English term or phrase: AF-CC
In the expression "Moroctocog alfa [AF-CC]", what does AF CC stand for? I assume "AF" means "antihemophilic factor" but what does CC mean? Could CC stand for "recombinant" (and if so, can you prove it)?

Notes to answerer
Asker: Yes, that seems highly likely. By the way, my source text is not in English and its author used "AF-KK" and I suspect that the author just blindly assumed that "CC" would be "KK" in his language, but there is no way that KK can be an abbreviation for "cell culture" in my text's source language, so it's likely a source text error that I have to tell the client about.
