Zusammenfassung:PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method for treatment of blood coagulation pathologies by pharmaceutical preparations containing Factor IXa.SOLUTION: The invention provides a method of treating bleeding disorders in a subject by administration of a preparation enriched for Factor IXa. The method includes a step of administering a pharmaceutical preparation containing at least 10% Factor IXa (mg/mg total protein). The Factor IXa can be produced by proteolytically activating recombinantly-produced Factor IX. The invention also provides a method for producing Factor IXa from a plasma fraction, which method results in a Factor IXa product containing little or no prekallikrein activity.
