The present invention relates to a composition comprising factor VII or a factor VII-related polypeptide, and factor V or a factor V-related polypeptide, and the use thereof for treating bleeding episodes.

Method for screening for the presence of a genetic defect associated with thrombosis and/or poor anticoagulant response to activated protein C (APC). The method is directed at detecting one or more mutations at one or more of the cleavage and/or binding sites for APC of Factor V and/or Factor Va or at Factor VIII and/or Factor VIIIa at either nucleic acid or protein level or both.

Described are methods for preventing and/or treating bleeding in a subject with Factor XI deficiency, such as hemophilia C, which methods comprise administering to the subject APC-resistant Factor V.

The present invention relates to the use of coagulation proteins and complexes thereof with anticoagulation proteins for the lysis of blood clots or other applications affected by accelerated plasmin production. More specifically, the present invention provides a method for accelerating the dissolution of a blood clot through the administration of at least one coagulation protein, with or without being in complex with a serpin, comprising a basic C-terminal amino acid, wherein the coagulation protein may be a derivative of Factor X or Factor V or a combination thereof. Pharmaceutical compositions for the treatment and prophylaxis of blood clots are also provided, wherein, the methods and products of the present invention advantageously accelerate clot dissolution while potentially minimizing the adverse side-effects, such as hemorrhaging, seen with other clot dissolving agents. The present invention also provides a method for detecting a fibrinolytic potential in a subject.

Methods for predicting an individual's genetic risk for developing venous thrombosis in diverse ethnic populations is disclosed, as are arrays and kits which can be used to practice the method. The method includes screening for mutations, polymorphisms, or both, in at least eight venous thrombosis-related molecules, such as antithrombin III, protein C, protein S, fibrinogen, factor V, prothrombin (factor II), methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR), and angiotensin I-converting enzyme (ACE) molecules which are associated with venous thrombosis.

The invention relates to a stabilizing agent for preventing blood clotting factor reactive loss for prothrombin composite or blood clotting factor IX preparation during virus animatum eradication by dry heat, wherein the stabilizing agent is sucrose or / and arginine or its salt, it also can contain one or more of the conventional glycine, NaCl, citric acid trisodium and hamocura.

The present invention provides an in vitro method useful for the diagnosis of a thrombotic disorder in a subject, having or at risk of having the disorder. Specifically, the disorder exemplified herein is associated with APC resistant Factor V and Va. The clotting time of a test sample is analyzed in the presence and absence of APC and compared with a standard reference sample in order to diagnose the subject.

A process for determining a resistance to activated protein C of a test specimen of human plasma following the steps of: (1) mixing together (a) the test specimen of human plasma, (b) a reactant deficient in factor V which supplies at least most of the coagulation factors other than factor V, and (c) the venom of Crotalus viridis helleri which specifically activates factor X to Xa, and incubating the mixture of (a), (b) and (c) for at least one minute at a temperature of between 10 and 45° C.; (2) introducing into the incubated mixture(i) Ca2+ or (ii) Ca2++exogenic activated protein C; and (3) determining the coagulation time (i) in the absence of activated protein C and (ii) in the presence of activated protein C. Steps (1) to (3) are repeated, but replacing, in step (1), the test specimen with a normal plasma as control and correlating resistance to activated protein C by comparing the determinations made in steps for the test specimen and for the normal plasma. The initiation of coagulation is caused by activating factor X to Xa using the venom of Crotalus viridis helleri in the presence of (i) Ca2+ or (ii) Ca2++ exogenic activated protein C.

The present invention includes composition and methods of using a lipid nanodisk or nanotube composition comprising a lipid composition of phosphatidylserine and galactosylceramide and a membrane-bound Factor VIII protein, a membrane-bound Factor IX protein, a membrane-bound Factor VIII-Factor IX protein complex, or a membrane-bound Factor V-Factor X protein complex in or about the lipid nanodisks or nanotubes.

The present invention relates to novel inhibitors of Factors VIIa, IXa, Xa, XIa, in particular Factor VIIa, pharmaceutical compositions comprising these inhibitors, and methods for using these inhibitors for treating or preventing thromboembolic disorders, cancer or rheumatoid arthritis. Processes for preparing these inhibitors are also disclosed.

The present invention relates to a composition comprising factor VII or a factor VII-related polypeptide, and factor V or a factor V-related polypeptide, and the use thereof for treating bleeding episodes, such as for reducing clotting time, enhancing haemostasis or increasing the clot strength.

Factor V peptides and methods of use thereof are disclosed.

The present invention is one kind of natural cell growth regulating factor V and its preparation process. The preparation process includes screening Gram-positive coccus or bacillus and Gram-negative coccus or bacillus, freeze preserving coccus or bacillus strain, conventional culture of the coccus or bacillus strain at 4-38 deg.c, once filtering to eliminate harmful bacteria while leaving beneficial thallus segment, extracting natural gene, adding alanine into the natural gene, safety test, preparing into solution or powder, and sealing. The cell growth regulating factor V has the functions of stimulating and strengthening immunity, strengthening TC, repairing and reforming necrotic, degenerative, atrophic, fibrillated and calcified pancreatic histiocyte, regenerating capillary vessel, so that it can repair and reform gastric and duodenal mucous membrane tissues.
