Transketolase has been purified for the first time from human leukocytes, according to a new procedure which consists of three conventional steps. The enzyme was finally detached from CM-cellulose by specific elution with a D-xylulose-5-phosphate/D-ribose-5-phosphate mixture and the isolated product
