## Abstract Baculovirus has emerged as a novel gene delivery and vaccine vector, and the demand for purified baculovirus is rising due to the increasing in vivo applications. Since the baculoviral envelope protein gp64 is a glycoprotein, we aimed to develop a concanavalin A (Con A) chromatography p

Abstract
Endoglucanase (C~x~ cellulase) and cellobiase are often cross‐contaminated in separation procedures by ion‐exchange chromatography such as DEAE‐cellulose. By using concanavalin A (Con A)–agarose chromatography, C~x~ cellulase and cellobiase from Trichoderma viride can be separated. C~x~ cellulase showed affinity toward Con A, indicating a glycoprotein containing α‐D‐mannopyransyl and α‐D‐glucopyranosyl end groups or internal 2‐O‐D‐mannopyranosyl residues in sugar moieties. This method provides a way to estimate the quantities of C~x~ enzyme produced by T. viride and possibly by other organisms.

Eight chemically modified cellulose supports were tested for their ability to adsorb components of the Aspergillus niger cellulase system. At least two of the most effective adsorbents, aminoethyl cellulose and carboxymethyl cellulose, were shown to be useful for the fractionation of cellulases. The
