This invention relates to transgenically produced human Antithrombin III (tgATIII).
The human ATIII produced by the transgenic process of the present invention has
a monosaccharide composition which comprises N-acetylgalactosamine (GalNAc) along
with fucose, N-acetylglucosamine, galactose, mannose, and N-acetylneuraminic acid/N-glycolyneuraminic
acid. The monosaccharide composition differs with that of plasma derived ATIII
(phATIII). It has been found that tgATIII has an increased clearance rate when
compared to phATIII.
