<p>Production of a high purity concentrate of the antihemophilic Factor VIII (AHF) by precipitation of an aqueous solution of cryoprecipitate from blood plasma in a first step with such an amount of polyethylene glycol (PEG), preferably about 4 % by weight, as will precipitate a substantial amount of the present fibrinogen, subjecting the fibrinogen-free solution to a second precipitation step with preferably about 12 % by weight of PEG in the presence of a salting-in agent, such as an amino acid, in particular lysine or arginine, or a carbohydrate, and then recovering the precipitate with a concentrated content of the present Factor VIII. The obtained Factor VIII concentrate with a very low content of immunoglobulins and other plasma proteins has a solubility in an aqueous injection medium of 45 to 500 units/ml and a high specific activity of up to 50 units/mg protein. </p> |
