Chromatography of 67Cu-labeled rat plasma extracts during purification of transcuprein by Sephadex G150 (A), Sephacryl S300 (B), and copper chelate affinity chromatography (C), showing absorbance at 280 nm (solid line), and 67Cu radioactivity (black diamonds) or actual Cu concentrations determined by atomic absorption spectrometry (X---X, or black dots in C). (C) Elution of proteins bound to the copper chelate affinity gel, upon application of 20 ml of a 10–40 mM imidazole gradient (up-angled line), followed by an additional 20 ml of 40 mM imidazole.
