A high‐yield purification procedure for protein fractions derived from porcine bone matrix extracts is described, which has a high abundance of bone morphogenetic protein‐2 (BMP‐2). Naturally derived pBMP‐2, ∼5 μg per kilogram of porcine bone matrix, was isolated by using a 300 kDa membrane before chromatographic processing on heparin affinity media. The elution of pBMP‐2 and transforming growth factor‐β 1 (TGF‐β 1 ) revealed morphogen peaks that were unresolved on Prosep ® medium, but resolved on hydroxyapatite medium. Antagonism was observed in animal studies when the two proteins were combined in specific doses. The TGF‐β 1 fraction alone was not active in the rodent heterotopic in vivo bioassay, confirming previously obtained results. © 2012 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
