title: One-step purification of proteins from chicken egg white using counter-current chromatography.
abstract: Proteins present in chicken egg white are separated by counter-current chromatography (CCC) in one step using a cross-axis coil planet centrifuge (X-axis CPC). The separation was performed with an aqueous polymer two-phase system composed of 16% (w/w) poly(ethylene glycol) 1000 and 12.5% (w/w) dibasic potassium phosphate by eluting the lower phase at a flow-rate of 1.0 ml/min. From about 20 g of the crude egg white solution, lysozyme, ovalbumin, and ovotransferrin were resolved within 5.5 h. Each component was identified by 12% SDS gel electrophoresis with Coomassie brilliant blue staining.
