Abstract

A process for isolating and purifying a precipitated heterologous protein from a host cell culture, including treating the host cell culture with a buffered solution of ionic strength suitable to solubilize most of the host protein but in which refractile heterologous protein is substantially insoluble, and disrupting the cells to form a supernatant and an insoluble fraction; treating the insoluble fraction with a strongly denaturing solution to solubilize the refractile heterologous protein; and recovering renatured heterologous protein.
