This paper presents a case study of using a multicompartment isoelectric focusing apparatus to determine the isoelectric points and focus preparative quantities of brain derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) and neurotrophic factor 3 (NT3). A separation of PEGylated from unPEGylated forms of granulocyte colony stimulating factor (G-CSF) is described as well. Both BDNF and NT3 have substantially higher pI values in this system than is predicted from sequenced based modeling. Although PEGylated forms of G-CSF can be separated from the unPEGylated forms, separation of protein with differing degrees of PEGylation was not achieved. The paper additionally demonstrates that this technique can be used simultaneously as an analytical and preparative tool, eliminating the need for analytical IEF gels.

D011092 Polyethylene Glycols Polymers of ETHYLENE OXIDE and water, and their ethers. They vary in consistency from liquid to solid depending on the molecular weight indicated by a number following the name. They are used as SURFACTANTS, dispersing agents, solvents, ointment and suppository bases, vehicles, and tablet excipients. Some specific groups are NONOXYNOLS, OCTOXYNOLS, and POLOXAMERS.

D016179 Granulocyte Colony-Stimulating Factor A glycoprotein of MW 25 kDa containing internal disulfide bonds. It induces the survival, proliferation, and differentiation of neutrophilic granulocyte precursor cells and functionally activates mature blood neutrophils. Among the family of colony-stimulating factors, G-CSF is the most potent inducer of terminal differentiation to granulocytes and macrophages of leukemic myeloid cell lines.

D019208 Brain-Derived Neurotrophic Factor A member of the nerve growth factor family of trophic factors. In the brain BDNF has a trophic action on retinal, cholinergic, and dopaminergic neurons, and in the peripheral nervous system it acts on both motor and sensory neurons.

D020933 Neurotrophin 3 A neurotrophic factor involved in regulating the survival of visceral and proprioceptive sensory neurons. It is closely homologous to nerve growth factor beta and BRAIN-DERIVED NEUROTROPHIC FACTOR. Nerve Growth Factor 2
