Partial Purification of Urinary Erythropoietin.

Abstract
The urinary erythropoietic stimulating factor has been partially purified by adsorption on kaolin followed by serial elution with ammonium acetate buffers of increasing pH and then with 1[image] NH4OH. Using this procedure, a 39% yield with a 230 fold purification of the active factor has been obtained. The purified preparation of the active factor produces metachromasia with toluidine blue, has an absorption peak at 280 m[mu] and migrates very slowly on paper strips in an electrophoretic apparatus. The similarity and differences between urinary and plasma erythropoietin are discussed.
