Abstract
A procedure for large scale purification of human lymphoblastoid (Namalva) interferon (IFN) is presented. The procedure includes concentration by ultrafiltration, gel filtration on Sephadex G-75 and affinity chromatography on anti-INF antibody (polyclonal or monoclonal) columns. The IFN specific activity is increased from 1 × 105 units/mg protein, in the crude solution, to 2 × 107 and 2 × 108 units/mg protein, in the purified preparations obtained after polyclonal or monoclonal antibody columns, respectively. The overall recovery of IFN in the procedure described is 50-55%.
