Abstract

A heparin preparation which exhibits elevated anticoagulant activity and a process for producing the preparation. Conventional heparin exhibiting characteristic anticoagulant activity and molecular heterogeneity is incubated with antithrombin-heparin cofactor extracted from plasma. A portion of the heparin forms a complex with the cofactor. The uncomplexed heparin fraction is then separated from the complexed fraction, and the complexed fraction is broken down to produce cofactor and an active form of heparin.
