Separation of active alpha 1-acid glycoprotein and utilization in the lipoprotein lipase enzyme system

This invention relates to a method of separating the active alpha 1-acid glycoprotein fraction, a co-factor in the lipoprotein lipase reaction, from urine of nephrotic animals and humans as follows: (a) concentrate the said urine to about 10-20% by volume; (b) precipitate undesired protein at pH 4 w...

Zusammenfassung:This invention relates to a method of separating the active alpha 1-acid glycoprotein fraction, a co-factor in the lipoprotein lipase reaction, from urine of nephrotic animals and humans as follows: (a) concentrate the said urine to about 10-20% by volume; (b) precipitate undesired protein at pH 4 with ammonium sulfate; and (c) recover the alpha 1-acid glycoprotein fraction from the supernatant, neutralize with solid NaHCO3, and purify by dialysis versus H2O and lyophilize. This active alpha 1-acid glycoprotein fraction is utilized in effective amounts in nephrotic animals to reverse the defect in triglyceride removal caused by the loss of plasma constituents in urine.
