Abstract

A method of extracting granulocyte macrophage colony stimulating factor (GM-CSF) from GM-CSF-expressing bacterial cells comprising treating a suspension of GM-CSF-containing bacterial cells with an acid and an enhancing agent, removing substantially all of the suspension liquid from the cells, preparing a second suspension of the acidified cells, neutralizing said second suspension, and separating the GM-CSF containing liquid from the suspended cells.
