Abstract

Lecithin:cholesterol acyltransferase was isolated from a human plasma fraction in a homogeneous state by an efficient and highly reproducible procedure. The purification scheme involved: (1) hydrophobic affinity chromatography, (2) DEAE-agarose chromatography, (3) delipidation, (4) a second DEAE-agarose chromatography, and (5) a combination of hydroxylapatite and antibody adsorption chromatography. The final product was purified 20,000-fold over the starting material and was found to be free of any polypeptide contaminant as indicated by gel electrophoresis, sedimentation equilibrium ultracentrifugation, immunodiffusion, and immunoelectrophoresis.
