摘要:
The invention relates to modified Factor IX polypeptides such as Factor IX polypeptides with one or more amino acid substitutions. The invention also relates to methods of making modified Factor IX polypeptides, and methods of using modified Factor IX polypeptides, for example, to treat patients afflicted with hemophilia B.
摘要:
Provided is a method of measuring coagulation activity of a PEGylated blood coagulation factor through a silica based activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT) assay. A PEGylated blood coagulation factor was found to display reduced activity in a silica-based APTT assay, and the addition of PEG to the APTT reaction mixture was shown to restore its activity. Methods for determining the coagulation activity of a PEGylated blood coagulation factor in an APTT assay are provided.
