Protein Expr Purif. 1996 Mar;7(2):143-6. Unique Identifier : AIDSLINE
A one step rapid and simple purification procedure for trichosanthin, a
type 1 ribosome inactivating protein, from root tubers of Trichosanthes
kirilowii has been developed using cation-exchange perfusion
chromatography. The identity of the protein has been confirmed by its
size, immunoreactivity, and sequence information. Yields of 0.16% of
electrophoretically pure trichosanthin from dried root tuber have been
achieved with a single 10-min chromatographic step giving the ability to
purify gram quantities of trichosanthin in 1 day.
