Membrane chromatographic method for the rapid purification of vitellogenin from fish plasma.
A membrane chromatographic method was developed for the rapid purification of vitellogenin (Vtg) from the plasma of 17beta-estradiol induced loach (Misgurnus angaillicaud atus) and carp (Cyprinus carpio). The time required for the proposed procedure is less then 10 min at a flow-rate of 5 ml/min of the mobile phase, and 0.5 ml of fish plasma could be separated in one cycle. Multistep gradient elution was more suitable for the separation than linear gradient elution. Under optimized conditions, a single Vtg peak can be obtained and its identity was confirmed by SDS-PAGE and gel-permeation chromatography assessment. This method is rapid and easy to operate compared to conventional HPLC and FPLC columns for Vtg separation.
