This paper describes the extraction and isolation from dialysis filter
s of two peptides containing the opioid active sequence haemorphin-7.
The filter devices were obtained from uraemic patients subjected to ha
emofiltration. Following acidic extraction of the filter membranes the
peptides were purified by size-exclusion, ion-exchange chromatography
and finally by reversed-phase chromatography using different columns
and different chromatographic systems. The purification was guided by
radioimmunoassay and the structure of the final products was elucidate
d by N-terminal sequencing and fast-atom bombardment-mass spectrometry
as well as micro-electrospray mass spectrometry. The isolated peptide
s were suggested to be identical to fragments 1-41 and 32-41 of the be
ta-chain of human haemoglobin.
