We have previously reported that the urine of febrile humans contained large quantities of an inhibitor of IL-1-induced murine thymocyte proliferation that was a glycoprotein between 30 and 40 kD in size. In the present study this factor has been purified to homogeneity using a sequence of eight purification steps (ammonium sulfate precipitation, ion exchange chromatography, molecular sieve chromatography, hydrophobic affinity chromatography, hydroxylapatite chromatography, fast protein liquid chromatography, and two HPLC steps). SDS-PAGE analysis indicates that the purified material is a 38-kD molecule. Evidence based on a partial amino acid sequence analysis as well as enzyme studies indicates that this inhibitor is a type of human DNase I.
我们之前曾报道,发热患者的尿液中含有大量抑制白细胞介素-1诱导的小鼠胸腺细胞增殖的物质,该物质是一种大小在30至40kD之间的糖蛋白。在本研究中,通过一系列八个纯化步骤(硫酸铵沉淀、离子交换色谱、分子筛色谱、疏水亲和色谱、羟基磷灰石色谱、快速蛋白质液相色谱以及两个高效液相色谱步骤)将该因子纯化至同质。十二烷基硫酸钠-聚丙烯酰胺凝胶电泳分析表明,纯化后的物质是一个38-kD的分子。基于部分氨基酸序列分析以及酶学研究的证据表明,这种抑制剂是一种人脱氧核糖核酸酶I。
