(b) Fractionation of ECV (2.0 mg dry weight) on a Shodex KW- 803 gel filtration column coupled to Dionex Ultimate 3000 UHPLC system (Thermo Fisher Scientific, USA). The flow rate was maintained at 10 ml/h at room temperature (~23 °C) and fractions of 0.25 ml were collected. (c) SDS-PAGE analysis of crude ECV. Lane 1, 2 and 3 represents crude ECV (non-reduced), protein molecular markers and crude ECV (reduced) respectively.
