The IBs were solubilized and the rpGH refolded in a single step using a cationic surfactant, N-cetyl pyridinium chloride (CPC; C21H38ClN) in the absence of reducing agents. No additional dialysis or rapid dilution steps of the solubilizing agent were required to obtain a 30% yield of refolded and oxidized rpGH monomer at protein concentrations of up to 15-20 mg/mL. In contrast, the refolding in vitro of rpGH in the absence of CPC resulted in the formation of significant amounts of higher molecular weight aggregate at the expense of the biologically active monomer. The fluorescence spectrum of the purified refolded rpGH was indistinguishable from that of biologically active, pituitary derived porcine GH and reverse-phase HPLC analysis of the purified rpGH showed similar retention times to that of pituitary GH. It is likely that the use of cetylpyridinium chloride is generally applicable to the simplified high yield recovery of biologically active recombinant proteins from IBs.</p>","PeriodicalId":77022,"journal":{"name":"Australian journal of biotechnology","volume":"5 2","pages":"78-80, 86"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1991-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"12539249","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This paper presents a discussion on the solvent precipitation of xanthan and the results of research performed to investigate the behaviour of xanthan solutions during membrane processing using a microporous membrane. Using crossflow microfiltration, flux rates of up to 120 L/m2h were achieved for pure xanthan solutions, with complete rejection of the polysaccharide by the membrane. The thin film model underpredicted flux for xanthan solutions. In fact, flux was independent of xanthan concentration up to 20-25 g/L, and strongly dependent on crossflow velocity. Considerable benefits in terms of purification and reduced solvent requirements can be obtained by the use of an intermediate crossflow microfiltration step during xanthan recovery.</p>","PeriodicalId":77022,"journal":{"name":"Australian journal of biotechnology","volume":"5 2","pages":"73-7"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1991-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"12539248","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
