title: Isolation and characterization of a sulfated glycoprotein from rabbit uterus.
abstract: Crude glycoproteins were extracted with 0.15 M NaCl from the pooled endometrial scrapings of rabbit uteri after treatment with estrogen. The crude glycoproteins were fractionated with ammonium sulfate, followed by DEAE-cellulose column chromatography, treatment with CM-Sephadex C-25 and gel filtration on Sephadex G-200. Subsequently, purification of an acidic glycoprotein was carried out by gel filtration on Sephadex G-200 and then Sepharose 4B. The results of electrophoresis and enzymatic digestion, together with analytical data and the infrared spectrum indicated that the acidic glycoprotein was a sulfated glycoprotein.
