Abstract

There are disclosed (i) a purification process for obtaining a human BCDF having the intramolecular disulfide linkage and the stereostructure of natural type human BCDF which comprises subjecting to an oxidation reaction and a refolding treatment a reduced type human BCDF obtained by culturing a microorganism having a human BCDF gene integrated therein and solubilized with guanidine hydrochloride, characterized in that after the oxidation reaction, a gel filtration chromatographic treatment is conducted under the conditions of the guanidine hydrochloride concentration adjusted to 4-7M; (ii) a purification process for obtaining a natural type human BCDF monomer by removing the organic solvent from an organic solvent-containing solution of human BCDF, characterized in that the solution is passed through a gel filtration chromatographic column equilibrated with an organic solvent, followed by eluting according to a stepwise or linear gradient program; and (iii) a human BCDF purification process comprising an ion exchange chromatographic treatment and a reversed phase HPLC step, in combination (i) or (ii). According to these purification processes, it becomes possible to remove the imp…
