title: Immunoaffinity chromatography of human beta-hexosaminidase A.
abstract: A highly specific method for the purification of human beta-hexosaminidase A employing immunoaffinity chromatography is described. Using an antiserum against the unique antigenic determinant, alpha, of beta-hexosaminidase A, and elution with 8.0M urea, a 283-or 417-fold purification of the enzyme was obtained in a single step from crude human placental homogenate.
