Separation of serum proteins on a Fe3+-monohydroxamate adsorbent

The Fe3+-monohydroxamate adsorbent was tested by chromatography of increasing volumes of serum proteins. The specifically bound proteins were displaced in a stepwise manner by increasing the sodium chloride concentration. The resolved chromatographic fractions were further analysed by gel electrophoresis. A comparison between the properties of Fe3+-monohydroxamate and commercially available adsorbents is presented.
