This is a fast, efficient method for purification to homogeneity of human prostatic acid phosphatase [orthophosphoric-monoester phosphohydrolase (acid optimum), EC 3.1.3.2], from seminal fluid. Use of a "high-pressure" liquid-chromatographic gel-filtration column permits high-yield recovery of the purified enzyme with most of its enzymatic and immunological activity retained.
