Abstract: The invention relates to commercially viable methods for producing biologically active vitamin K dependent proteins, particularly Factor IX. Factor IX is produced at a level of at least about 15 mg/L and is at least 25% biologically active. The method relies upon co-expression of one or more of paired basic amino acid converting enzyme (PACE), vitamin K dependent epoxide reductase (VKOR) and vitamin K dependent ?-glutamyl carboxylase (VKGC) at a preferred ratio so that the vitamin K dependent protein is efficiently produced and processed by a recombinant cell.

Abstract: Methods of isolating highly sialylated recombinant vitamin K dependent proteins, particularly Factor IX, by chromatographic methods am described. The highly sialylated recombinant proteins are characterized. The improved Factor IX has at least 62% N-glycosylation with 3 or 4 sialic acid residues and improved bioavailability and pharmokinetic properties.

Abstract: Methods of preparing lyophilized preparations of Factor IX which preserve more than 90% of the calcium binding property of Factor IX are disclosed. Factor IX formulated with trehalose shows a superior stability profile after 12 weeks storage at 25° C./60% relative humidity (RH) and 40° C./75% RH relative to Factor IX formulated without trehalose. The data suggest that the inclusion of trehalose in the formulation could allow for temperature excursions or even long-term room temperature storage of a Factor IX lyophilized product. The formulations tested contained 10 mM histidine pH 6.8, 3% mannitol, 66 mM sodium chloride, 0.0075% Polysorbate 80, with and without 1% trehalose. Upon storage at 40° C./75% RH or 25° C./60% RH over 12 weeks the trehalose-containing formulation was comparable to product stored at 2-8° C. while the formulation without trehalose was found to undergo significant aggregation and loss of activity.

Abstract: The invention relates to commercially viable methods for producing biologically active vitamin R dependent proteins, particularly Factor IX. Factor IX is produced at a level of at least about 15 mg/L and is at least 25% biologically active.

Abstract: Methods for producing cell lines with high levels of biologically active recombinant vitamin K dependent proteins are described. The transfected cell lines do not include heterologous genes for processing enzymes and are not subject to selection pressure such as methotrexate resistance. Cell lines producing Factor VII/VIIa and Factor IX are described. These cell lines can be used for isolation of Factor VII/VIIa and/or Factor IX for treatment of Hemophilia.

Abstract: An apparatus and method for determining transfer time and/or bandwidth between devices connected to a computer network includes sending a script or redirect signal to a browser attempting to fetch a banner from a server that causes a timer or clock to run between the initiation of a subsequent fetch page, fetch image, or other request by the browser and the delivery of subsequent data to the browser. The bandwidth of the device and/or the transfer time between the server and the device on which the browser is operating and the bandwidth of the device can then be used in the selection of which subsequent files, images, scripts, banners, executable software, or other content to be served to the browser or in the selection or configuration of web pages, electronic mail, or executable software to be served to the browser.
