Abstract
Introduction
An investigation of the suitability of reagents for measuring FVIII products in a one-stage clotting assay (OSA) showed variations in their FVIII activity (FVIII:C). Most studies have focused on the activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT) reagent rather than FVIII-deficient plasma (F8DP), even though the APTT-based OSA is comprised of APTT reagents and factor-deficient plasma.
Aim
A single-centre study was conducted to clarify variations in measurements of FVIII products in an OSA using a total of 12 reagent combinations, including four APTT reagents and three types of F8DP.
Methods
FVIII:C in nine types of FVIII product-spiked plasma was measured using an OSA with four different APTT reagents and three types of F8DP.
Results
F8DP-dependent variations were found in addition to differences derived from APTT reagents. Variations in target recovery (TR) were observed for NovoEight®, Eloctate®, and Jivi®. Reduced TR for Jivi was found only for Pathromtin SL in combination with congenital F8DP (F8DP-3). This lower TR was not observed with alternative manufacturing lots of F8DP-3. The reduced TR for Jivi might be related to impaired contact activation due to lower factor XI activity in F8DP-3.
Conclusion
In addition to APTT reagents, variations in F8DPs used for OSAs can also affect FVIII:C results. F8DPs as well as the APTT reagent used for OSA should be chosen with caution, and laboratories should evaluate reagents for F8DPs as they currently do for APTT reagents, especially when lot changes occur.
期刊介绍:
The International Journal of Laboratory Hematology provides a forum for the communication of new developments, research topics and the practice of laboratory haematology.
The journal publishes invited reviews, full length original articles, and correspondence.
The International Journal of Laboratory Hematology is the official journal of the International Society for Laboratory Hematology, which addresses the following sub-disciplines: cellular analysis, flow cytometry, haemostasis and thrombosis, molecular diagnostics, haematology informatics, haemoglobinopathies, point of care testing, standards and guidelines.
The journal was launched in 2006 as the successor to Clinical and Laboratory Hematology, which was first published in 1979. An active and positive editorial policy ensures that work of a high scientific standard is reported, in order to bridge the gap between practical and academic aspects of laboratory haematology.
