title: Circulating forms of human foetal somatomedin.
abstract: Two forms of somatomedin, which crossreact in a radioreceptor-assay using foetal brain membranes as matrix, have been partially purified from the serum of human foetuses aged 16-28 weeks of gestation. The purification scheme consisted of acid precipitation, Sephadex G-50 chromatography, affinity chromatography and cation exchange fast protein liquid chromatography. The two peaks of activity had apparent molecular weights of approximately 7000 and different isoelectric points. The elution positions of these peaks corresponded to the elution positions of the truncated IGF-1 variant and intact IGF-2, respectively.
