Abstract

The purpose of this study was to purify epidermal growth factor(EGF) as growth factor from human colostrum. The effects of purified EGF fraction were directly related to the growth of cells. Results were as follows; After eliminated fat from colostrum, skim milk was obtained. We obtained the EGF fraction by performing ultrafiltration and gel filtration, and then were convicted by SDS-PAGE. The result of analysis of purified EGF fraction by high performance liquid chromatography(HPLC) was shown a peak at 31.185 min period. And it was similar with standard EGF that was shown a peak at 31.545 min. 10 ng of EGF was contained in 10 mg/mL through immunoassay to measure EGF content from isolated fraction. After SDS-PAGE, isolation degree of purified fraction was convicted through western blotting. BALB/3T3 cell was the most effectively stimulated and proliferated at 1 mg/mL concentration of the purified EGF fraction and percentage of cell proliferation was about 95%. In the case of IEC-6 cell, that was about 71%.

인유 초유로부터 지방을 제거하여 skim milk을 얻었다. 이것을 ultrafiltration을 한 후 gel filtration을 거쳐 EGF fraction 을 획득하였으며, 이를 SDS-PAGE로 확인하였다. hish performance liquid chromatography(HPLC)에 의해 EGF fraction을 분석한 결과, standard EGF 분석과 비교했을 때 31.545분대와 유사한 31.185분대에 peak가 나타난 것을 인하였다. 분리한 fraction 중 EGF 함유량을 측정하기 위해 immunoassay를 실시한 결과 건조중량 10 mg/mL 중에 약 10ng의 EGF가 포함되어 있는 것으로 측정되었다. SDS- PAGE후 실시한 western blot을 통하여 분리한 분획의 분리도를 확인하였다. 세포성장에 미치는 영향을 살펴본 결과, fibroblast cell인 BALB/3T3의 경우에는 건조중량 1 mg/mL 농도의 fraction 처리후 약 95%의 성장률을 보였으며, epithelial cell 인 IEC-6의 경우에는 약 71%의 성장률을 보였다.
