  1. Mean values and standard deviations are shown for finally characterized clones obtained by limited dilution cloning. rFVII secreted into cell-culture supernatants was determined using a PT clotting assay, and the amount of pre-activated rFVIIa by STA-clot FVIIa-rTF assay. Supernatants were harvested after 24-h secretion into medium not containing FBS (see Methods)
