Abstract
Abstract AHF and CIg yield and purity in cryoprecipitate concentrate are improved by suspending said cryoprecipitate concentrate in aqueous solution and then subjecting to a heat treatment step at a temperature of from about 45° C. to about 56° C. for a period of from about one minute to about sixty minutes to thereby selectively thermally precipitate the contaminating proteins without substantial loss or AHF of CIg activities and recovering the purified AHF on CIg from the precipitate of contaminating proteins.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 10
Claim 1
Independent Claim
93 words
The method of improving the yield and purity of a substance selected from the group consisting of AHF and CIg in a cryoprecipitate concentrate of said substance comprising suspending said cryoprecipitate concentrate in aqueous solution and subjecting to heat treatment at a temperature of from about 45° C. to about 56° C. for a period of from about one to about sixty minutes to thereby selectively thermally precipitate contaminating proteins without substantial loss of said AHF or CIg and recovering the purified AHF or CIg by separation from the precipitate of contaminating proteins.
Claim 2
Independent Claim
93 words
The method of improving the yield and purity of a substance selected from the group consisting of AHF and CIg in a cryoprecipitate concentrate of said substance comprising suspending said cryoprecipitate concentrate in aqueous solution and subjecting to heat treatment at a temperature of from about 45° C. to about 56° C. for a period of from about one to about sixty minutes to thereby selectively thermally precipitate contaminating proteins without substantial loss of said AHF or CIg and recovering the purified AHF or CIg by separation from the precipitate of contaminating proteins.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
15 words
The method of claim 1 in which the temperature is maintained at about 50° C.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
34 words
The method of claim 1 in which the starting cryoprecipitate is formed by freezing of plasma which contains from about 0.1 to about 25 grams of a polycondensed polyglycol per liter of said plasma.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
23 words
The method of claim 3 in which the polycondensed polyglycol is PEG having a molecular weight of from about 2000 to about 10,000.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
12 words
The method of claim 4 in which the PEG is PEG 4000.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
26 words
The method of claim 3 in which the polycondensed polyglycol is a mixed polyethylene-polypropylene glycol having a molecular weight of from about 2000 to about 10,000.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
34 words
The method of claim 6 in which the polycondensed polyglycol is a block copolymer containing about 80% of polyoxyethylene units in the molecule and the polyoxypropylene has a base molecular weight of about 1750.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
30 words
The method of claim 1 in which the starting cryoprecipitate is formed by freezing plasma which contains from about 10 to about 2000 units of heparin per liter of plasma.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim
24 words
The method of claim 3 in which said plasma contains additionally from about 10 to about 2000 units of heparin per liter of plasma.
