Abstract

Two batches of lyophilized normal pooled HEPES-stabilized plasma according to ZUCKER [11] and LOELIGER [7] were prepared. The F VIII activity established by the activated partial thromboplastin test (APTT-VIII) was identical in both plasmas and amounted to 0.99 U/ml (95% confidence limits 0.87 to 1.17 U/ml). It did not change within 11 months in plasmas according to ZUCKER, and 6 months in those according to LOELIGER (further on not followed). We prepared four batches of lyophilized HERPES-stabilized substrate plasma (severe form of hemophilia A) according to ZUCKER. They were employed for 5 to 13 months in APTT-VIII along with the frozen 3.2% sodium citrate substrate plasmas. The results showed a satisfactory agreement. The lyophilized plasmas did not influence even the dose-response-line. On the ground of these results we consider the reported lyophilized plasmas to be suitable reagents in APTT-VIII technique.

Blood Clotting Disorders

Thrombophilia includes conditions with increased tendency for excessive blood clotting. Blood clotting occurs when the body has insufficient amounts of specialized proteins that make blood clot and stop bleeding. Here is the latest research on blood clotting disorders.
