A facile method of purification of neocarzinostatin, an antitumor protein

Abstract

A three-step column chromatographic method for the purification of neocarzinostatin (NCS) from a crude preparation was described. The purified material was homogeneous by acrylamide gel electrophoresis, isoelectric focusing, amino terminal analysis, and immunologic criteria. Purified NCS was 40 times as active in the inhibition of growth of Sarcina lutea and twice as active against CCRF-CEM human leukemia cells in vitro as was the starting material. When assayed against P388 and L1210 mouse leukemias in vivo, the purified material showed a median increase in life-span of 119 and 72%, respectively.
