Abstract

See full text

The present invention features a method for isolating and purifying proteins and peptides of interest from a plant host, which is applicable on a larger scale. Moreover, the present invention provides a more efficient method for isolating proteins and peptides of interest than those methods described in the prior art. In general, the present method of isolating proteins and peptides of interest comprises the steps of homogenizing a plant to produce a green juice, adjusting the pH of and heating the green juice, separating the target protein/peptide from other components of the green juice by one or more cycles of centrifugation and/or resuspension, and finally purifying proteins and peptides by such procedures as chromatography and/or salt precipitation.
