Magnetic Cation Exchange Isolation of Lysozyme from Native Hen Egg White

Summary Two magnetic macroporous cellulose cation exchangers (Iontosorb MG CM 100 and Iontosorb MG SHP 100) were used for one-step isolation of lysozyme from native, undiluted hen egg white. Highly purified lysozyme (purity >96 %) with specific activity similar to that of commercial lysozyme preparations was obtained in both cases. Carboxymethyl-based cation exchanger exhibited substantially higher capacity for lysozyme; maximum adsorption capacity was 138 mg/mL. The lysozyme-depleted egg white can be used in the same way as the routinely used egg white because no dilution of this material was necessary during the purification process.
