Definitions
- This invention relates to a new discovery in medical diagnosis, specifically in the field of laboratory diagnosis of coagulation disorders, and more particularly, in substances and methods useful therein and relating thereto.
- BLOOD THOMBOPLASTIN Platelets blood cells of a certain type release one or more platelet factors as a result of physical contact with the surface of the glass test tube.
- the platelet factor reacts with several coagulation factors present in normal blood, comprising anti-hemophilia globulin, plasma thromboplastic antecedent, plasma thromboplastic component, Stuart-Prower factor, Hageman factor (which is also activated by the glass surface), calcium ions, and perhaps other unknown factors to produce blood thromboplastin.
- Plasma thromboplastic antecedent plus Plasma thromboplastic component, plus Stuart-Prower factor, plus Hageman factor (surface activation), plus Antihemophilia globulin, plus Calcium ions
- Plasma thromboplastin 3,486,981 Patented Dec. 30, 1969 CURRENT THEORYCONVERSION OF PROTHROMBIN Blood thromboplastin, in the presence of other factors, comprising Stuart-Prower factor, proaccelerin, and calcium ions, converts prothrombin to thrombin.
- Prothrombin Blood thromboplastin plus Stuart-Prower factor, plus Proaccelerin, plus Calcium ions Thrombin CURRENT THEORY-PRODUCTION OF GEL (CLOT) Thrombin reacts with the soluble plasma protein, fibrinogen, and converts it to the insoluble fibrin in the form of a gel.
- Fibrinogen Thrombin Fibrin INTRINSIC COAGULATION-TIME AND OTHE FACTORS This intrinsic system is a relatively slow reaction. The time required for the reaction to go to completion depends on several conditions, such as temperature, concentration of coagulation factors, and degree of physical surface activation.
- Prothrombin Tissue thromboplastin plus Proconvertin, plus Proaccelerin, plus Stuart-Prower factor, plus Calcium ions Thrombin CURRENT THEORYPRODUCTION OF GEL (CLOT) Thrombin reacts with fibrinogen, and converts it to the insoluble fibrin.
- CLOT Calcium ions Thrombin CURRENT THEORYPRODUCTION OF GEL
- Fi'brino gen Thrombin Fibrin 3 EXTRINSIC COAGULATION-TIME AND OTHER FACTORS, AND COMPARISON TO INTRINSIC SYSTEM The extrinsic system of coagulation is relatively rapid (10-15 seconds), in contrast to the intrinsic system of coagulation (4-5 minutes). There are some other basic differences. Blood thromboplastin does not require proconvertin for its activity in conversion of prothrombin to thrombin, whereas, tissue thromboplastin does. Surface activation has a dramatic effect on the intrinsic system, but only a minor one on the extrinsic system.

United States Patent O SUBSTANCES RELATING TO TESTING OF BLOOD-COAGULATION Roy E. Speck, 109 Brunswick Drive, Greenwood, Ind. 46142 No Drawing. Filed Mar. 15, 1965, Ser. No. 439,941 Int. Cl. C12k 1/10; G01u 33/16 US. Cl. 19599 13 Claims ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE A partial thromboplastin time test reagent and a multifactor coagulation reagent, having a chemical activator, the reagents providing good stability, high sensitivity, and a more reproducible and accurate evaluation of a patients coagulability state. Hageman factor is maximally activated in a constant manner, yielding precision and reliability of test results. The multi-factor coagulation reagent is sensitive to both the intrinsic and extrinsic coagulation systems, advantageously permitting both systems to be tested in a single diagnostic procedure.
This invention relates to a new discovery in medical diagnosis, specifically in the field of laboratory diagnosis of coagulation disorders, and more particularly, in substances and methods useful therein and relating thereto.
CURRENT BLOOD COAGULATION THEORY-INTRINSIC TYPE For purpose of clarification and background, a brief description of the current coagulation theory is presented introductorily, as now set forth.
