23. 4 (pH 7.5), 1 mM EDTA, 1 mM DTT], and 38 mg was applied to a column (1 cm by 10 cm) of Phenyl Sepharose (Pharmacia Biotech, Uppsala, Sweden). The column was washed with three volumes of storage buffer at a flow rate of 1 ml/min, which eluted most of the proteins while leaving the Ag85 complex bound to the Phenyl Sepharose matrix. The individual proteins of the Ag85 complex were eluted with 30 ml of buffer A [10 mM tris-HCl (pH 8.6), 1 mM DTT, 1 mM EDTA] followed by a linear gradient composed of 100% buffer A to 100% buffer B [10 mM tris-HCl (pH 8.6), 1 mM DTT, 1 mM EDTA, 50% ethylene glycol] over a 40-ml volume followed by 10 ml of 100% buffer B.
