Abstract: A streamlined method for purifying alpha-1-antitrypsin (AAT) from an AAT-containing protein mixture, such as a Cohn fraction IV precipitate, is provided. In the method of the invention, contaminating proteins are destabilized by cleavage of disulfide bonds with a reducing reagent, such as a dithiol, which does not affect AAT. The destabilized proteins are then preferentially adsorbed on a solid protein-adsorbing material, without the addition of a salt as a precipitant. Separation of the solid adsorbent from the solution leaves a purified AAT solution that is directly suitable for chromatographic purification, without the need for extensive desalting as in prior art processes. A process incorporating this method, which provides pharmaceutical grade AAT in high yield on a commercial scale, is also described.

Abstract: If a refractory metal core (RMC) is punched, the punching asymmetry may be reflected in an asymmetry of the cast article features cast by the punched features. The punched features may have a shear zone (62) and a fracture zone (64). The shear zone (62) of the RMC will cast a relatively narrow portion of a post near one end; whereas the fracture zone (64) will cast a relatively broader portion near the other end. The broader portion will also have a relatively shallow transition to the adjacent face of a slot-like passageway cast by the RMC. Where there is a stress asymmetry in the cast article in-use, the punching direction may be chosen so that the relatively broad portions of the post fall along the relatively higher stress face of the passageway.
