  • Process for the manufacture of very high-purity antithaemophilic factor (FVIIIc), and von Willebrand factor, and pharmaceutical compositions containing same
    Patent number: 5760183
    Abstract: The invention relates to a process for the manufacture of very high-purity antihemophilic factor (FVIIIc) and von Willebrand factor. This process enables the manufacture of very high-purity antihemophilic factor (FIIIc) devoid of the bulk of the Willebrand factor comprises a step for purification by ion exchange chromatography with the aid of a chromatography column containing a gel, the purification step comprising a step for adsorption of the antihemophilic factor essentially devoid of the Willebrand factor on the gel in the column and a step for desorption of the purified antihemophilic factor, which is collected, thereby obtaining an antihemophilic factor devoid of the bulk of the Willebrand factor and having an activity as high as 250 IU/mg of proteins. This process also permits to recover von Willebrand factor in very high purity.

  • Process for manufacturing von Willebrand factor
    Patent number: 5252710
    Abstract: The invention relates to a process for manufacturing von Willebrand factor. This process comprises the selective adsorption of factor VIIIc on the gel of a first ion exchange chromatography column, the von Willebrand factor being contained in the non-retained fraction, and is characterized in that the non-retained fraction is treated so as to adsorb the von Willebrand factor selectively on the gel of a second chromatography column, the factor then being desorbed and being obtained with a very high purity.
