A fragment of recombinant urokinase plasminogen activator (u-PA), was expressed in E. coli in the form of inclusion bodies. Purification and renaturation was achieved in a three-stage process. Capture of the inclusion bodies was achieved by coupling wash steps in Triton X-100 and urea with centrifugation. Solubilised inclusion bodies were then renatured by buffer exchange performed by size-exclusion chromatography (SEPROS). Use of size-exclusion media with higher fractionation ranges resulted in an increase in the recovery of u-PA activity, to a maximum fractionation range of M-r 10 000-1 500 000 after which recovery is reduced, due to a low resolution between the refolded u-PA and denaturant. Fractions of refolded u-PA were concentrated using cation ion-exchange chromatography, which selectively binds correctly folded u-PA. The result is concentrated, active, homogeneous u-PA.
