| Abstract: | HUMAN PLASMA is a source material that is crucial for the production of unique therapeutic fractionated products. Indeed, plasma contains hundreds of proteins ensuring many physiological functions. The most abun-dant proteins, albumin and immunoglobulin G (IgG) ,are present at about 35 and 10 g/L,respectively,repre-senting about 80% of all plasma proteins. However,other important therapeutic proteins include the coagu-lation factors (factor Ⅷ (F Ⅷ) ; FIX ; Von Willebrand Factor (VWF), fibrinogen) various protease inhibitors (alpha 1-antitrypsin ; antithrombin; C1-esterase) and anticoagulants (protein C) which exhibit potent physi-ological activity. |
