6, 7) being partitioned from the membrane compartment with ion-exchange membranes (8, 9), which are impermeable to the macromolecular compounds, and have virtually no permeability to salts. The electrophoretic process comprises the steps of recycling a mixed solution of the charged compounds which are dissolved in a separation buffer through the feed cell, subjecting of the solution to a pressure-driven membrane separation, applying an electric field across the membranes and the solution to cause electrophoretic migration of the charged compound and to separate them, and withdrawing the charged compounds thus separated. The process achieves separation of charged compounds having differences of their isoelectric points in a range of as low as 0.1 to 0.2. The process is very useful to remove charged contaminants from the desired compounds.

A strip gel and a slab gel are combined in a single gel enclosure or on a single gel backing for two-dimensional electrophoresis. The enclosure is comprised of a single pair of support plates, and a removable electrically insulating region is included to separate the gels. The region is occupied either by air or an electrically nonconductive material which can be removed without disturbing either gel. In use, a sample is loaded onto one end of the strip gel and an electric potential is imposed across the strip gel for the first dimension separation while the strip gel is electrically insulated from the slab gel. The insulating region is then removed and the two gels placed in electrical contact for the second dimension separation.

An electrophoresis device comprises a gel membrane disposed within a space formed by a pair of sheets and a pair of spacers. A shark's teeth comb is disposed at an end of the gel membrane such that a plurality of triangular sample-pouring apertures are formed by its saw-like protrusions and the end of the gel membrane. The thickness of the shark's teeth comb d and the thickness of the gel membrane G satisfy the following relation: G×1.1 in which unit is µm.

Procédé et dispositif d'électrophorèse multiple pour la migration contrôlée de macromolécules dans des plaques de gel empilées dans une direction perpendiculaire à leur plan, au moyen d'une série d'électrodes (20) disposées selon les intersections de deux séries de plans perpendiculaires, les uns perpendiculaires aux plaques (12) et à la direction souhaitée de migration des macromolécules, les autres perpendiculaires aux premiers et parallèles aux plaques (12) , les électrodes étant reliées entre elles de façon sélective et commandées pour assurer, d'une part, la séparation des macromolécules dans les plaques (12), puis, d'autre part, leur transfert sur des membranes (22) associées aux plaques (12). L'invention s'applique notamment à la séparation et au transfert par électrophorèse de macromolécules telles que des protéines ou des acides nucléiques.

L'appareil d'électrophorèse de l'invention comprend un élément semi-perméable (6) permettant de mettre à profit le phénomène d'électroendosmose qui se cree pendant l'électrophorèse, et des moyens de sortie (15) pour évacuer vers l'exterieur les produits qui émergent d'un gel d'électrophorèse, à l'aide d'un tampon (9) traversant l'élément semi-perméable dans le sens apposé à celui de la migration des produits.
摘要:
Highly purified, biologically active Human Antihemophilic Factor (AHF) preparations are prepared having specific activities of about 4000 - 8000 units per milligram of AHF. In the method of preparation an AHF concentrate, prepared by fractionation of plasma to partially remove fibrinogen, fibronectin and other plasma components is subjected to a separation on the basis of Stokes' radius to separate AHF from the bulk of remaining proteins in the AHF concentrate. The pooled fractions containing AHF activity are concentrated by precipitation with ammonium sulfate, sodium sulfate, etc., by diafiltration, by PEG addition, or the like. The concentrate, is solubilized or equilibrated in an aqueous medium and treated to change the effective Stokes' radius of the AHF to an apparently low value and then subjected to a separation from the concentrate. The AHF pool from above is treated to remove cations by dialysis against an appropriate buffer of lower ionic strength and chromatographed on an anion-exchange medium. The AHF fraction from the above chromatography, is a highly purified AHF preparation.
