Abstract
Monomeric, biologically active growth hormone is isolated from microbially-produced insoluble inclusion bodies by solubilizing and denaturing the growth hormone by extraction of the inclusion bodies into a guanidine salt solution such as guanidine hydrochloride and subsequently renaturing at least a portion of the growth hormone in the solution by replacing the guanidine salt solution with a denaturant-free buffer solution and removing precipitated impurities and growth hormone aggregates. The renatured growth hromone is then purified by ion-exchange chromatography.
