Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for isolating Glu-plasminogen, said method comprising the anion exchange chromatography of blood plasma or a plasma fraction comprising Glu-plasminogen. Furthermore, the present invention relates to Glu-plasminogen obtainable from the method of the present invention and its use in a method for treating a patient suffering from or being at risk of developing a disorder selected from the group consisting of organ failure, a thrombotic event, arterial obstructive disease, microcirculation, disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC), and a combination of two or more thereof.

Abstract: The present invention relates to plasminogen for use in a method for treating or preventing lung dysfunction associated with the formation of hyaline membranes in a patient, wherein the patient is preferably further administered with at least one plasminogen activator.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a polypeptide comprising an epitope having a sequence homology of at least 75% to a sequence section of both Clostridium difficile toxin A and B. Moreover, the present invention refers to a vaccine comprising such polypeptide. The invention further relates to an antibody binding to Clostridium difficile toxins A and B and to a method for isolating and/or detecting such antibody and to uses of the polypeptides and antibodies.

Abstract: Surprisingly, it was found that zeolites can be used to decrease the concentration of inorganic ions, such as calcium ions, from a body fluid, such as plasma, in sufficient way. Such decrease of the concentration of inorganic ions, such as calcium ions, was found to lead to an inhibition of hemostasis including an inhibition of coagulation, especially inhibiting the activation of factor VII and the formation of fibrin.

Abstract: The present invention relates to plasminogen for use in a method for preventing or treating a thrombotic event in a patient, wherein the patient is at risk of developing or is suffering from microthrombi.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates generally to sorbents for binding proteins from blood plasma comprising a solid carrier material and an oligopeptide immobilized thereon, which selectively binds the protein from the blood plasma, and to a method for separating autologous proteins from blood plasma wherein the blood plasma is brought in contact with a corresponding sorbent, the desired protein is allowed to bind to the sorbent, the sorbent is separated from the plasma and the protein is subsequently separated from the sorbent. Corresponding sorbents and method allows for the selective isolation of specific blood plasma proteins directly from the blood plasma without having to conduct a tedious fractionation. This significantly improves the protein yield and provides a highly effective isolation of blood plasma protein constituents such as IgG, albumin, factor V and factor VIII in a simple, cheap and time-efficient process.
