Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 14
Claim 1
Independent Claim
145 words
A process for the separation of antiVIII:C antibodies present in a liquid, which comprises: (a) contacting said liquid with a solid support constituted by a polymer or copolymer having substitutable groups in its chain and whereof at least part is substituted by groups of formula --(SO 3 ) x M, in which M represents a metal which does not react with the liquid and x represent the valency of M, groups of formula --SO 2 Y, or groups of formula --COY, in which Y represents a radical obtained by removing a hydrogen atom from the amino function of an α-amino acid other than arginine or an α-amino acid derivative other than arginine having an affinity for antiVIII:C antibodies and a selectivity for antiVIII:C antibodies with respect to other immunoglobulins and (b) separating the liquid from the support on which have been adsorbed the antiVIII:C antibodies.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
145 words
A process for the separation of antiVIII:C antibodies present in a liquid, which comprises: (a) contacting said liquid with a solid support constituted by a polymer or copolymer having substitutable groups in its chain and whereof at least part is substituted by groups of formula --(SO 3 ) x M, in which M represents a metal which does not react with the liquid and x represent the valency of M, groups of formula --SO 2 Y, or groups of formula --COY, in which Y represents a radical obtained by removing a hydrogen atom from the amino function of an α-amino acid other than arginine or an α-amino acid derivative other than arginine having an affinity for antiVIII:C antibodies and a selectivity for antiVIII:C antibodies with respect to other immunoglobulins and (b) separating the liquid from the support on which have been adsorbed the antiVIII:C antibodies.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
57 words
A process according to claim 1, wherein radical Y is in accordance with the formula: ##STR11## in which R 1 represents the side chain of an α-amino acid and R 2 a hydrogen atom or an alkyl radical, the radical R 1 having at least one function chosen from among the functions COOH,--NH 2 ,--OH and --SH.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
25 words
A process according to claim 1, wherein the radical Y is obtained by removing a hydrogen atom from the amino function of the glutamic acid.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
23 words
A process according to claim 1, wherein the radical Y is obtained by removing a hydrogen atom from the amino function of hydroxyproline.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim

Claim 7
Dependent Claim
32 words
A process according to claim 1, wherein the radical Y is obtained by removing a hydrogen atom from the amino function of an amino acid chosen from among alanine, phenylalanine and lysine.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
81 words
A process according to any one of the claims 1 to 6, wherein said support is constituted by polystyrene or a styrene copolymer to which are fixed groups of formula --SO 2 Y, in which Y has the meaning given in any one of the the claims 1 to 6 and groups of formula --(SO 3 ) x M, in which M represents a metal which does not react with the liquid and x represents the valency of the metal M.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
17 words
