Title : Purification of ITIH4 fromCell Media and Human Serum

Abstract :
  1. Recombinant ITIH4 was isolatedfrom the cell media of HEK293 cells overexpressing ITIH4-cMyc-DDKprotein by ultrafiltration followed by RP-1S chromatography
  2. Afterthese steps, ITIH4 exceeded 90% purity based on SDS-PAGE with Coommassieblue staining (data not shown)
  3. Proteomic analysis of a tryptic digestconfirmed the identity of ITIH4 (71% sequence coverage) with minimalprotein impurities
  4. To purify ITIH4 from serum, we devised a three-steppurification process to minimize biased selection of specific glycoformsby the chromatographic steps (Figure 1A)
  5. Ammoniumsulfate precipitation resulted in a 5-fold enrichment of ITIH4 witha yield of 84% (Table 1)
  6. Further enrichmentwas achieved by Cibacron Blue chromatography (3-fold enrichment) followedby reversed-phase chromatography on a monolithic protein purificationcolumn (10-fold enrichment)
  7. The observed mass shift of recombinantand serum ITIH4 on SDS-PAGE after treatment with PNGaseF confirmedthat ITIH4 was heavily N-glycosylated (Figure 1B)
