SummaryThis study examines the suitability of four recently characterised monoclonal antibodies (MAbs) for the immunoaffinity purification of human coagulation factor IX (FIX) from plasma concentrates. Initial studies using 125I-FIX indicated that appreciable amounts of bound FIX could be eluted from immobilised MAbs with 0.2 M glycine, 50% ethanediol pH 10 (buffer N). Further studies with FIX concentrates showed that buffer N eluted FIX without compromising the activity of the zymogen. Although FIX was eluted from all four MAbs with this buffer, the best yield (82%) was obtained with MAb ESN-3. ESN-3 bound 40 to 60 iu FIX per mg MAb when immobilised on Sepharose 4B. After washing, column elution with buffer N yielded FIX at 100-200 iu/mg. The purity of the product was confirmed by sodium-dodecyl sulphate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) and by Western blotting. The product contained no detectable mouse IgG (<3%) and <1% FII, X, or protein C.

We have analyzed the expression of several blood coagulation factors (IX, VIII, X, fibrinogen chains) and inhibitors (antithrombin III, protein C) in human embryonic and fetal livers, obtained from legal abortions at 6-11 week post-conception. The age was established by morphologic staging and particularly crown-rump lenght measurement.Total cellular RNA was isolated from partially purified hepatocytes or total liver homogenate using the guanidine isothiocyanate method. Poly(A)+ RNA was selected by oligodT cellulose chromatography. The size and the number of the embryonic and fetal transcripts are equivalent to those observed in adult liver, as evaluated by Northern blot analysis of total or poly(A)+ RNA hybridized to human cDNA probes.The level of coagulation factor transcripts in embryonic and fetal liver was evaluated by dot hybridization of total RNA (0.5-10 ug), as compared to RNA extracted from normal adult liver biopsies. The expression of blood coagulation factors in embryos is generally reduced for all factors, but at a different degree. In 5-11 wk liver, the level of factor IX is 5-10% of that observed in adults, while fibrinogen, protein C, antithrombin III RNA level rises from 25 to 50% and factor X is expressed at a level comparable to that observed in adult liver.We conclude that during these stages of development blood coagulation factors are expressed according to three different time, curves, possibly due to the effect of different types of regulatory mechanisms.
