Abstract

The present invention relates to a process for separating and purifying proteases and antiproteases. This process is characterized in that there are placed in contact an insoluble cross-linked polymer including in its chain the group --SO.sub.3 R.sub.1 -- and/or the group --SO.sub.2 R.sub.2 -- in which R.sub.1 denotes a hydrogen atom or metal and R.sub.2 denotes the remainder of an amino acid linked to the --SO.sub.2 -- bridge through its amine --NH--, function, with the solution containing proteases and antiproteases or their complex; separating the polymer which has absorbed the desired protein, washing it carefully with the buffer, desorbing the absorbed protein by a solution of a polycationic compound in the case of T or by an albumin solution in the case of AT or of the complex T-AT, and isolating the protein, if desired, by known means, such as, especially, freeze drying. The invention is useful for studying the mechanism of blood coagulation.
