Quantitation of factor VII in the plasma of normal and warfarin-treated individuals by radioimmunoassay.
نویسنده
چکیده
Highly purified single-chain factor VII was isolated from plasma and used to generate monospecific antibodies. A double-antibody equilibrium radioimmunoassay was constructed. The assay was tested for and met all the criteria required for a specific, sensitive, and accurate determination of factor VII in plasma. The range of sensitivity of the assay was between 1 and 500 ng factor VII/ml, and the coefficient of variation was 1%-3% within assay and 12%-16% between assays. Pure factor VII and plasmic factor VII from normal, warfarin-treated, and hereditary deficient individuals inhibited competition assays with parallel slopes, indicating the expression of similar epitopes by these molecules and validating the measurement of this protein in plasma. The concentration of factor VII in normal plasma (n = 41) was 470 +/- 112 ng/ml, and the measurement of factor VII antigen correlated with activity (r = 0.82). Factor VII concentration in the plasma of individuals on warfarin therapy (n = 24) was 238 +/- 73 ng/ml. Factor VII activity was about 38% of normal and correlated less well with factor VII antigen (r = 0.53). The specific activity of these molecules was 78% of normal (p less than 0.01), suggesting the presence of nonfunctional or partially functional molecules in the circulation of individuals undergoing drug therapy. Analysis of two hereditary deficient patients revealed that, while there were significant levels of factor VII protein, the procoagulant activity was less than 2%, indicating a discordant relationship of these parameters in individuals expressing the deficient factor VII phenotype.

متن کاملFactor IX antigen by radioimmunoassay. Abnormal factor IX protein in patients on warfarin therapy and with hemophilia B.
Factor IX, isolated from normal human plasma, was homogenous by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis in urea and sodium dodecyl sulfate. On the latter, it migrated as a single polypeptide chain with or without reducing agents and had an apparent mol wt of 62,000. After iodination by chloramine-T, a single peak of 125I was found on gels. Immunoelectrophoresis in agarose with rabbit antifactor IX s...

Several murine monoclonal anti-human Factor VII antibodies were produced using hybridoma technology. Two noncompetitive monoclonal antibodies were used to examine by Western blotting the Factor VII cross-reactive material (CRM) in normal human plasma and three commercially available congenitally Factor VIIdeficient plasmas, and to construct a facile "sandwich" immunoassay for plasma Factor VII....

We have evaluated the contribution of depression of individual procoagulant vitamin K-dependent clotting factors to the ability of warfarin to protect rabbits against tissue factor-induced coagulation. Mean activities of individual procoagulant factors were determined, in assays with rabbit substrates, for a group of rabbits achieving a protective degree of anticoagulation with warfarin. Values...

Background: During extrinsic coagulation pathway, a complex is developed between factor VII, calcium and tissue factor (a cell membrane lipoprotein that is exposed after cell injury). Factor VII needs calcium and vitamin K for its biologic activation. Coronary artery disease can be induced by increased level and activity of the coagulation factors VII, VIII and IX. In postmenopausal period, est...
