Abstract
A process for partially purifying an osteogenic factor from demineralized bone particles in which nonfibrous proteins are extracted from the demineralized bone with a dissociative extractant for nonfibrous proteins, such as urea or guanidine hydrochloride, the extracted nonfibrous proteins are fractionated by anion exchange chromatography using DEAE cellulose at pH 7, the fraction not adsorbed by the DEAE cellulose is further fractionated by cation exchange chromatography using CM cellulose at pH 4.8, the fraction adsorbed by the CM cellulose is eluted therefrom and the partially purified osteogenic factor is recovered from the eluate as a .ltoreq.30,000 dalton protein isolate.
Claims10
A process for partially purifying an osteogenic factor from particulate demineralized bone comprising:
- (a) extracting nonfibrous proteins from the demineralized bone with a liquid dissociative nonfibrous protein extractant;
- (b) contacting the extract of (a) with an anion exchanger at a pH of about 6.8 to about 7.2.
- (c) contacting the unadsorbed fraction of the extract with a cation exchanger at a pH of about 4.5 to about 5.2;
- (d) eluting the adsorbed fraction from the cation exchanger;
- and
- (e) isolating nonfibrous protein having a molecular weight below about 30,000 daltons from the eluate of (d).
