The cholestatic factor showing a potent intrahepatic cholestatic activity was produced from the activated lymphocytes of tuberculine-snsitized guinea pigs by stimulation with PPD. The activity was observed in two fractions obtained by gel filtration on Sephadex G-75 followed by DEAE-cellulose column chromatography. When these two fractions were analyzed by means of an isoelectric focussing electrophoresis, it was shown that they contained different electric charges; one with an isoelectric point at 3.0-3.5 and the other at pH 7.8-8.0.
