摘要:
A Factor X (hereinafter referred to as "FX") with a high activity is provided. The present invention relates to a method for efficiently preparing a recombinant, two-chain FX which comprises intervening glycosylation at such an amino acid sequence that is essential for glycosylation in FX to thereby allow for expression of a recombinant FX with no glycosylation, and the recombinant FX with no glycosylation obtained by said method.
摘要:
Antisense oligonucleotides are provided which are complementary to at least a portion of HCV RNA and specifically hybridizable therewith. These oligonucleotides can be administered to inhibit the replication of Hepatitis C virus in vivo or in vitro and to treat Hepatitis C virus-associated disease. These compounds can be used either prophylactically or therapeutically to reduce the severity of diseases associated with Hepatitis C virus.
摘要:
The present invention provides for a process for preparing a recombinant human thrombin. A process for preparing a recombinant human thrombin which comprises: (1) obtaining a transfectant cell producing a human prothrombin by introducing an expression vector, wherein a gene fragment coding for a human prothrombin gene is incorporated, into an animal cell; (2) purifying a human prothrombin from the culture of the transfectant cell above by an anion exchanger; (3) converting the purified human prothrombin into a human thrombin by subjecting said human prothrombin to the action of ecarin; and (4) purifying the human thrombin from the solution after treatment with ecarin by an affinity method using benzamidine and a cation exchanger, and human thrombin obtained by said process, and a CHO cell that produces human prothrombin.
摘要:
A recombinant ecarin protein that specifically activates prothrombin, said protein being efficiently prepared by the genetic engineering technique comprising the steps: (1) culturing a transformant microorganism or animal cell transformed with an expression vector in which a gene encoding ecarin is incorporated to the downstream of a promoter so as to produce and accumulate ecarin in culture supernatant or within said transformant and recovering the produced ecarin; and (2) purifying a solution containing the recovered ecarin to obtain purified ecarin. The present invention allows for production of recombinant ecarin on an industrial scale.

A genetic recombinant human thrombin is provided. Human thrombin is efficiently prepared by the genetic engineering technique comprising the steps: (1) culturing a transfectant animal cell transfected with an expression vector in which a gene encoding human prethrombin is incorporated to the downstream of a promoter so as to produce and accumulate prethrombin in culture supernatant and recovering the produced human prethrombin; (2) treating a solution containing human prethrombin recovered in step (1) with ecarin so as to convert human prethrombin into human thrombin; and (3) purifying the solution obtained after the above activation process to obtain purified human thrombin. The present invention allows for provision of human thrombin in a large scale in a safe and economical manner due to exclusion of blood-derived components.
