FIELD: biotechnology, proteins. SUBSTANCE: method involves incubation of activated protein C in salt solution at low pH values, from about 6.3 to about 6.5. Autodegradation of activated protein C can be minimized by incubation of activated protein C in 3 M urea also. Complete isolation of activity of activated protein C can be obtained after removal of denaturating agent or by incubation of activated protein C in the presence of extreme salt concentrations. Invention relates to stabilized composition of activated protein C that supports activated protein C at low pH values, in denaturating agent or at extreme salt concentrations. Invention provides minimal autodegradation of activated protein C. EFFECT: improved method of minimal degradation. 17 cl, 4 tbl, 4 ex
