Out of many component proteins in crude saline extract of Spirometra mansoni plerocercoid (sparganum) , 36 kDa and 29 kDa proteins were found to be the most antigenic and were already purified by immunoaffinity chromatography using monoclonal antibody as a ligand. In this study, a single step purification of these potent antigenic proteins of sparganum extract was investigated. When the crude saline extract was charged to gelatin-Sepharose 4B affinity column, 36 kDa and 29 kDa protein fractions were bound. SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (PAGE) and SDS-PAGE/immunoblot confirmed that the bound protein to gelatin was serologically pure. When evaluated by ELISA with patients sera, the purified protein of 36 and 29 kDa also showed improved antigenicity.

Immunoglobulin Y (IgY) obtained from chicken as the immunization host brings several advantages to antibody production, such as improved yield, lower cost, longer stability, and higher specificity than mammalian immunoglobulin. In the present study, we attempted to purify Maackia fauriei lectin using antilectin IgY-affinity chromatography in order to produce a good yield and to reduce the purification time. (omitted)

Serratia marcescens purine nucleoside phosphorylase (PNP) was purfied to homogeneity by streptomycin sulfate treatment, Sephacry HR S-200 gel filtration chromatography and AMP-agarose affinity chromatography. The specific activity of the enzyme was increased 49-fold during purification with an overall yield of 7.0%. The molecular weight was 168kD as estimated by Sephadex G-150 gel filtration chromatography. The S. marcescens enzyme was composed of six identical subunits with subunit molecular weight of 28kD, as estimated by SDS-PAGE. The Km values of S. marcescens enzyme for inosine and deoxyinsoine were 0.38 and 1.20 mM, respectively. The ph optimum was near 8.0, and the enzyme was relatively heat-stable protein. The enzyme was inactivated com-pletely by 0.5 mM of $Cu^{ 2+}$.

Helicobacter pylori is the etiologic agent of human gastritis and peptic ulceration and produces urease as the major protein component on its surface. H. pylori urease is known to serve as a major virulence factor and a potent immunogen. Recombinant H. pylori urease expressed in E. coli was purified by simple purification procedures utilizing (CNBr-activated Sepharose-anti-urease IgG immunoaffinity chromatography or epoxy- activated Sepharose-urea affinity chromatography. Urease was apparently bound so tightly to the anti-urease IgG resin that it could not be eluted at various elution conditions except at certain extreme pH 1, including 100 mM carbonate (pH 10.5) buffer solution, which was shown to elute slightly inactivated but relatively pure enzyme. Urease eluted from the epoxy-activated Sepharose-urea affinity column showed higher activity, but the smaller UreA subunit of the enzyme appeared as a Fainter band of diminished intensity when subjected to SDS-polyamide gel electrophoresis.

For selective purification of protein in Pleurotus cornucopiae (Per.) Rolland, affinity chromatography was performed by benzoyl-AH-Sepharose 4B gel synthesized using AH-Sepharose 4B with starting materials. Ligand capacity of benzoyl group was 9.3 micromole per milliliter of gel. Total apparent molecular weight of affinity protein was 255KD, which were protein complex of 29.5, 31.5 34.0, 71.0 and 89.0KD, respectively. The contents of nonpolar, polar, positively charged, and negatively charged amino acid were 45.68%, 26.93%, 11.81% and 15.58%, respectively. The nonpolar protein was selectively purified by hydrophobic ligand of benzoyl group of gel.

The cyclodextrin glucanotransferase (CGTase) was purified from the culture broth of Bacillus stearothermophilus by ammonium sulfate precipitation and affinity chromatography. The specific activity of the CGTase increased by about 31-fold from 111.5 U/mg protein to 3445.0 Ulmg protein. The SDSPAGE indicated that the purified CGTase was homogeneous and the molecular weight of the purified CGTase was about 78,000. The optimum pH and temperature was 6.0 and $60^{\circ}C$, respectively. This enzyme was stable from pH 5.5-10.0. The enzyme retained its full activity at the incubation temperature up to $60^{\circ}C$ and calcium ion increased the thermal stability. The isoelectric point was about 4.8.

Immobilized metal ion affinity chromatography (IMAC) was used to separate various types of recombinant hirudins from the culture broth. The wild type hirudin exhibited a retention in Cu(II)-chelated affinity chromatgoraphy since it contained a single exposed histidine at position 51. To obtain a stronger retention on an IDA-Cu(II) column, the hirudin variants were genetically engineered to contain one or two histidine (s) more than the wild type. While the affinity of the variants for IDA-Cu(II) ligand increased in comparison to that of the wild type, the antithrombin activities reduced to a certain degree. Cu(II), Ni(II) and Zn(II) ions were applied separately to the metal chelate column to investigate ligand specificity with respect to protein retention. As a result, the Cu(II) chelated chromatography gave the best resolution for all the hirudins tested and appeared to be the only IMAC that could be used generally for the purification of hirudins with a decreasing pH gradient.

Cellulose binding domains (CBDs) of cellulases are thought to assist in the hydrolysis of insoluble crystalline cellulose. To gain sufficient amount of CBDs, the self-cleavable intein tag was used for expression and purification of Trichoderma reesei cellobiohydrolase I CBD in E. coli. Synthetic CBD genes, CBD or linker-CBD were cloned into expression vector pTYB11. Recombinant CBDs were successfully purified by intein mediated purification with an affinity chitin-binding domain. The final yields of recombinant CBD and linker-CBD were 3.2 mg/L and 1.4 mg/L, respectively. The functional bindings of recombinant CBDs were confirmed by Avicel binding experiments. The simple and easy purification method using self-cleavable intein tag can be further used in pretreatment of crystalline cellulose or characterization of engineered CBDs.
