Abstract

The objective of this research was to develop a method for the separation of different types of collagen using a large pore size (100 nm) reversed-phase C-8 column. Three different types of collagen (type I, III, and V) were sufficiently separated on the column using a mobile phase containing water-acetonitrile-trifluoroacetic acid. Collagens found in each HPLC peak were identified using sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) to assay the column effluents.

Trifluoroacetic acid (TFA) was used as an ion pair reagent. This compound improved the chromatographic profile for these proteins on a reversed-phase column. It was observed that with higher TFA concentration, the collagens eluted more quickly.

Type I and type III collagen were also isolated from placental tissue both by DEAE-anion exchange cellulose column and by salt precipitation. The isolated proteins were applied to the reversed phase HPLC column and were detected using SDSPAGE.
