The isolation of prothrombin, Factor IX and Factor X from human Factor IX concentrates

Thromb Res. 1984 Dec 15;36(6):537-47. doi: 10.1016/0049-3848(84)90193-2.

Abstract

A relatively simple and reproducible procedure is described for the isolation of functionally and electrophoretically homogeneous prothrombin, factor IX and factor X from clinical Factor IX Concentrates. The procedure involves ammonium sulphate fractionation; then chromatography on DEAE-Sephadex A50, dextran sulphate-Sepharose and heparin-Sepharose. High recovery of all three procoagulants was obtained: 32% for factor IX; 32% for factor X; 29% for prothrombin.
