A protocol on reversed phase high performance liquid chromatogrpahy (RP-HPLC) using water-acetonitrile gradients under lesser stringent conditions, has been devised to obtain highly purified tuftsin in bulk amount. The protocol was also tested for two different preparations of tuftsin to yield identical quality of peptide.

D014405	Tuftsin	N(2)-((1-(N(2)-L-Threonyl)-L-lysyl)-L-prolyl)-L-arginine. A tetrapeptide produced in the spleen by enzymatic cleavage of a leukophilic gamma-globulin. It stimulates the phagocytic activity of blood polymorphonuclear leukocytes and neutrophils in particular. The peptide is located in the Fd fragment of the gamma-globulin molecule.
