title: High-performance liquid chromatographic separation of human apolactoferrin and monoferric and diferric lactoferrins.
abstract: A simple chromatographic separation of the different molecular forms of human milk lactoferrin according to their iron contents is described. The appropriate conditions were developed with a Mono-S cation-exchange column linked to an automated Urtrochrom GTi system. The pure lactoferrin with different iron binding (apolactoferrin, monoferric lactoferrin and diferric lactoferrin) separated into three peaks. The three peaks were eluted from the Mono-S column with 0.88, 0.97 and 1.05 M sodium chloride in 10 mM phosphate buffer (pH 7.0).
