Popis: A simple procedure is described for the purification of calpromotin, a protein from the cytoplasm of red blood cells which is capable of activating calcium-dependent potassium transport. The purification steps involve a salt gradient elution from an anion exchange column (Whatman DE-52) followed by a potassium phosphate gradient elution from a column of hydroxyapatite (HA Ultrogel). These steps result in a 54% yield with a 161 fold purification. The calpromotin is estimated to be 99% pure as determined by densitometry of the protein profile on an SDS polyacrylamide gel. A competitive enzymelinked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) using rabbit anti-human calpromotin antibodies, is described for measuring levels of calpromotin in the 5 to 100 ng range.
