Abstract: The invention relates generally to methods of improving function of a transplanted organ, treating or preventing primary graft dysfunction of a transplanted organ, treating or preventing acute rejection of a transplanted organ, treating or preventing delayed graft function, or achieving a clinical endpoint indicative of a successful organ transplant in a recipient of the transplanted organ which comprise contacting blood from the recipient with an extracorporeal membrane having a plurality of pores having an average pore size of at least 40 kDa, 50 kDa or 60 kDa to permit inflammatory cytokines and other inflammatory molecules to pass through the pores and out of the blood that is returned back to the recipient.

Abstract: The invention relates generally to methods of preparing one or more organs from a donor for transplantation to a recipient comprising passing blood from the donor through an extracorporeal membrane having a plurality of pores having an average pore size of at least 60 kDa.

Abstract: A method of treating a human patient with a hypercoagulable state or protein C deficiency, which comprises administering activated Protein C and protein C Zymogen.

Abstract: The present invention provides a method of treatment of viral hemorrhagic fever with protein C. The claimed invention provides a needed therapy for a serious and debilitating disorder while avoiding complications such as bleeding tendency, toxicity and general side effects of currently available anti-coagulant agents.

Abstract: The present invention provides a method of treatment of heparin-induced thrombocytopenia (HIT) with protein C. The claimed invention provides a needed therapy for a potentially serious and debilitating disorder while avoiding complications such as bleeding tendency, toxicity and general side effects of currently available anti-coagulant agents.

Abstract: The present invention provides a method of treatment of thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (TTP) and hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS) with protein C. The claimed invention provides a needed therapy for a potentially serious and debilitating disorder while avoiding complications such as bleeding tendency, toxicity and general side effects of plasma exchange or currently available anti-coagulant agents.

Abstract: A method of treating a human patient with a hypercoagulable state or protein C deficiency, which comprises administering activated Protein C and protein C Zymogen.

Abstract: The present invention provides a method of treatment for patients with sepsis. The claimed treatment is a combination therapy with protein C and BPI protein. Combining protein C, with its anti-coagulant/anti-inflammatory properties, and BPI, with its bactericidal and endotoxin neutralizing activities, provides an effective, synergistic therapy for sepsis that will reduce or ameliorate the adverse events and improve the clinical outcome of septic patients.
