Abstract: | A simple and convenient method for the purification of the hemolytic toxin listeriolysin O (LLO) from Listeria monocytogenes is described. Supernatants from bacteria cultures were purified by application to a CH2 spiral cartridge concentrator (Amicon) and ion exchange chromatography. A critical step is removal of contaminating RNA. The purified proteins had characteristics described for bacterial thiol-activated hemolysins: activation by a reducing agent (DTT) and inactivation by cholesterol. In addition, the molecular weight of 58, 000 and pH-dependent hemolytic activity of this purified protein are consistent with the previously published characteristics of LLO. |
