Özet

In the present work, a new method of purification for antithrombin was developed using an expanded bed chromatography technique. Milk fat was removed by centrifugation and caseins were precipitated selectively by addition of zinc chloride. Crude skim milk was then directly fed to an expanded bed column containing the ion-exchange matrix. The use of a cation-exchanger (P-11) resulted in 100% adsorption and 13% recovery whereas the use of an anion-exchanger (DE-52) resulted in 100% adsorption and 84% recovery and up to five-fold purification of antithrombin. The buffer, 25 mM Tris-HCl pH 8.0; the eluting agent, 2 M (NH4)2SO4; and 100% expansion of settled bed were determined to be the optimum conditions for the purification of antithrombin by ion-exchange expanded bed chromatography. A comparison of column diameters revealed that the elution yields increase by two-fold while the column diameter increases from 1 to 2.5 cm. However, antithrombin III was concentrated to a higher degree by using the column with an internal diameter of 1 cm. © 2002 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
