title: Efficient purification of human plasma beta 2-microglobulin from the haemodialysate of a patient with chronic renal failure by use of high-performance liquid chromatography.
abstract: Human plasma beta 2-microglobulin was isolated in a good yield (more than 80%) from the haemodialysate (blood ultrafiltrate) of a patient with chronic renal failure. The isolation procedure consisted of Sephadex G-100 gel filtration and two steps of high-performance liquid chromatography: reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography and gel permeation chromatography. The purified beta 2-microglobulin was homogeneous by sodium dodecyl sulphate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and two-dimensional electrophoresis.
