Purification of wheat germ agglutinin using macroporous or microporous filtration membrane

摘要

This invention relates to a microporous or macroporous affinity filtration membrane wherein the matrix of the membrane is composed of chitin and the pores are made by dissolution of porogen during the preparation of the membrane. The invention also relates to a method for the purification of wheat germ agglutinin using chitin microprous or macroporous membranes.
