abstract: We have examined the technology for an industrial chromatographic production highly purified factor VIII concentrate intended for therapy of the hemophilia A and characterized this factor VIII. The final product has been prepared from cryoprecipitate of pooled human plasma using a large-scale procedure combining three conventional chromatographic steps based on AEM and CEM ion exchange and SPG or SHR gel filtration chromatography. The specific activity of the product was 459 +/- 19 IU factor VIII/mg protein (n = 10), corresponding to a purification factor of about 15,000. The concentrate was free of the fibrinogen, alpha-2-macroglobulin, alpha-1-acidglycoprotein, haptoglobin. Only three contaminants could be detected: fibronectin, immunoglobulins A and G (about 0.020, 0.004 and 0.034 microgram/IU factor VIII, respectively). The purity of the final product was confirmed by SDS polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, cellulose acetate electrophoresis, Grabar-Williams immunoelectrophoresis, and bidimensional immunoelectrophoresis. Another examination was concern to the technology for an industrial chromatographic production highly purified factor IX concentrate intended for therapy of the hemophilia B and characterized this factor IX. The final product has been prepared from pooled human plasma using a large-scale procedure combining four conventional chromatographic steps based on AEM ion exchange, AFM affinity and SGS gel filtration chromatography. The specific activity of the product was 149 +/- 10 IU factor IX/mg protein (n = 10), corresponding to a purification factor of about 9000. The concentrate was free of the vitamin K-dependent clotting factors II, VII and X and of proteins C and S. Most of possible contaminants were absent in this new product. High-molecular-weight kininogen, factor VIII, XI, XII or prekallikrein were not detected. There were no activated factors, such as factors IXa and Xa, no thrombin and no phospholipids. Only two contaminants could be detected: C4 and inter-alpha-trypsin inhibitor (about 0.8 and 1.2 mg/IU factor IX, respectively). The purity of the final product was confirmed by SDS polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, cellulose acetate electrophoresis, Grabar-Williams immunoelectrophoresis, and bidimensional immunoelectrophoresis. Thrombogenicity tests in rabbits revealed that the high purified factor IX by Institute of Biochemistry technology tested had a lower thrombogenic power than the commercial factors IX tested. The concentrate has been subjected to a special solvent--detergent treatment for definite time and temperature during its production to virus inactivation (it will be describe in following special examination). These data demonstrate that a highly purified therapeutic clotting factor VIII and IX concentrates can be prepared from human plasma by conventional chromatographic methods developed by Institute of Biochemistry of NAS of Ukraine and Combio Ltd.
