摘要:
A process for recovering interferon which comprises contacting a solution containing an interferon produced by the induced cells of human origin with a water-insolubilized sulfated polysaccharide to allow the interferon to be adsorbed on the water-insolubilized sulfated polysaccharide and then selectively eluting the interferon with an aqueous solution of an inorganic salt.

Novel 5,10,11,11a-tetrahydro-8-methyl-11-sulfo or sulfino-1H-pyrrolo[2,1-c][1,4]-benzodiazepin-2-acrylamides which have antitumor activity and low toxicity are prepared by reacting corresponding 11-reactive compound with a reactive sulfur compound to form 11-sulfino compounds and, if desired, oxidizing the 11-sulfino compounds to obtain 11-sulfo compound.
摘要:
Human albumin free of a blood group substance can simply be prepared by treating an albumin fraction, especially from human placenta with polyethylene glycol to precipitate contaminant proteins containing the blood group substance and recovering albumin from the supernatant fluid.

An organ to be transplanted, such as kidney, can effectively be preserved by perfusion for a considerably long time by the use of a perfusate which is made by mixing a Ringer's solution modified by increasing potassium ion to 8-20 meq/l, a stable perfluorocarbon compound emulsion and albumin, so that the concentration of the perfluorocarbon compound is 7.5 to 12.5% (W/V) and that of albumin is 1-8% (W/V) based on the perfusate.
摘要:
An aqueous solution of haptoglobin is obtained by subjecting an aqueous solution of .alpha. and .beta.-globulin fractions of human blood plasma to further fractionation by use of ammonium sulfate, collecting fractions precipitated at a concentration between 30% and 40% saturation of ammonium sulfate, contacting a reconstituted aqueous solution of the collected fractions with an anion exchanger to adsorb haptoglobin on said anion exchanger, selectively eluting the haptoglobin from the anion exchanger, and then concentrating the resulting aqueous eluate solution. The aqueous solution of haptoglobin is subjected to heat treatment in the presence of a selected stabilizing agent for inactivating hepatitis B virus at an optional step of the process.The thus obtained aqueous solution of haptoglobin has less than 10% hypotensive activity, highly stable during storage, and free from the risk of hepatitis B virus infection. This haptoglobin preparation is used for prevention and treatment of renal disorders caused by hemolysis.
摘要:
Hepatitis B surface antigen particles composed of single polypeptide subunits having a molecular weight of about 55,000 dalton are prepared by heating hepatitis B surface antigen in isotonic sodium chloride solution at about neutral pH containing a surfactant capable of delipidation such as alkali-metal salts of bile acids or of lauroylsarcosinic acid, or poloxyethylene alkylphenol containing an average oxyethylene of 7 to 10 molecules, or polyoxyethylene sorbitan monoalkylester containing an average oxyethylene of 20 molecules.A uniform hepatitis B surface antigen particle thus obtained has a spherical form 18 to 22 nm in diameter with an empty core, a molecular weight of about 2,200,000 dalton, and the characteristic of low toxicity.This hepatitis B surface antigen particle is useful for the preparation of vaccines, as a standard antigen reagent for testing hepatitis B surface antigen and the antibody, and as an antigen for immunizing animals to obtain a highly specific and strong antibody.
摘要:
It has been discovered that lysozyme in the blood is concentrated into the albumin fraction when the blood is fractionated by the alcohol fractionation method at lowered temperature or the ammonium sulfate fractionation method. Lysozyme can be produced by contacting the albumin fraction with a weakly acidic cation-exchanger such as CM-cellulose to adsorb selectively the lysozyme with the cation-exchanger and then eluting the lysozyme adsorbed from the cation-exchanger.
摘要:
Oxygen-transferable perfluorocarbon compounds having 9 to 11 carbon atoms such as perfluorodecalin, perfluoro(C.sub.3.sub.-5 -alkylcyclohexanes), perfluoro(C.sub.4.sub.-6 -alkyl tetrahydropyrans), perfluoro(C.sub.5.sub.-7 -alkyltetrahydrofurans), perfluoro(C.sub.5.sub.-7 -alkylmorpholins) and perfluoro(C.sub.9.sub.-11 -trialkylamines) are emulsified in a physiologically acceptable aqueous solution such as Ringer's solution by the aid of a phospholipid as emulsifier and a fatty acid of 8 to 22 carbon atoms, alkali metal salt or monoglyceride thereof as emulsifying adjuvant. The emulsion is stable for a considerable period of time and contains particles having a particle size ranging from 0.05 to 0.3 .mu.. It is usable as a blood substitute or a perfurate for preservation of the internal organs.
摘要:
Human placental hyaluronidase preparation is prepared by extracting hyaluronidase from human placenta with an aqueous alkaline solution, harvesting globulin fraction from the extract, selectively adsorbing hyaluronidase contained in the fraction on an anion exchanger such as DEAE-Cellulose and eluting it, gel-filtrating the eluate, and lyophilizing the filtrate into powder. The hyaluronidase thus obtained has a molecular weight of about 70,000, with isoelectric point of pH 5.2, and enzymatic optical pH ranging 3.6 - 4.0, differing from conventional bovin testicular hyaluronidase. The preparation contains no heterogeneous proteins which cause ill-effect to human body.
