A simple procedure has been developed which for the first time describes the isolation of isomers of the 20,000 dalton variant of human growth hormone (20K hGH). From a human pituitary hormone concentrate different hGH dimers (covalently and noncovalently linked) were enriched by chromatography on SP-Sephadex C-50, DEAE-Sepharose CL-6B and Sephadex G-100. Noncovalently-linked dimers were split by 6 M urea into 20K hGH and 22K hGH monomers. A complete group-separation of 20K hGH and 22K hGH monomers was achieved by chromatography on DEAE-Sepharose CL-6B at neutral pH. The 20K hGH monomer was resolved into four isomers either by preparative isoelectric focusing or by zone electrophoresis in agarose suspension at alkaline pH. The three latter techniques were all used in the presence of 6 M urea. Radioimmunoassay and radioreceptorassay indicated that the isomers obtained were true components of human growth hormone.
