METHODS TO MAKE AND USE PROTEINACEOUS MATERIAL PRESENT IN KININ-FREE HIGH MOLECULAR WEIGHT KININOGEN

摘要

Disclosed herein are methods for using a proteinaceous material present in kinin free high molecular weight kininogen to treat surfaces to prevent or minimize adhesion by blood components and/or animal cells. For example, in medical applications, one can treat plastic tubes or other conduits that carry blood to reduce the tendency of the blood to block the conduit. Also disclosed is an improved method of purifying kinin free high molecular weight kininogen.
