1. A variety of detergents were used to solubilize 5'-nucleotidase from rat liver plasma membranes. 2. The zwitterionic detergent Sulphobetaine 14 gave optimal solubilization by the criteria of release into a high-speed-centrifugation supernatant and the formation of the smallest and least polydisperse active enzyme observed on polyacrylamide-gel electrophoresis. 3. The Sulphobetaine 14-solubilized enzyme from rat liver was purified by using the conventional techniques of ion-exchange chromatography and gel filtration, or by an immunoaffinity step with a monoclonal antibody immunoadsorbent. 4. 5'-Nucleotidase was purified at least 12 000-fold relative to liver homogenate by the immunoaffinity purification scheme and had a specific activity in the range 285-340 mumol/min per mg of protein. The yield was in the range 9-16%. 5. The purified enzyme shows a major polypeptide band of apparent Mr 70 000 on sodium dodecyl sulphate/polyacrylamide-gel electrophoresis and a minor band of apparent Mr 38 000. 6. A rational approach to the general problem of the purification of minor intrinsic membrane proteins is discussed, with the use of polyacrylamide-gel electrophoresis to determine the most appropriate detergent and monoclonal antibodies in subsequent immunoaffinity purification.
