Abstract
The present invention is directed to a process for the production of substantially pure human recombinant decorin which involves the combination of three separate stages characterized by contacting decorin-containing cell culture medium with (1) a first strong anionic exchange resin; then with (2) a hydrophobic interactive chromatographic resin; and finally with (3) a second strong anionic exchange resin. By using a combination of steps, and certain reagents, in particular a 2.4 to 3 molar GuHCl solution to elute decorin from a hydrophobic interactive column, the process of this invention provides a more convenient and reproducible process for purifying human recombinant decorin. The invention also provides a process for detecting the presence of guanidinium ions in a sample solution. The detection process involves contacting a sample solution suspected of containing guanidinium ions with a cation exchange resin and eluting the guanidinium ions present in tire sample solution with an aqueous buffer solution having a pH of about 1.5 to about 2. This is followed by contacting the eluant with a cation suppressor columns and simultaneously flowing a suppressor regenerate solution in th…
