  • Patent number: 8354505
    Abstract: A concentrate of Von Willebrand Factor (VWF) or a complex of Factor VIII/VWF is prepared by creating a solution of VWF or a complex of Factor VIII/VWF containing VWF at a concentration of up to 12 IU VWF:RCo/ml and a VWF/Factor VIII ratio of 0.4 or more; and nanofiltering that starting solution through a filter of pore size of 35 nanometers or smaller. The resulting VWF retains high molecular weight multimers.

  • Patent number: 8252590
    Abstract: The present invention relates to mammalian cell culture media which comprise supernatant from some of the fractions of human plasma fractionation according to the Cohn method, more specifically, the supernatant of fractions I and II+III. When said supernatant is added as a culture medium supplement it provides various nutrients and factors for the effective maintenance and/or proliferation of the cultured mammalian cells. In addition, the present invention relates to the preparation process and use of said medium in the culture of mammalian cells.

  • Patent number: 8231599
    Abstract: A process for detoxifying the blood of a patient in need thereof involves: collecting albumin from human plasma and/or plasma fractions; diafiltration of a mixture containing the collected albumin; stabilizing the resulting diafiltered albumin mixture with sodium chloride and an amino acid in the absence of any added fatty acid; pasteurizing the stabilized albumin mixture; diafiltering the pasteurized mixture to remove, among other things, stabilizers; and detoxifying the blood of the patient by administering the resulting albumin to the patient. In one embodiment, the amino acid stabilizing agent is acetyl tryptophan. The resulting albumin has at least about 80% albumin binding capacity relative to natural plasma albumin, and is storage stable for about 30 months at 30° C.
