Objective To purify ?-glutamyltranspeptidase (GGT) strongly combined to datura stramonim (DSA) lectin from human liver cancer tissue,which will be used as the antigen to produce antibodies for early diagnosis of liver cancer.Methods The GGT strongly combined to DSA lectin in human liver cancer tissue was purified by lectin affinity chromatography from human liver cancer tissue, including rough extraction,dialysis,ion-exchange chromatography and lectin affinity chromatography.Results The catalysis units per milligram protein of GGT increased about 84.9 times.The yield of the GGT was 1.60%.Conclusion The protocol in this study is efficient to purity GGT from human liver cancer tissue.
