Summary
A therapeutic concentrate of factor XIII containing both A and B sub-units has been prepared from 300 kg pools of human plasma. The process starts from a cold-ethanol fraction from cryoprecipitate supernatant and therefore does not interfere with the recovery of other clinically valuable plasma proteins. Factor XIII is purified approximately 600-fold from plasma by precipitation with sodium citrate and by the removal of fibrinogen by brief heating. The product has been pasteurised in sorbitol solution to inactivate blood-borne viruses, ultrafiltered to remove sorbitol, adsorbed with bentonite and freeze-dried in a formulation meeting requirements for intravenous injection.
