Using the techniques of molecular biology, we made a chimeric Factor IX by replacing the first epidermal growth factor-like domain with that of Factor VII. The resulting recombinant chimeric molecule, Factor IXVIIEGF1, had at least a twofold increase in functional activity in the one-stage clotting assay when compared to recombinant wild-type Factor IX. The increased activity was not due to contamination with activated Factor IX, nor was it due to an increased rate of activation by Factor VIIa-tissue factor or by Factor XIa. Rather, the increased activity was due to a higher affinity of Factor IXVIIEGF1 for Factor VIIIa with a Kd for Factor VIIIa about one order of magnitude lower than that of recombinant wild-type Factor IXa. In addition, results from animal studies show that this chimeric Factor IX, when infused into a dog with hemophilia B, exhibits a greater than threefold increase in clotting activity, and has a biological half-life equivalent to recombinant wild-type Factor IX.
利用分子生物学技术,我们通过将第一个表皮生长因子样结构域替换为因子VII的结构域,制备了一种嵌合因子IX。所得的重组嵌合分子,即因子IXVIIEGF1,在一期凝血试验中的功能活性与重组野生型因子IX相比至少增加了两倍。活性增加并非由于被活化的因子IX污染,也不是由于因子VIIa-组织因子或因子XIa激活速率增加所致。相反,活性增加是由于因子IXVIIEGF1对因子VIIIa具有更高的亲和力,其对因子VIIIa的解离常数(Kd)比重组野生型因子IXa低约一个数量级。此外,动物研究结果表明,这种嵌合因子IX注入患血友病B的狗体内时,凝血活性增加超过三倍,并且其生物半衰期与重组野生型因子IX相当。