If blood from a persons vein is placed in a glass testtube and observed, it is seen, after a certain length of time, that the blood changes from fluid to a gel. This is the process of coagulation of the so-called intrinsic type. It is termed intrinsic for the reason that all of the coagulation factors involved in the reaction are of intravascular origin. As explained below, the process occurs, basically, in a three-step reaction: (1) formation of blood thromboplastin, (2) conversion of rothrombin, (3) production of gel (clot).
CURRENT THEORYFORMATION OF BLOOD THOMBOPLASTIN Platelets (blood cells of a certain type) release one or more platelet factors as a result of physical contact with the surface of the glass test tube. The platelet factor reacts with several coagulation factors present in normal blood, comprising anti-hemophilia globulin, plasma thromboplastic antecedent, plasma thromboplastic component, Stuart-Prower factor, Hageman factor (which is also activated by the glass surface), calcium ions, and perhaps other unknown factors to produce blood thromboplastin.
Diagrammatically, this might be shown as follows:
Platelet factor, :plus
Plasma thromboplastic antecedent, plus Plasma thromboplastic component, plus Stuart-Prower factor, plus Hageman factor (surface activation), plus Antihemophilia globulin, plus Calcium ions Blood thromboplastin 3,486,981 Patented Dec. 30, 1969 CURRENT THEORYCONVERSION OF PROTHROMBIN Blood thromboplastin, in the presence of other factors, comprising Stuart-Prower factor, proaccelerin, and calcium ions, converts prothrombin to thrombin.
Prothrombin Blood thromboplastin, plus Stuart-Prower factor, plus Proaccelerin, plus Calcium ions Thrombin CURRENT THEORY-PRODUCTION OF GEL (CLOT) Thrombin reacts with the soluble plasma protein, fibrinogen, and converts it to the insoluble fibrin in the form of a gel.
Fibrinogen Thrombin Fibrin INTRINSIC COAGULATION-TIME AND OTHE FACTORS This intrinsic system is a relatively slow reaction. The time required for the reaction to go to completion depends on several conditions, such as temperature, concentration of coagulation factors, and degree of physical surface activation.
CURRENT BLOOD COAGULATION THEORY--EXTRINSIC TYPE CURRENT THEORY-CONVERSION OF PROTHROMBIN Tissue thromboplastin in the presence of Stuart-Prower factor, proaccelerin, proconvertin, and calcium ions, converts prothrombin to thrombin.
Prothrombin Tissue thromboplastin, plus Proconvertin, plus Proaccelerin, plus Stuart-Prower factor, plus Calcium ions Thrombin CURRENT THEORYPRODUCTION OF GEL (CLOT) Thrombin reacts with fibrinogen, and converts it to the insoluble fibrin.
Fi'brino gen Thrombin Fibrin 3 EXTRINSIC COAGULATION-TIME AND OTHER FACTORS, AND COMPARISON TO INTRINSIC SYSTEM The extrinsic system of coagulation is relatively rapid (10-15 seconds), in contrast to the intrinsic system of coagulation (4-5 minutes). There are some other basic differences. Blood thromboplastin does not require proconvertin for its activity in conversion of prothrombin to thrombin, whereas, tissue thromboplastin does. Surface activation has a dramatic effect on the intrinsic system, but only a minor one on the extrinsic system.
CHEMICAL ACTIVATION OF HAGEMAN FACTOR The new discovery mentioned in the first paragraph involves, as one thing, the chemical activation of Hageman factor. This process, to be described below, makes it possible to improve certain laboratory tests for the assessing of the activity of certain coagulation factors of blood. This chemical activation of Hageman factor includes the following procedures and components:
(1) Use of ellagic acid, or one of its related compounds or derivatives of these compounds, in the partial thromboplastin time test;
(2) Process for preparing a stable solution of the chemical activator;
(3) Preparation of a reagent consisting of a platelet substitute and the chemical activator; and its use as a blood test for testing coagulation factors; and
(4) Preparation of a reagent consisting of a platelet substitute, chemical activator, and tissue thromboplastin; and its use as a blood test for testing coagulation factors.
