Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0000439A1] The invention consists in a method of purifying an insulin-containing aqueous ethanolic raw extract from pancreas glands. The extract - which has been subjected to strong cooling and separation of the fat crystals formed thereby and which has possibly been further prepurified - is, with an ethanol concentration of 60-80 per cent by volume, subjected to gel filtration, use being made as the gel of Sephadex TM LH-60. The Sephadex beads are swollen in ethanol or in aqueous ethanol, preferably with a concentration of at least 60 per cent by volume. As eluant ethanol or aqueous ethanol, preferably with a concentration of at least 60 per cent by volume, is likewise used. The eluted insulin-containing fraction is a limpid liquid totally freed from colouring substances and containing no or practically no proteins having a larger molecule than insulin or having a smaller molecule than insulin, but only insulin derivatives with practically the same molecular size as the insulin. Practically a 100% yield of insulin is obtained.
