“…While proteins have also been successfully displaced on metal affinity (Kim and Cramer, 1991;Vunnum et al, 1996) and hydroxyapatite chromatographic supports (Vogt and Freitag, 1997), to date, displacement of proteins has been largely confined to ion-exchange systems (Gerstner et al, 1995;Jayaraman et al, Kundu et al, 1995;Liao et al, 1987;Peterson, 1978;Shukla et al, 1998bShukla et al, , 1998cSubramanian et al, 1988) The displacement of proteins using higher affinity proteins as displacers has been described in HIC systems (Antia et al, 1995). In that work, the authors employed bovine serum albumin (BSA) as a displacer for RNAse A and lysozyme on a butyl HIC column, and ␣-chymotrypsinogen A as a displacer for BSA and lysozyme on a micropellicular HIC resin.…”
