ABSTRACT:
This invention relates to a process for preparing biological glue components from a plasma pool which combines high recovery, quality product and viral safety. In first instance, a triple viral inactivated product comprising fibrogen, fibronectin and FXIII is obtained by treating a concentrate thereof first with a viricide solvent/detergent solution, second with viral nanofiltration, and third with heat. The recovery of a good quality product is not compromised by the process of the invention. In second instance, the same steps are reproduced for obtaining a triple viral safe thrombin product. In that case, a known proprietary process has been improved to increase the recovery of active thrombin by about two fold. One of the steps which increase the yield of thrombin is the dilution of the prothrombin solution with water 4 volumes to 1 volume prothrombin prior to acid precipitation.
