title: Isolation of serum amyloid A protein by small-scale hydrophobic interaction chromatography and two-dimensional electrophoresis.
abstract: A recently introduced technique to isolate serum amyloid A protein is hydrophobic interaction chromatography combined with two-dimensional electrophoresis with immobilized pH gradients. A modification of the original version of this technique is presented. Mouse serum was subjected to hydrophobic interaction chromatography on a small scale, and the eluate was applied directly to two-dimensional electrophoresis. Simple electropherogramss with optimal resolution of serum amyloid A protein were obtained. The presented technique facilitates isolation of serum amyloid A protein from small blood volumes, and might also be adapted to alternative applications.
