The invention relates to a recombinant human nerve growth factor purifying method based on a CHO cell expression system. The recombinant human nerve growth factor purifying method based on the CHO cell expression system comprises the following steps: 1), centrifugating supernatant, successively removing living cells and cell fragments, and removing impurities and bacteria by filtering; 2), applying a supernatant sample to an EMD SO3-(M) chromatography column, rinsing unbound protein and impure protein, eluting and collecting a target protein peak; 3), concentrating the protein with ultrafiltration equipment with a molecular weight cutoff of 3K; and 4), applying the sample to Superdex 75-containing chromatography column and collecting the target protein peak, namely a recombinant human nerve growth factor stoste. According to the CHO cell expression system and the recombinant human nerve growth factor purifying method based on the CHO cell expression system, the recombinant human nerve growth factor with the purity greater than 98% and the specific activity higher than the 5* 10 to the power of 5 AU / mg can be prepared; compared with other methods, the recombinant human nerve growth factor purifying method based on the CHO cell expression system has the advantages that the steps are reduced, the production cycle is greatly shortened, and the processing capacity and the yield are improved; therefore, the recombinant human nerve growth factor purifying method based on the CHO cell expression system is application for large-scale production.
