Crude dentin BMP (d-BMP) was extracted from DDM in 3 sequential steps. Purification of crude d-BMP was carried out by liquid chromatography. The molecular weight and the isoelectric point of the purified d-BMP were determined by sodium dodecylsulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) and electrofocusing. All fractioned samples were bioassayed in the thigh muscle pouches of AKR strain mice to test their ability to induce new bone formation. A sequence of 3 extraction steps worked effectively to obtain crude d-BMP. The purified d-BMP was shown to be homogeneous on high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) and SDS-PAGE. The molecular weight and the pI were 25 kDa and 6.5, respectively. The amino acid composition was different from that of known bone-derived BMP. The purified d-BMP induced new bone formation in the thigh muscle pouches. The molecular weight, pI and amino acid composition were different from those of bone-derived BMP.}, pages = {37--47}, title = {A STUDY OF THE BONE MORPHOGENETIC PROTEIN DERIVED FROM BOVINE DEMINERALIZED DENTIN MATRIX}, volume = {59}, year = {1996} }
