The invention relates to the technical field of biological
medicine, in particular to a process for preparing chicken thymus
immunomodulatory peptide through a compound enzymolysis method, the chicken thymus
immunomodulatory peptide and application of the chicken thymus
immunomodulatory peptide, and the process comprises the following steps that firstly, chicken thymus tissue is pretreated, including unfreezing,
cutting,
microwave-assisted treatment and high-speed homogenization, then
pepsin prehydrolysis is conducted, and the chicken thymus immunomodulatory
peptide is obtained; the preparation method comprises the following steps: carrying out enzymolysis and membrane separation on
trypsin, adjusting the pH value, adding
pepsin, carrying out a reaction, carrying out
pH gradient conversion (the pH value is 4.8-5.2 to 6.3-6.7 to 7.3-7.7) to optimize
hydrolysis, carrying out
trypsin secondary
hydrolysis, carrying out purification through a gradient membrane
separation system (10kDa, 1kDa and 500Da), collecting 1kDa-500Da components, and finally concentrating and freeze-
drying the collected components to obtain the
target peptide. According to the process, the yield of the active
peptide is increased by about 42%, and the purity of the active
peptide is increased by about 28%.
