|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| hPC | - | 7.4±0.3 | ND | 87 | 99 |
| tg-PC | 1000~1600 | 4.9±0.2 | ND | 12 | 99 |

The concentration of PC samples was obtained by measuring OD280nm using an extinction coefficient of 1.45 ml/mg-cm [1].
The molar ratio of Neu5Ac to Protein C was calculated from RP-HPLC analysis of sialic acid (run in triplicate).
The percentages were obtained from NP-HPLC profiles.
ND: not detectable
