Method For The Production Of Pure Virally Inactivated Butyrylcholinesterase

View page
US Patent:
7365173, Apr 29, 2008
Filed:
Feb 4, 2002
Appl. No.:
10/061233
Inventors:
Annemarie H. Ralston - Bethesda MD, US
Billy L. Kolen - Springdale MD, US
David John Hammond - Laytonsvile MD, US
Assignee:
American National Red Cross - Washington DC
International Classification:
C07K 1/14
C07K 1/18
C07K 1/22
US Classification:
530412, 530416, 530422
Abstract:
The present invention provides a method for purifying butyrylcholinesterase from various biological fluids. Biological fluids include, e. g. , blood, blood fractions, plasma, and bioreactor broths, and other such mixtures containing butyrylcholinesterase. In one embodiment, the invention provides a method for the production of purified, virally inactivated butyrylcholinesterase by contacting a biological fluid containing butyrylcholinesterase with a cationic exchange chromatography material, with an affinity chromatography material, and treating the fluid with solvent detergent. The resulting purified butyrylcholinesterase can also be subjected to a pasteurization step, and formulated in a sodium chloride/sodium phosphate solution for storage or lyophilization.

A61K038/06
US Classification:
530/330000, 514/018000
Abstract:
The invention provides an isolated or purified peptide that binds at least one plasma protein. In one embodiment, the isolated or purified peptide binds to fibrinogen, comprises no more than 10 amino acids, and comprises an amino acid sequence Xaa-Xaa-Xaa-Xaa-Xaa, an amino acid sequence Gly-Xaa-Arg-Xaa, or an amino acid sequence selected from specific amino acid sequences provided herein. Alternatively, the isolated or purified protein binds to al proteinase inhibitor and/or a protein complex comprising Apo-A1 lipoprotein and paraoxonase. The peptide comprises no more than 10 amino acids and comprises an amino acid sequence Xaa-Xaa-Xaa-His-Xaa-Xaa, and amino acid sequence His-Xaa-Xaa-Xaa-Xaa-Xaa, or an amino acid sequence selected from specific amino acid sequences provided herein. In addition, the invention provides isolated or purified peptide that binds to von Willebrand Factor. The peptide comprises an amino acid sequence Xaa-Xaa-Xaa, an amino acid sequence Tyr-Leu-Xaa-Xaa-Xaa-Thr, or an amino acid sequence selected from specific amino acid sequences provided herein.

Method For Purification Of Alpha-1 Proteinase Inhibitor

View page
US Patent:
60938048, Jul 25, 2000
Filed:
Sep 24, 1998
Appl. No.:
9/159461
Inventors:
Annemarie H. Ralston - Bethesda MD
William H. Drohan - Springfield VA
Assignee:
American National Red Cross - Falls Church VA
International Classification:
C07K 1400
A61K 3514
A23J 100
US Classification:
530416
Abstract:
The methods of the present invention provide a simple means for separating active and inactive Alpha Proteinase Inhibitor (API). The methods further provide means for purifying API at high yield (>70%), and at levels of purity (>90%) and activity (>90%) not heretofore available. Moreover, the methods of the present invention are simple (i. e. , two chromatographic steps) and efficient; and are thus especially suitable to large scale purification processes. These methods will contribute substantially to alleviating the unmet demand for API for therapeutic purposes.

Pathogen Inactivating Compositions For Disinfecting Biological Fluids

View page
US Patent:
61067733, Aug 22, 2000
Filed:
Sep 24, 1998
Appl. No.:
9/159460
Inventors:
Shirley I. Miekka - Gaithersburg MD
William N. Drohan - Springfield VA
Annemarie Ralston - Bethesda MD
Hao Xue - North Potomac MD
Assignee:
American National Red Cross - Falls Church VA
International Classification:
A61L 900
US Classification:
422 28
Abstract:
The present invention is directed to pathogen inactivating compositions that can be used to disinfect various biological fluids, such as blood, blood fractions, and the like. The compositions are suitable for disinfecting biological fluids containing valuable, but labile, components such as proteins without destroying the desired properties of such components. The pathogen inactivating compositions of the present invention are produced by contacting water or an aqueous solution with iodinated matrix material. The compositions can be pre-formulated and stored for subsequent use in disinfecting a wide range of biological fluids.

American National Red Cross - Falls Church VA
International Classification:
C12N 974
A61K 3848
