Abstract:
1. A method for producing a therapeutically active protein in a two-container system, comprising: withdrawing blood from a mammal into a first container of the two-container system; injecting the blood from the first container into a second container of the two-container system, wherein the second container is a dual port centrifuge tube, the second container defining a longitudinal axis and comprising a cap having dual ports, a first port for injecting blood into the second container and a second port for removing serum from the second container, the second container containing beads or spheres, and wherein the blood is injected from the first container into the centrifuge tube through the first port of the dual port centrifuge tube; and incubating the dual port centrifuge tube for a sufficient time and at a sufficient temperature to produce a therapeutically active protein in the blood; centrifuging the dual port centrifuge tube to form a serum containing the therapeutically active protein; removing the serum from the dual port centrifuge tube through the second port of the dual the dual port centrifuge tube, wherein the serum contains the therapeutically active protein.
