Abstract

A method is disclosed for concentrating and purifying antihemophilic factor (AHF or Factor VIII), a cryoprecipitate is collected from frozen human plasma and cold washed with pyrogen-free distilled water or water saline. The washed cryoprecipitate is extracted with pyrogen-free distilled water, the prothrombin complex is removed and the fibrinogen is precipitated. The remaining purified solution is ultrafiltered to form a highly concentrated Factor VIII solution.
