Abstract
Abstract The present invention is directed to a process for making pure human plasminogen suitable for the preparation of the plasminogen-streptokinase complex. The method of the present invention allows the removal of impurities from plasminogen prior to complexing the latter with streptokinase, resulting in a plasminogen-streptokinase complex with much higher plasminogen activating activity.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 10
Claim 1
Independent Claim
115 words
THE PROCESS OF PURIFYING PLASMINOGEN CONSISTING ESSENTIALLY IN PREPARING A SOLUTION OF 0.5-50 MG./ML. OF A PLASMINOGEN FREE OF HEPATITIS AGENT IN WATER BUFFERED TO A PH OF 5 - 10 AND CONTAINING 0.01 - 2 MOLAR CONCENTRATION OF A SOLUBILITY ENHANCER, PRECIPITATING THE IMPURITIES ASSOCIATED WITH SAID PLASMINOGEN BY ADDING SAID SOLUTION AMMONIUM SULFATE TO A MOLAR CONCENTRATION OF BETWEEN 0.1 AND Y REMOVING THE FORMED PRECIPITATE, AND PRECIPITATING THE SUBSTANTIALLY PURE PLASMINOGEN BY ADJUSTING THE MOLAR CONCENTRATION OF AMMONIUM SULFATE OF THE SOLUTION SO OBTAINED TO A MOLAR CONCENTRATION OF BETWEEN X AND 4.0 WHEREIN X - Y REPRESENTS A MOLARITY DIFFERENCE OF AT LEAST 0.2 AND Y IS BETWEEN 0.6 AND 1.2.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
