title: [Purification and enzyme study of kininogens I and II from human plasma].
abstract: Kininogens I (HMW) and II (LMW) were isolated and partially purified from human plasma. The disappearance of kininogen I was prevented by the use of hexadimethrine bromide, which inhibits the activation of plasma prekallikrein. The two kininogens were separated by chromatography on DEAE-cellulose. Further purification of kininogen I and II was achieved by separate chromatographic steps of the partially purified kininogens on SP-Sephadex. The purification of the kininogens was controlled by incubation of the respective samples with different kininogenases: human plasma kallikrein, human salivary kallikrein and trypsin. As determined by gel filtration, a molecular weight of 250 000 daltons was found for kininogen I (HMW) and 48 000 daltons for kininogen II (LMW).
