Abstract

It has been discovered that lysozyme in the blood is concentrated into the albumin fraction when the blood is fractionated by the alcohol fractionation method at lowered temperature or the ammonium sulfate fractionation method. Lysozyme can be produced by contacting the albumin fraction with a weakly acidic cation-exchanger such as CM-cellulose to adsorb selectively the lysozyme with the cation-exchanger and then eluting the lysozyme adsorbed from the cation-exchanger.
