Optimization of a mechanized amidolytic factor-X assay; influence of reaction conditions and reagents.

چکیده
We describe the effect of pH and NaCl concentration on the activation of factor X in plasma by Russell's viper venom and on the amidolytic activity of the activated enzyme towards factor Xa-sensitive chromogenic substrates. An increasing NaCl concentration results in a decrease in the activation rate of factor X by Russell's viper venom, whereas in this step no pH effect is observed. Increasing NaCl concentrations decrease the Km and Vmax for both the factor Xa-sensitive chromogenic substrates, S 2222 and S 2337. Km values were lowest between pH 7.8 and 8.6; Vmax increased with increasing pH. Comparison of NaCl and KCl in the activation step as well as in the amidolytic step shows that the observed effect is specific for Na+, not just an effect of ionic strength. No difference was detected between activation by the crude venom or its purified factor X-activating enzyme. Also, values with the substrates S 2222 or S 2337 were the same in the mechanized amidolytic factor X assay.

Comparison of factor deficient plasmas for measuring Factor VIII and IX
Introduction Factor dosages are part of the diagnostic work up in patients with bleeding tendency (factor (F) VIII and FIX) or in thrombophilia screening (FVIII). The correct diagnosis of FVIII and FIX deficiency and the assessment of severity of the disease are essential for a patient-tailored treatment strategy. Persistently high levels of FVIII are regarded as a thrombophilia risk marker. FV...

متن کاملAmidolytic assay of human factor XI in plasma: comparison with a coagulant assay and a new rapid radioimmunoassay.
The traditional coagulant assay for plasma factor XI suffers from a relatively high coefficient of variation, the need for rare congenitally deficient plasma, and a poor correlation between precision and sensitivity. We have developed a simple functional amidolytic assay for factor XI in plasma using the chromogenic substrate PyrGlu-Pro-Arg-p-nitroanilide (S-2366). After inactivation of alpha 1...
متن کاملCoupled amidolytic assay for factor VII: its use with a clotting assay to determine the activity state of factor VII.
A coupled amidolytic assay for factor VII (VII) has been developed that when used with a clotting assay for VII enables detection of activated VII. In the assay, VII in a test material determines generation of factor Xa in a mixture of purified factor X, tissue factor, and calcium; factor Xa is measured with a chromogenic substrate. Factor VII activity in the coupled amidolytic assay (VIIam) co...

Two simple visible spectrophotometric methods are developed and validated for the quantification of modafinil using 1,2-naphthoquinone-4-sulphonic acid (NQS method) and 2,4-dinitrophenol (DNP method) as analytical reagents. The NQS method involves the reaction of modafinil with 1,2-naphthoquinone-4-sulphonate in alkaline medium at room conditions to form a yellow colored product exhibiting maxi...
