Isolation of geroprotective peptides from thymusamin (nucleoprotein complex from thymus)
Keywords:
nucleoprotein complex, cross-flow microfiltration, track etched membrane, solid phase extraction, regulatory peptides.Abstract
Cross-flow microfiltration and selective adsorption of low molecular weight peptides on cation
exchanger Dowex 50-X8 were used for the preparative fractionation of nucleoprotein complex from
thymus. Peptide fraction were studied by gel chromatography, UV-spectroscopy, thin layer
chromatography and evaluation of biological activity by leukocyte migration inhibition factor. It is shown
that the peptide fraction from nucleoprotein complex includes components with molecular weights of 0.1
kDa to 3 kDa
