    Abstract:
    We describe a column-chromatographic method for separating the mitochondrial and cytoplasmic isoenzymes of aspartate aminotransferase in human serum. Bed height of the ion exchanger, pH, and salt concentrations in the eluting buffers are shown to be variables affecting the separation of the isoenzymes. Under the optimized conditions selected for this study, a 30% increase in volume was observed in one fraction, associated with changing the salt concentration of the eluting buffer and attributed to a contraction of the DEAE-Sephadex A-50. Elution profiles (enzyme activity vs. fraction number) were examined with highly purified mitochondrial and cytoplasmic isoenzymes of human origin in bovine serum albumin and human serum. Recovery of the enzyme in the eluted fractions averaged 102% (SD, 2.0%) for specimens prepared from the purified isoenzymes and 104% (SD, 10.7%) for 38 human serum specimens. The separation technique showed linearity to catalytic concentrations in excess of 200 U/liter (reaction temperature 30 degrees C) for each isoenzyme. Additional information is presented regarding among-day precision and the effect of specimen dilution.
