The purification steps included ammonium sulfate fractionation and chromatography on DEAE-cellulose, CM-Sepharose, and Superdex 75 columns. The molecular mass of the purified protein was 132 kDa by gel filtration technique; it consisted of 2 subunits with molecular masses of kDa and kDa by SDS-PAGE. Results of the dose-dependent experiment with purified protein prior to CCl4 administration were higher at 4 mg/kg body weight. The antioxidant activity of the purified protein was determined in vitro by DPPH radical scavenging test. Administration of CCl4 significantly increased the activities of alanine aminotransferase, aspartate aminotransferase, and alkaline phosphatase in serum. However, a significant decrease in the level of total serum protein as well as the activities of superoxide dismutase, catalase, and reduced glutathione in liver tissues, and a significant increase in malondialdehyde level, were recorded. Pretreatment with 4 mg/kg body weight of the purified protein significantly altered the deteriorating damage induced by CCl4 toxicity to a near normal range, which was similar to treatment with vitamin C. These results suggest that the purified protein possesses
