Relationship of F.IX specific activity to circulating F.IX levels in transgenic mice


Transgenic line

Circulating F.IX levels in mice, ng/mL

Activity, U/mL*

Specific activity, U/mg
WT, less than 10 μg/mL   4309 ± 1821   1.40 ± 0.58   341.00 ± 101.82  
WT, greater than 10 μg/mL
 
17 238 ± 9759
 
3.77 ± 2.76
 
208.00 ± 51.84

hF.IX activity is determined in an aPTT assay on plasma from the transgenic mice, and hF.IX antigen levels are determined by ELISA.

*

As determined by one-stage aPTT assay.

Specific activity of hF.IX in murine (F.IX-deficient plasma, 470 ± 150 U/mg protein) determined as described in “Analysis of hF.IX protein.”
