Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 25
Claim 1
Independent Claim
145 words
In a process for purifying a protein having antihemophilic factor activity by column chromatography in a column behaving predominantly as a hydrophobic affinity chromatography column, said process comprising the stages of: (a) equilibrating said chromatography column; (b) loading a sample containing said protein on said column, causing said protein to adsorb onto said column; (c) washing said column; (d) eluting said adsorbed protein from said column by causing it to desorb from said column; and (e) recovering said protein in purified form; the improvement comprising: adding to the column a substance consisting essentially of an effective amount for selectively increasing the electrostatic forces on the surface of said protein and concomitantly decreasing the hydrophobicity of said protein of a hydration additive selected from the group consisting of sugars and polyhydric alcohols during said stage (d) thereby promoting the desorption of said protein from said column.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
145 words
