Abstract
A highly purified arginine deiminase is obtained using a two-step purification procedure. The arginine deiminase is isolated and purified from various species of mycoplasmas and is resistant to proteinase K. The growth of tumor cells can be inhibited by administering proteinase K-resistant arginine deiminase or a PEG-conjugate thereof.
