Abnormal factor IX variant proteins were isolated from the plasmas of three unrelated severe hemophilia-B families that had been previously shown to contain functionally impaired molecules immunologically similar to normal factor IX. The families studied were: (1) a patient with markedly prolonged
Factor IXR94S is a naturally occurring hemophilia B defect, which results from an Arg 94 to Ser mutation in the second epidermal growth factor (EGF)-like module of factor IX. Recombinant factor IXR94S was activated by factor XIa/calcium with an approximately 50-fold reduced rate and by factor
Recent data demonstrate that the introduction into skeletal muscle of an adeno-associated viral (AAV) vector expressing blood coagulation factor IX (F.IX) can result in long-term expression of the transgene product and amelioration of the bleeding diathesis in animals with hemophilia B. These data
Canine plasma factor IX was purified to homogeneity by a combination of barium citrate precipitation and three-step column chromatographies of DEAE sepharose, heparin agarose and a monoclonal antifactor IX antibody-linked agarose. Canine factor IX has an apparent molecular size of 61 kDa, which is
The long term objective of this study is to immunodeplete rabbits of factor IX as a means of developing a rabbit model for hemophilia B for use in studies of tissue factor-dependent blood coagulation. As a first step, we have purified rabbit factor IX by basically two different methods: (1)
Factor IX is the zymogen of the serine protease factor IXa involved in blood coagulation. In addition to a catalytic domain homologous to the chymotrypsin family, it has Ca2+, phospholipid, and factor VIIIa binding regions needed for full biologic activity. We isolated a nonfunctional factor IX
Adeno-associated virus (AAV) gene transfer is a promising treatment for genetic abnormalities. Optimal AAV vectors are showing success in clinical trials. Gene transfer to skeletal muscle and liver is being explored as a potential therapy for some conditions, that is, α1-antitrypsin (AAT) disorder
Human Factor IX (Christmas factor) was isolated from the plasma of a patient with mild hemophilia B. The patient's plasma contained 5% Factor IX clotting activity but 100% Factor IX antigenic activity as determined by immunological assays, which included inhibitor neutralization and a
