    Abstract:
    This study describes a rapid purification of factor IX, factor X and prothrombin by immunoaffinity and ion exchange chromatography. Human factor IX was purified from plasma in 34% yield using barium sulfate adsorption and immunoaffinity purification. The specific clotting activity of purified factor IX was 269 units/mg, with an apparent molecular weight of 57,000 in the presence of sodium dodecyl sulfate on polyacrylamide gels. The immunodepleted, factor-IX deficient plasma was chromatographed on a dextran sulfate agarose column which resolved prothrombin and factor X in highly purified states and with approximately 50% yield. The specific activities of prothrombin and factor X obtained by this procedure were 24 units/mg and 147 units/mg respectively. Both proteins isolated by this method showed a single component on SDS gel electrophoresis and the molecular weights of intact prothrombin and factor X were 72,000 and 67,000 respectively.
