Abstract:	Similar to blood type, human plasma haptoglobin (Hp) is classified as 3 phenotypes: Hp 1-1, 2-1, or 2-2. The structural and functional relationship between the phenotypes, however, has not been studied in detail due to the complicated and difficult isolation procedures. This report provides a simple protocol that can be used to purify each Hp phenotype. Plasma was first passed through an affinity column coupled with a high affinity Hp monoclonal antibody. The bound material was washed with a buffer containing 0.2M NaCl and 0.02 M phosphate, pH 7.4, eluted at pH 11, and collected in tubes containing 1M Tris-HCl, pH 6.8. The crude Hp fraction was then chromatographed on a HPLC Superose 12 column in 0.05 M ammonium bicarbonate at a flow rate of 0.5 ml/min. The homogeneity of purified Hp 1-1, 2-1, or 2-2 was greater than 95% as judged by SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. Essentially, each Hp isolated was not contaminated with hemoglobin and apolipoprotein A-I as that reported from the other methods, and was able to bind hemoglobin. Neuraminidase treatment demonstrated that the purified Hp possessed a carbohydrate moiety, while Western blot analysis confirmed alpha and beta chains corresponding to each Hp 1-1, 2-1, and 2-2 phenotype. The procedures described here represent a significant improvement in current purification methods for the isolation of Hp phenotypes. Circular dichroic spectra showed that the alpha-helical content of Hp 1-1 (29%) was higher than that of Hp 2-1 (22%), and 2-2 (21%). The structural difference with respect to its clinical relevance is discussed.
