ABSTRACT:
A composition of matter consisting of recombinant human immune interferon having a near-UV circular dichroic spectrum in aqueous solution at neutral pH with positive bands at about 259 nm, 266 nm, 280 nm, and 287 nm, and with shoulders at about 270 nm and 292 nm. Also disclosed is a method for purifying human immune interferon in which proper refolding of the interferon is accomplished by unfolding in a denaturant, such as urea, dilution in ammonium acetate to approximately 0.18 mg/ml of interferon (or less), and dialysis of the solution. The properly folded, purified product which results has a four- to eight-fold greater activity than the aggregate which otherwise results.
