“…Displacement chromatography has been successfully employed for the purification of proteins using hydroxyapatite (Freitag and Breier, 1995;Vogt and Freitag, 1997), hydrophobic interaction (Shukla et al, 2000b), and ion exchange chromatographic systems (Barnthouse et al, 1998;Gerstner et al, 1995;Jayaraman et al, 1993Jayaraman et al, , 1995Kundu and Cramer, 1997;Peterson and Torres, 1983;Rege et al, 2005;Shukla et al, 1998Shukla et al, , 2000aTugcu et al, 2001). In particular, ion exchange displacement chromatography has attracted significant attention as a powerful technique for the purification of biomolecules (Jayaraman et al, 1993;Kundu and Cramer, 1997;Tugcu et al, 2003a).…”
