Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 6
Claim 1
Independent Claim
66 words
A method of preparing an intravenously applicable native-human immune globulin of substantially unchanged half-life and antibody activity but free from anti-complement activity, comprising heating human plasma or human serum for about 2 to 4 hours at about 50° to 56° C, and then fractionating, the heating having been long enough within the recited parameters so that the product upon fractionation is substantially free from anti-complement activity.
