Preparative Electrophoresis of Isotopically Labeled L-Cell Interferons 1

PMCID: PMC377345  PMID: 4327610

Abstract

The preparative method of polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis was adapted for purification and characterization of isotopically labeled L-cell interferons. Re-covery of interferon activity was quantitative, and purification and resolution were comparable to those obtained by analytical polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. Ultimate specific activities attainable ranged from 2 × 106 to 3 × 106 international units per mg of protein.
