Plasminogen was prepared from human plasma by affinity chromatography on L-lysine-
substituted Sepharose. Thirty milligrams of plasminogen, with a specific activity of 100
caseinolytic units (Committee on Thrombolytic Agents) per milligram of nitrogen, were
obtained from 340 milliliters of plasma. This corresponds to over 200-fold purification from
plasma. Disc-gel electrophoresis at p H 8.3 indicated seven distinct bands, all of which
contained activity.
