Abstract
Abstract This invention relates to a method of separating the active α 1 -acid glycoprotein fraction, a co-factor in the lipoprotein lipase reaction, from urine of nephrotic animals and humans as follows: (a) concentrate the said urine to about 10-20% by volume; (b) precipitate undesired protein at pH 4 with ammonium sulfate; and (c) recover the α 1 -acid glycoprotein fraction from the supernatant, neutralize with solid NaHCO 3 , and purify by dialysis versus H 2 O and lyophilize. This active α 1 -acid glycoprotein fraction is utilized in effective amounts in nephrotic animals to reverse the defect in triglyceride removal caused by the loss of plasma constituents in urine.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 5
Claim 1
Independent Claim
72 words
A method of separating the active α 1 -acid glycoprotein fraction, which contains a co-factor in the lipoprotein lipase reaction, from nephrotic urine as follows: (a) concentrate the said urine to about 10-20% by volume; (b) precipitate undesired protein at pH 4 with ammonium sulfate; (c) recover the α 1 -acid glycoprotein fraction from the supernatant, neutralize with solid NaHCO 3 , and purify by dialysis versus H 2 O and lyophilize.
Claim 2
Independent Claim
72 words
A method of separating the active α 1 -acid glycoprotein fraction, which contains a co-factor in the lipoprotein lipase reaction, from nephrotic urine as follows: (a) concentrate the said urine to about 10-20% by volume; (b) precipitate undesired protein at pH 4 with ammonium sulfate; (c) recover the α 1 -acid glycoprotein fraction from the supernatant, neutralize with solid NaHCO 3 , and purify by dialysis versus H 2 O and lyophilize.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
26 words
The method of claim 1 wherein the α 1 -acid glycoprotein is recovered in the presence of an active glycosaminoglycan (GAG) with lipoprotein lipase co-factor activity.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
32 words
The method of claim 1 wherein an active complex is produced embodying α 1 -acid glycoprotein in the presence of GAG, which complex may be further separated into active and inactive components.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
16 words
The method of claim 1 wherein each procedure is performed in the cold at 0°-4° C.
