SummaryFactor VIII can be isolated from plasma proteins, including fibrinogen by chromatography on agarose. The best results were obtained with Sepharose 6B. Large scale preparation is also possible when cryoprecipitate is separated by chromatography. In most fractions containing factor VIII a turbidity is observed which may be due to the presence of chylomicrons.The purified factor VIII was active in vivo as well as in vitro.

Factor VTII tends to become less stable the greater its degree of purification. The loss of factor VIII during preparation of high activity concentrates makes such processes uneconomical. Conditions contributing to the stability of factor VIII were investigated.High purity factor VIII was incubated with plasma components fractionated by gel filtration and by anion exchange chromatography. Factor VIII activity was assessed initially and after several hours incubation. Several fractions destroying factor VIII activity were clearly resolved. Fractions stabilizing factor VIII were associated only with albumin.Various buffer systems were investigated similarly. A non-chelating buffer system containing albumin was found to give optimal factor VIII stability.

Animal factor VIII can be useful in the treatment of haemophilic patients with high titres of human factor VIII antibody when the antibody shows low cross-reactivity towards animal factor VIII. The use of currently available preparations of animal factor VIII is associated with rigor, anaphylaxis and transient thrombocytopaenia, which limit their therapeutic value. Analysis of some of these preparations has shown low IgM and high IgG concentrations and haemagglutinating activity against a panel of human red blood cells. It has been demonstrated that purified porcine IgG and IgN agglutinate human red blood cells, while IgM is also complement fixing.A large scale purification procedure has been developed for producing porcine factor VIII from platelet-poor plasma. It involves various precipitations followed by gel filtration through Sepharose 4B-CL on a KS sectional column. The pooled void-volume fractions are concentrated by using the Pellicon cassette system, giving a final yield of approximately 20% of the starting plasma. Porcine factor VIII prepared by this method is stable. Its greatly reduced fibrinogen content facilitates final filtration and prevents the accumulation of fibrinogen in patients treated with high doses. Non-specific haemagglutinins which may have contributed to some of the post-transfusion reactions have been removed. Specific activities of at least 50 U/mg of protein are obtained, and doses greater than 10,000 units can be given in 10 ml.

Inorganic pyrophosphatase (pyrophosphate phosphohydrolase; EC 3.6.1.1) was purified from pig scapula cartilage by fractionation with N-cetylpyridinium chloride and (NH4)2SO4, followed by ion-exchange and gel-filtration chromatography. Enzyme preparations of high purity were obtained, with specific activities (100-400 units/mg) higher than those previously described for mammalian pyrophosphatases. The enzyme activity could be separated into several subfractions on ion-exchange columns.

SummaryAccording to some authors factor VIII procoagulant activity may be dissociable from carrier protein (MW~ 2 × 106) by agarose gel filtration, e.g. at high ionic strength. We were able to reproduce this phenomenon. However, addition of protease inhibitor (Trasylol) prevented the appearance of low molecular weight peak of factor VIII procoagulant activity both at high ionic strength and elevated temperature (37°C). We conclude from our results that procoagulant activity and carrier protein (von Willebrand factor, factor VIII antigen) are closely associated functional sites of native factor VIII macro molecule. Consequently, proteolytic degradation should be avoided in functional and structural studies on factor VIII and especially in preparing factor VIII concentrate for therapeutic use.
