The protocol describes a method for capture of secreted hexahistidine-tagged proteins using expanded-bed adsorption immobilized-metal affinity chromatography. The starting material for the procedure is any crude feedstock that contains a histidine (His)-tagged target protein. The protocol is exemplified using unclarified broth from Pichia pastoris fermentation as feedstock. The protocol can be used for laboratory studies or as part of a process for production of recombinant biotherapeutics to standards of good manufacturing practice. It takes approximately 5 h to purify proteins from 10 liters of feedstock and a further 5-6 h to sterilize and regenerate the column.
