    Abstract:
    Cation exchange chromatography was evaluated to purify the M antigen from histoplasmin (HMIN). Two H and M antigen-containing fractions, soluble (S) and precipitate (PP), resulted from the initial 0.025 M, pH 3.5 citrate buffer dialysis step. The PP fraction contained 62% of the M antigen activity and was resolubilized. Both fractions were chromatographed on CM Sepharose CL-6B. Polysaccharide C antigen was abundant in the S fraction and most of it did not bind to CM Sepharose. M antigen-enriched fractions were eluted with 0.5 M NaCl. Re-chromatography of the relevant S fraction (S-II) and PP fraction (PP-II) by linear gradient fast protein liquid chromatography (FPLC) removed protein and C impurities. M antigen purified by FPLC from the PP-II fraction was depleted of other antigens when Western blots were probed with anti-M, anti-H and anti-C monoclonal antibodies (Mabs). M antigen was identified as a 94 kDa glycoprotein containing a specific-protein epitope and an epitope that reacted with a Mab against the polysaccharide C antigen. M antigen can be purified from HMIN by tandem cation exchange chromatography of the precipitable fraction on an open CM Sepharose CL-6B column followed by linear gradient FPLC.
