Potential Application of Recombinant Snake Prothrombin Activator Ecarin in Blood Diagnostics

We describe here the purification and cloning of a codon-optimized form of the snake prothrombin activator ecarin from the saw scaled viper (<i>Echis carinatus</i>) expressed in mammalian cells. Expression of recombinant ecarin (rEcarin) was carried out in human embryonic kidney cells (H...
