Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 4
Claim 1
Independent Claim 117 words
A process for pasteurizing an aqueous solution consisting essentially of fibronectin to inactivate hepatitis viruses therein while preserving its native character consisting essentially of: heating and simultaneously mechanically agitating said aqueous solution containing fibronectin at 60° to 70° C. for 10 to 20 hours to effect pasteurization thereof in the presence of: 25% to 50% w/v of a polyol selected from the group consisting of sucrose, maltose, lactose, glucose, mannose, and galactose; 0.01% to 0.5% w/v of a surface active agent selected from the group consisting of sodium cholate, sodium taurocholate, sodium deoxycholate, and sodium glycocholate; and 0.0005 to 0.2M of a chelating agent selected from the group consisting of ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid, ethylene-bis-(oxyethylene nitrile)tetraacetic acid and orthophenanthrolene.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 117 words
A process for pasteurizing an aqueous solution consisting essentially of fibronectin to inactivate hepatitis viruses therein while preserving its native character consisting essentially of: heating and simultaneously mechanically agitating said aqueous solution containing fibronectin at 60° to 70° C. for 10 to 20 hours to effect pasteurization thereof in the presence of: 25% to 50% w/v of a polyol selected from the group consisting of sucrose, maltose, lactose, glucose, mannose, and galactose; 0.01% to 0.5% w/v of a surface active agent selected from the group consisting of sodium cholate, sodium taurocholate, sodium deoxycholate, and sodium glycocholate; and 0.0005 to 0.2M of a chelating agent selected from the group consisting of ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid, ethylene-bis-(oxyethylene nitrile)tetraacetic acid and orthophenanthrolene.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 127 words
A process for pasteurizing an aqueous solution consisting essentially of fibronectin to inactivate hepatitis viruses therein while preserving its native character consisting essentially of: heating and simultaneously mechanically agitating said aqueous solution containing fibronectin at 60° to 70° C. 10 to 20 hours to effect pasteurization thereof in the presence of: 25% to 50% w/v of a polyol selected from the group consisting of sucrose, maltose, lactose, glucose, mannose, and galactose; 0.01% to 0.5% w/v of a surface active agent selected from the group consisting of (oxy-1,2-ethanediyl) 20 monododecanoate sorbitan (oxy-1, 2-ethanediyl) 20 monohexadecanoate sorbitan, (oxy-1, 2-ethanediyl) 20 monooctadecanoate sorbitan and (oxy-1, 2-ethanediyl) 20 mono-9octadecanoate sorbitan; and 0.0005 to 0.2M of a chelating agent selected from the group consisting of ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid, ethylene-bis-(oxyethylene nitrile)tetraacetic acid and orthophenanthrolene.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 127 words
A process for pasteurizing an aqueous solution consisting essentially of fibronectin to inactivate hepatitis viruses therein while preserving its native character consisting essentially of: heating and simultaneously mechanically agitating said aqueous solution containing fibronectin at 60° to 70° C. 10 to 20 hours to effect pasteurization thereof in the presence of: 25% to 50% w/v of a polyol selected from the group consisting of sucrose, maltose, lactose, glucose, mannose, and galactose; 0.01% to 0.5% w/v of a surface active agent selected from the group consisting of (oxy-1,2-ethanediyl) 20 monododecanoate sorbitan (oxy-1, 2-ethanediyl) 20 monohexadecanoate sorbitan, (oxy-1, 2-ethanediyl) 20 monooctadecanoate sorbitan and (oxy-1, 2-ethanediyl) 20 mono-9octadecanoate sorbitan; and 0.0005 to 0.2M of a chelating agent selected from the group consisting of ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid, ethylene-bis-(oxyethylene nitrile)tetraacetic acid and orthophenanthrolene.
