only DESCRIPTION Coagulation Factor IX (Human), Mononine, is a sterile, stable, lyophilized concentrate of Factor IX prepared from pooled human plasma and is intended for use in therapy of Factor IX deficiency, known as Hemophilia B or Christmas disease. Mononine is purified of extraneous plasma-derived proteins, including Factors II, VII and X, by use of immunoaffinity chromatography. A murine...

To date, clinical studies show that the incidence of spontaneous bleeding with new direct oral anticoagulants (DOAs) is comparable to that of established anticoagulants. However, unlike vitamin K antagonists, there are currently no clinically available antidotes or approved reversal agents for new DOAs. Restoring normal coagulation is important in many cases, such as emergency surgeries, seriou...

We report a study on the importance of factor IX activation in thromboplastin-dependent coagulation in plasma. Diluted, CaCl2-containing thromboplastin solutions at constant phospholipid concentration were used to trigger the coagulation in plasma from patients with congenital factor IX and factor VIII deficiency in the presence and absence of added factors IX and VIII, and the generation of th...

Bovine factor IX (Christmas factor) is a coagulation protein present in plasma in a precursor or inactive form. It is a glycoprotein (M, = 55,000) composed of a single polypeptide chain. Factor IX in the presence of calcium ions is converted to factor IX, by factor XI, (activated plasma thromboplastin antecedent) or a protease present in Russell’s viper venom. The activation of factor IX by the...

background: bernard-soulier syndrome is a rare inherited bleeding disease caused by quantitative or qualitative defect of gpib/ix/v, a platelet complex that binds the von willebrand factor. the expression of gpib-ix-v complex can be evaluated by flow cytometry and confirmed by the absence of ristocetin-induced platelet aggregation in platelet-rich plasma. the main aim of the present study was t...

We have studied the interaction between purified human factor XIa and antithrombin in the presence and absence of well-characterized preparations of heparin. The concentrations of hemostatic enzyme, protease inhibitor, and mucopolysaccharide were 5.76 X 10(-8) mol/L, 5.76 X 10(6) mol/L, and either 5.88 X 10(6) mol/L or 0, respectively. Kinetic investigation of this process using a tritiated fac...
