    This study introduces buffer electrofocusing for Interleukin I purification. The method avoids issues with removing synthetic ampholytes, ensuring good recovery of biological activity.

    Area of Science:

    • Biochemistry
    • Protein Purification
    • Analytical Chemistry

    Background:

    • Interleukin I is a crucial cytokine with therapeutic potential.
    • Conventional electrofocusing methods for protein purification can be complicated by ampholyte removal.
    • A need exists for efficient and streamlined purification techniques for biologically active molecules.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To develop and evaluate a novel buffer electrofocusing technique for Interleukin I purification.
    • To assess the recovery of biological activity of purified Interleukin I.
