Abstract

The present invention relates to a factor VII composition having a substantially homogeneous isoelectric point and to a method for formulating such a composition. The present invention also relates to the therapeutic use of a factor VII composition having a substantially homogeneous isoelectric point.

Claims (24)

1. A method of making a composition comprising factor VII molecules having a substantially homogeneous isoelectric point, said method comprising:

(a) inserting a DNA sequence comprising a gene encoding for factor VII in an embryonic non-human mammal, said gene being under the transcriptional control of a beta-casein promoter,

(b) transferring the embryos obtained in step a) into an oviduct of a female non-human mammal so that it develops into an adult mammal,

(c) inducing lactation in the adult non-human mammal obtained in step b) of the female type or in a female descendant of the non-human mammal wherein the gene and the promoter are present in its genome,

(d) collecting milk of the lactating non-human mammal, and

wherein the female non-human mammal is a rabbit,

wherein among all N-glycan forms of the factor VII molecules, between 70% and 80% of the N-glycan forms are monocharged and between 15% and 25% of the N-glycan forms are bicharged,

wherein at least 80% of the factor VII molecules have γcarboxylation on 9 residues of glutamic acid, and

wherein the factor VII originated from transgenic rabbits produced by microinjection of an expression vector comprising a beta-globin insulating sequence from chicken, a control region of goat beta-casein at 5′, an optimized cDNA sequence for expression in mammal cells coding for human FVII, a non-translated region of beta-casein at 3′

(e) purifying factor VII present in the collected milk.

2. A method for formulating a composition of activated factor VII, said method comprising mixing a composition of activated factor VII with a buffer solution, adjusting the pH if required, filtering, and then drying if necessary to obtain a solid form,

wherein the composition of activated factor VII comprises factor VII molecules, wherein among all N-glycan forms of the factor VII molecules, between 70% and 80% of the N-glycan forms are monocharged and between 15% and 25% of the N-glycan forms are bicharged,

wherein at least 80% of the factor VII molecules have γcarboxylation on 9 residues of glutamic acid, and

wherein the factor VII originated from transgenic rabbits produced by microinjection of an expression vector comprising a beta-globin insulating sequence from chicken, a control region of goat beta-casein at 5′, an optimized cDNA sequence for expression in mammal cells coding for human FVII, and a non-translated region of beta-casein at 3′.

3. The method of claim 2 , wherein the steps for mixing the composition of the activated factor VII with a buffer solution is applied in gel filtration chromatography.

4. The method of claim 2 , further comprising freeze drying the formulated factor VII composition.

5. The method according to claim 2 , wherein the buffer solution comprises one or more of:

a) a salt;

b) an amino acid, a hydrophilic amino acid salt, or a hydrophobic amino acid salt.

6. The method according to claim 5 , wherein the salt is a citrate salt.

7. The method according to claim 6 , wherein the citrate salt is trisodium citrate.

8. The method according to claim 5 , wherein the hydrophilic amino acid salt is arginine hydrochloride and/or lysine hydrochloride.

9. The method according to claim 5 , wherein the amino acid is a hydrophobic amino acid.

10. The method according to claim 9 , wherein the hydrophobic amino acid is isoleucine and/or glycine.
