Abstract: | The principle of the immobilized metal affinity chromatography (IMAC) is based on the differences in the affinity of proteins for metal ions bound in a 1:1 complex of iminodiacetic acid (IDA) immobilized on a chromatographic support. A single step purification was carried out for luteinizing hormone (LH) on Cu2+, Zn2+, Ni2+, and Co2+ IDA Sepharose affinity columns. Highly purified LH was obtained with a Cu2+ IDA Sepharose column. SDS-PAGE and Western blot analysis were done to confirm the purity of the hormone. Biological activity has been evaluated by radio-immunoassay. This method was found economically viable and suitable for the recovery of biologically active hormone. |
