Abstract: A process for the partial or complete separation of glycosylated and nonglycosylated proteins is described, in which: a) a triazine dye immobilized on a matrix is incubated with a mixture of glycosylated and nonglycosylated proteins, b) the matrix is then washed to remove the unbound proteins, and c) the proteins are eluted by means of a stepwise or continuous increase in the ionic strength or in the pH, nonglycosylated proteins and proteins having an increasing degree of glycosylation being collected separately from one another in the eluate fractions obtained. By means of the use of this process it is possible, for example, to prepare a human albumin which is free of glycoside bonds and is expressed in yeast cells.

Abstract: The use of antithrombin III for the prophylaxis and therapy of oncological diseases and diseases accompanying neovascularization, immune complex-mediated and autoimmune diseases, viral infections, fibrotic and granulomatous diseases, allergic diseases, degenerative diseases of the nervous system and arteriosclerosis and also acute inflammatory diseases and trauma is described.

Abstract: A pharmaceutical preparation is described while is useful for the treatment of inflammatory processes being accompanied by an increased distribution of cytokines and/or tissue factor in the human body, which preparation contains Antithrombin III as active ingredient.

Abstract: A stabilized protein preparation is described which contains no antithrombin III and is protected against loss of activity during pasteurization by the addition of stabilizers which comprise one or more saccharides as a mixture with more than 0.5 mol/l of one or more amino acids chosen from the group arginine, lysine, histidine, phenylalanine, tryptophan, tyrosine, aspartic acid and its salts or glutamic acid and its salts. Glycine and/or glutamine can also be additionally added to each of these amino acids. A process for the viral inactivation or viral depletion of a protein preparation of this type which contains the abovementioned stabilizers and is subjected to pasteurization or viral depletion by filtration, centrifugation or treatment with detergents or bactericidal or virucidal agents is also described.

Abstract: The present invention provides antibodies that are specific for the latent or locked form of antithrombin III (AT III). The antibodies have a specificity for latent antithrombin III (1-AT III) that is higher than the specificity for natural AT III. The invention also provides methods of making and 1-AT III. It further provides methods of detecting and quantitating 1-AT III in biological samples.

Abstract: Antithrombin, in particular antithrombin III, is an agent or active ingredient suitable for the prevention and/or therapy of vasculoproliferative disorders such as, for example, transplant vasculopathy, restenosis, in-stent restenosis, and pulmonary hypertension.

Abstract: A stabilized antithrombin III preparation is described which is protected against a loss of action during pasteurization by the addition of stabilizers which consist of one or more saccharides in a mixture with more than 0.5 mol/l of one or more amino acids from the group consisting of arginine, lysine, histidine, phenylalanine, tryptophan, tyrosine, aspartic acid and its salts or glutamic acid and its salts, it also being possible to additionally add glycine or glutamine to each of these amino acids.

Abstract: A process is disclosed for the baseline separation of the &agr; and &bgr; variants of antithrombin III AT-III. The process involves subjecting a sample comprising AT III to cyclodextrin-modified micellar electrokinetic chromatography (CD-MEKC). The CD-MEKC is performed with a buffer comprising boric acid, an anionic tensid, &bgr;-cyclodextrin, and an aliphatic diamine at a basic pH. The CD-MEKC results in the separation of the AT III into AT III &agr; and ATIII &bgr;. The anionic tensid can be sodium dodecyl sulfate and the aliphatic diamine can be 1, 5-diaminopentane.

Abstract: A process for determining glycosaminoglycans in antithrombin III (ATIII)-containing solutions by increasing the ionic strength of the AT III-containing solution until the interaction between AT III and glycosaminoglycans is prevented, removing the AT III which has been released from the glycosaminoglycans from the solution, and desalting and determining the glycosaminoglycan which has remained in the solution.
