RESUMO
A novel single-step procedure for the purification of staphylococcal enterotoxin A (SEA), namely, dye ligand affinity chromatography with the triazine dye Red A, was developed. SEA purified by this method produced a single band when subjected to sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. The yield from 5 liters of culture supernatant was 0.113 g, corresponding to an overall yield of 55%. In some instances, purification of SEA from culture supernatants by dye ligand affinity chromatography produced two enterotoxin peaks that could be eluted from the column with 300 and 500 mM phosphate buffer (pH 6.8). Enterotoxin from these peaks produced a single band when subjected to sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, but multiple bands were observed on isoelectric focusing gels. This method of purification represents a significant improvement in time, yields, and purity of enterotoxin over previously published purification methods.
