摘要:
This application describes methods of treatment involving a protease for activating the blood clotting factor VII, which (a) activates blood clotting factor VII, (b) is inhibited by the presence of aprotinin, (c) is increased in its activity by the presence of at least one of the following: calcium ions, heparin, or heparin related substances, and (d) in SDS-PAGE, on subsequent staining in the non-reduced state, has one or more bands in the molecular weight range from 50 to 75 kDa, and in the reduced state has a band at 40 to 55 kDa and one or more bands in the molecular weight range from 10 to 35 kDa, and a band, which corresponds to a proenzyme, in the molecular weight range from 60 to 65 kDa.
摘要:
The present invention relates to modified cDNA sequences coding for vitamin K-dependent polypeptides, in particular human Factor VII, human Factor VIIa, human Factor IX and human protein C and their derivatives with improved stability and extended plasma half life, recombinant expression vectors containing such cDNA sequences, host cells transformed with such recombinant expression vectors, recombinant polypeptides and derivatives which do have biological activities of the unmodified wild type protein but having improved stability and processes for the manufacture of such recombinant proteins and their derivatives. The invention also covers a transfer vector for use in human gene therapy, which comprises such modified DNA sequences.
摘要:
Mutants of the DNA sequence coding for the protease (FSAP) which activates blood clotting factor VII and single-chain plasminogen activators, the mutants comprising a G/C base exchange at nucleotide position 1177 and/or a G/A base exchange at nucleotide position 1601, are described. The corresponding protease has a Glu/Gln exchange at amino acid position 393 and/or a Gly/Glu exchange at amino acid position 534. Diagnostic methods which are used for detecting FSAP in body fluids or tissue cells and also for identifying patients with genetic heterozygous or homozygous FSAP expression are also described. In addition, antibodies against FSAP and its mutants are disclosed and diagnostic methods which can be used to detect antibodies against FSAP and its mutants are specified.
摘要:
The present invention relates to pharmaceutical formulations comprising the C1 esterase inhibitor (C1-INH), exhibiting a higher stability for prolonged storage and a reduced formation of aggregates of said esterase inhibitor (C1-INH) upon storage for ameliorated use in treating or preventing disorders related to kinin formation.
摘要:
The present invention relates generally to a method of reducing the level of at least one protein selected from the group consisting of plasminogen, tissue plasminogen activator and other protease(s) in a solution comprising at least one protein selected from the group consisting of fibrinogen, Factor VIII and von Willebrand factor (VWF), the method comprising: (i) passing a feedstock comprising at least one protein selected from the group consisting of fibrinogen, Factor VIII and VWF through a hydrophobic charge-induction chromatographic resin under conditions selected such that at least one protein selected from the group consisting of plasminogen, tissue plasminogen activator and other protease(s) present in the feedstock is bound to the resin; and (ii) recovering a solution comprising the at least one protein selected from the group consisting of fibrinogen, Factor VIII and VWF which passes through the resin, wherein the concentration of the at least one protein selected from the group consisting of plasminogen, tissue plasminogen activator and other protease(s) in the solution is reduced by at least 50% compared to the feedstock. Also provided are solutions and pharmaceutical formulations comprising the fibrinogen and/or Factor VIII and/or VWF recovered by such methods, and uses thereof.
摘要:
This application relates to neurological inflammatory diseases, such as multiple sclerosis, and to methods of administering a Factor XII inhibitor to prevent, treat, or otherwise ameliorate the effects of a neurological inflammatory disease, such as multiple sclerosis. Agents and pharmaceutical compositions comprising agents which inhibit the activity of FXII are also provided.
摘要:
The present invention relates to pharmaceutical preparations comprising two-chain Factor VIII that are essentially free of Factor VIII-Light Chains (FVIII-LCs) which are not associated with Factor VIII-Heavy Chains (FVIII-HCs) having higher purity and which are less immunogenic. The invention also relates to methods to test the suitability of a pharmaceutical Factor VIII preparation and to methods to reduce in pharmaceutical Factor VIII preparations the amount of FVIII-HCs which are not associated with FVIII-LCs and/or of FVIII-LCs which are not associated with FVIII-HCs.
摘要:
The present invention relates to a holder for an injection syringe (18), with a housing (12) designed to receive the syringe, with a stand (14) for placing on a supporting surface, and with retaining means (38, 52, 54, 62, 64) for axially and/or radially fixing the syringe (18) on or in the holder, wherein the retaining means (38, 52, 54, 62, 64) are designed in such a way that an outlet (26) of a syringe (18) arranged vertically in the holder comes to lie facing the free end of the stand (14) and at a distance therefrom.
