  • Patent number: 9359610
    Abstract: A method for purifying GLA-domain coagulation proteins, includes the following steps: a) bringing a sample containing one or more GLA-domain coagulation proteins into contact with an affinity substrate on which nucleic aptamers which bind specifically to the GLA-domain coagulation proteins are immobilized, in order to form complexes between (i) the nucleic aptamers and (ii) the GLA-domain coagulation protein(s), b) releasing the GLA-domain coagulation protein(s) from the complexes formed in step a), and c) recovering the GLA-domain coagulation protein(s) in a purified form.

  • Patent number: 7888476
    Abstract: This invention relates to a process for the preparation of a very high purity von Willebrand factor concentrate from a biological fraction containing von Willebrand factor, including a separation by anion exchange chromatography using a vinyl polymer support of weak base type, the separation comprising the steps of loading of the chromatographic support with the fraction containing von Willebrand factor, previously equilibrated with a suitable buffer, with a predetermined flowrate allowing the retention of the von Willebrand factor, washing of the support with an acidic buffer with a flowrate higher than the flowrate of the step a) until the not-retained proteins and the contaminants are removed, flushing and equilibrating of the chromatographic support with the buffer and using the flowrate of the step a), and elution of the von Willebrand factor by increasing of the ionic strength of the step c).
