Juvenile hormone binding protein was identified in the hemolymph of fifth instar larvae and purified using column chromatography. Hemolymph was mixed with [3H] JH-III and electrophoresed on 691 NON-SDS gel, indicating that radioactivity peak appears at Rf value of 0.55. Gel filtration showed two radioactivity peaks equivalent to bound and free [3H]JH-III, respectively. JHBP was purified from hemolymph through gel filtration (Sephadex G-100), anion exchange chromatosraphv (DEAE Sepharose CL-6B), chromatofocusing chromatographv (PBE 94) and preparative electrophoresis.
