摘要:
A process separates and/or isolates plasma proteins, especially human plasma proteins, from a mixture containing plasma proteins, wherein the mixture is applied to a separation medium having an annular design and having a layer of application medium applied thereon; the separation medium having the annular design is rotated essentially vertically about an axis which is defined in the direction of flow of the mixture through the separation medium having the annular design; an eluent is passed through the separation medium having the annular design; and fractions exiting at the end of the separation medium having the annular design are collected.
摘要:
This invention pertains to biocatalysts that are specifically targeted to bind pathogens, such as viruses, and to degrade components of pathogens in order to abrogate their pathogenicity, and to methods of preventing or treating infection by pathogenic organisms. The biocatalysts comprise a binding agent which specifically binds a surface component of a pathogen, for instance the gp120 viral coat protein of the Human Immunodeficiency Virus, and a catalytic moiety which degrades a component of the pathogen so that its pathogenicity is abrogated. The binding agent and the catalytic moiety are linked by chemical linkers or genetic engineering techniques.

摘要:
Monoclonal antibodies and fragments thereof, with binding specificity for an epitope on the carboxy terminus of prothrombin activation peptide F1.2, which can be used in immunoassays to predict thrombosis by measuring the extent of activation of prothrombin. These monoclonal antibodies are also included in a kit for performing such immunoassays.
摘要:
The DNA encoding the cell surface receptor for thrombin has been cloned and sequenced. The availability of this DNA permits the recombinant production of thrombin receptor which can be produced at cell surfaces and is useful in assay systems both for the detection of thrombin and for the evaluation of candidate thrombin agonists and antagonists. Further, the elucidation of the structure of the thrombin receptor permits the design of agonist and antagonist compounds which are useful diagnostically and therapeutically. The availability of the thrombin receptor also permits production of antibodies specifically immunoreactive with the receptor per se or with specific regions thereof which are also useful diagnostically or therapeutically.
摘要:
An isolated polynucleotide which encodes human prothrombin is modified to encode amino acid substitutions at positions 155, 271 and 284 of the prothrombin polypeptide. A second polynucleotide is further modified to encode an additional amino acid substitution at residue 320.The polypeptide encoded by the first polynucleotide is resistant to cleavage by thrombin and factor Xa, exhibits greatly reduced procoagulant activity towards fibrinogen and unchanged anticoagulant activity towards protein C. The polypeptide can be cleaved between amino acid positions 320 and 321 to produce an active serine protease which can activate protein C, thereby inhibiting coagulation and stimulating activated protein C fibrinolytic activity.The polypeptide encoded by the second polynucleotide cannot be cleaved, mimics inactive prothrombin and thereby acts as a reversible inhibitor of coagulation by competing with Factor Xa and Factor Va for interaction at the phospholipid surface.Methods of producing recombinant polypeptides using the two isolated, modified polynucleotides are described.
摘要:
Process for preparing a human thrombin concentrate from the PPSB fraction of plasma that does not involve any addition of factors of animal origin to induce activation of the prothrombin to produce thrombin, and which includes a viral inactivation step using solvent-detergent and purification by cation exchange chromatography. The choice of a protective medium ensures the high specific activity of the final product. The thrombin concentrate obtained using this process is intended for therapeutic use, either alone, to serve as a local hemostatic agent, or in combination with a fibrinogen concentrate to form biological glue.
