Purification of Erythropoietin

E Goldwasser 1,2, C K-H Kung 1,2
PMCID: PMC389022  PMID: 5279510

Abstract

Erythropoietin, the hormone that is the primary regulator of erythrocyte production, has been purified from anemic-sheep plasma, with a purification factor of more than 1 million. Gel electrophoresis shows that the major contaminant is desialated erythropoietin.
