Peak wavelengths and the corresponding extinction coefficients are labeled. (B) Size exclusion chromatogram of the bat star HBD, obtained from the last step of the purification procedure. The elution volumes of the dimeric human HBD (54 kDa) and the monomeric human NC9 (29 kDa) proteins are indicated as triangles. Inset, a sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) image of the 13.8-mL peak fraction of bat star HBD.
