A new procedure has been devised for the preparation of pure epidermal growth factor in high yield. The method involves a two-step column fractionation of crude extracts of the submaxillary gland obtained from adult male mice. Biologically active epidermal growth factor lacking the COOH-terminal Leu-Arg residues was also isolated.
Savage et al. (Fri,) studied this question.
