摘要:
The invention relates to an immunoglobulin composition suitable for prophylaxis and/or treatment of a viral mediated disease, disorder or condition and to methods of its preparation. In one embodiment, the invention provides a potent intravenous immunoglobulin composition useful for the treatment or prevention of a West Nile virus mediated disease, disorder or condition.
摘要:
A method for preparing a concentrated, immunoglobulin composition for treating subjects vaccinated against or infected with a pathogenic microorganism, comprising: (a) selecting a population of individuals previously vaccinated against one or more antigens associated with the pathogenic microorganism; (b) determining the level of specific antibodies immunoreactive with the pathogenic microorganism in a blood or blood component of the individuals to identify very high titre individuals having a very high titre of the specific antibodies; (c) combining blood or blood components comprising immunoglobulins from the very high titre individuals; and (d) purifying and/or concentrating the product of step (c), thereby obtaining a concentrated immunoglobulin composition. Also disclosed is a concentrated immunoglobulin composition comprising specific antibodies immunoreactive with a pathogenic microorganism, characterized in that the titre of specific antibodies of the composition is at least 5 times higher than the average titre of specific antibodies of a population of individuals previously vaccinated against one or more antigens associated with the pathogenic microorganism. The composition has a relatively high protein concentration and a low percentage of protein aggregates, and is therefore suitable for both iv and im administration. In a preferred embodiment, the pathogenic microorganism is smallpox virus or vaccinia virus.

A concentrated immunoglobulin composition can include specific antibodies immunoreactive with a pathogenic microorganism, wherein the titer of specific antibodies is at least 5 times higher than the average titer of specific antibodies of a population of individuals previously vaccinated against antigens associated with the pathogenic microorganism. The composition has a relatively high protein concentration and a low percentage of protein aggregates. The pathogenic microorganism is preferably smallpox virus or vaccinia virus.

摘要:
The invention relates to an in vitro immunoassay for quantifying thrombin in a sample comprising anti-thrombin III (AT-III) and thrombin. The method comprises the following steps: contacting the sample with a small molecule that recognizes the substrate binding site of thrombin; contacting the thrombin with a thrombin specific antibody raised against a thrombin blocked in the active site; and measuring the level of bound antibody.

摘要:
The present invention is directed to a method for manufacturing a cross-linked gelatin sponge having a surface by providing a cross-linked gelatin sponge, wetting the surface of the sponge by applying a sufficient amount of liquid comprising a protein or peptide active ingredient, wherein a sufficient amount of liquid is one that retains the flexibility of the sponge even after drying. The sponge is then dried the sponge to obtain a flexible, dry and ready to use cross linked gelatin sponge having a layer of protein or peptide active ingredient on the surface thereof.
