that has 2,332 amino acids. It is produced by recombinant DNA
technology in baby hamster kidney
cells (BHK) into which the human factor VIII gene has been introduced.
Kovaltry is prepared without
the addition of any human or animal derived protein in the cell
culture process, purification or final
formulation.
