Abstract:

Objective To separate and purify hemoglobin A1c(HbA1c) and hemoglobin A0(HbA0) from red blood cells of healthy subjects. Methods Collecting whole blood from healthy subjects, the red blood cells were separated and prepared for hemolysis. HbA1c and HbA0 were separated by weak acid positive ion exchange chromatography and purified by boric acid agarose affinity chromatography respectively. Results Hand-loaded column with weak acid positive ion exchange chromatography was used to separate and collect the peaks of HbA1c and HbA0 from healthy subjects′ red blood cell hemolysis, and the purities were 79.78% and 97.42% by high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) respectively. After being purified by boric acid agarose affinity chromatography,the final purities of HbA1c and HbA0 were 94.3% and 99.7% respectively. Conclusions The single ion exchange chromatography for separating the glycosylated hemoglobin is not ideal,and it must be combined with affinity chromatography to obtain a high purities of HbA1c and HbA0.
