Abstract

Substantially homogenous T-cell growth factor is isolated. A multiple-step purification procedure of T-cell growth factor-containing biological sample includes at least one reverse-phase HPLC fractionation using a C3 to C5 silica gel stationary phase. A preferred pre-purification protocol includes concentration of the biological sample on a semipermeable medium followed by gel filtration and semi-preparative reverse-phase HPLC on a hydrophobic stationary phase. Fractionating the pre-purified biological sample with two or three reverse-phase HPLC fractionations using C3 to C5 silica gel stationary phase yields T-cells growth factor of over 90% purity.
