Abstract excerpt
Twenty hFSH isoforms were isolated from human pituitary extracts, 15 of which were highly pure. The mild purification procedure, which used a FSH RRA to monitor FSH activity, involved an initial fractionation of pituitary extracts by gel filtration and isoelectric focusing. Six pI regions (mean pI values, 3.63, 3.88, 4.07, 4.23, 4.84, and 5.13) of human (h) FSH were obtained and further fractionated on ion...
