  • Patent number: 10358462
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for the preparation of a solution of immunoglobulins based on an initial solution of immunoglobulins with a purity greater than or equal to 96% in the presence of a polyether or polymer of glycol, characterized in that it comprises the steps of: a) adding caprylic acid or salts of the same to the initial solution; b) adjusting the pH of the solution obtained in step a); c) incubating the solution obtained in step b) for the time and at a temperature necessary for the inactivation of enveloped viruses; d) performing a step of ultrafiltration/diafiltration on the solution obtained in step c).
    Type: Grant
    Filed: September 26, 2016
    Date of Patent: July 23, 2019
    Assignee: INSTITUTO GRIFOLS, S.A.

  • 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.

  • Publication number: 20110275570
    Abstract: A method of treating a patient suffering from Haemophilia A and/or Von Willebrand's disease involves administering the patient a concentrate of Von Willebrand Factor (VWF) or a complex of Factor VIII/VWF 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 about 35 nm or smaller. The resulting VWF retains high molecular weight multimers.

  • Publication number: 20090176709
    Abstract: The process is characterised by the preparation of a solution of Von Willebrand Factor or a complex of Factor VIII/Von Willebrand Factor which contains VWF and a concentration of up to 12 IU VWF:RCo/ml and a Von Willebrand Factor/Factor VIII ratio of 0.4 or more; and then proceeding with nanofiltration of the solution prepared in a) through a filter having a pore size of less than 35 nanometres.