THE USE OF ELLAGIC ACID, OR ONE OF ITS RELATED COMPOUNDS OR ONE OF THE DERIVATIVES OF THESE COMPOUNDS, IN THE PARTIAL THROMBOPLASTIN TIME TEST 'PTT TESTCOAGULATION DEFICIENCIES The partial thromboplastin time test (PTT) is a laboratory test used to screen for coagulation disorders.
It detects deficiencies in the following coagulation factors:
It does not detect deficiencies of the following coagulation factors:
(1) Platelets;
(2) Proconvertin;
(3) Calcium; or
(4) Fibrin stabilizing factor.

Plasma thromboplastic antecedent; Plasma thromboplastic component; Anti-hemophilia globulin; Prothrombin;
Proaccelerin; and
Fibrinogen.
The test will also detect the presence of circulatmg anti-coagulants, such as anti-thromboplastin and antithrombin,
4 PT TESTGENERAL NATURE The PTT test is an in vitro simulation of the intrinsic system of coagulation. The basic reagent is a platelet substitute in optimum concentration. A platelet substitute is used because of the technical difficulty of preparing a standard platelet suspension.
PTT TESTORIGINAL VERSION The PTT test of Langdell, Wagner, and Brinhous (J. Lab. and Clin. Med., vol. 41, page 637, 1953) is performed in the following manner: The platelet substitute is mixed with oxalated or citrated plasma. To this is added suflicient calcium in solution to neutralize the anti-coagulant and to provide an optimal concentration of calcium ions for the coagulation reaction. The test is performed at 37 C. The time required for the formation of a clot is determined. In case of an abnormality, the time is prolonged. The normal range for the original procedure is 40 to seconds.
PTT TEST-DEFECTS OR DIFFICULTIES OF ORIGINAL VERSION The main defect of the above procedure lies in the fact that glass is an unreliable physical activator of Hageman factor. It neither activates maximally nor consistently. Even the manner in which glass is washed influences the degree to which it will activate Hageman factor. Reproducibility is thus poor.
PTT TESTS-ASUBSEQUENT MODIFICATIONS Attempts have been made to remedy this unreliability by utilizing insoluble activators, such as kaolin, celite, bentonite, and others. These activators do activate maximally, but the cencentration of the activator is critical. If there is not enough activator, maximal activation does not occur. If too much activator is used, absorption of Hageman factor, and perhaps other factors, occurs, resulting in loss of activity.
Furthermore, the time of maximum activity is critical and of short duration, so that the test must be performed at an accurately timed interval of activation.
The normal range for the procedure utilizing koalin or celite is 35 to 45 seconds. This version of the PTT test increased the sensitivity of the test, mainly due to the increased reproducibility of results. However, there are still disadvantages, as mentioned above, particularly with respect to time of activation and concentration of the activator.
PTT TESTCHEMICAL ACTIVATION These disadvantages have been overcome according to the present invention, by the introduction of a chemical activator of Hageman factor. Using a solution of ellagic acid, activation was rapid, less than one minute. Also, the activation was stable. The plasma remains fully activated for as long as 60 minutes. Ellagic acid was used with three commercial partial thromboplastins in separate tests: Cephaloplastin (Dade), Platelin (Warner-Chilcott), and Thrombofax (Ortho). Equivalent results were obtained with each. The normal range was 32. to 38 seconds. The standard deviation was 0.5 second, and represents superior precision. The short normal range represents increased sensitivity to coagulation defects.
PREPARATION OF STABLE SOLUTION OF CHEMICAL ACTIVATOR Ellagic acid was reagent prepared according to Ratnoff and Crum (J. of Lab. and Clin. Med., vol. 63, pages 359377, 1964), but it was not stable, and it precipitated after standing a few days. This was remedied according to the present invention by converting the ellagic acid to its sodium salt, by adding sodium hydroxide, this reaction, it is believed, being as follows:
HO OH 4NaOH :1
Ellagic Acid Sodium Ellagate This was followed by filtration. The resulting solution retained the full activity of the ellagic acid.
COMBINING PARTIAL THROMBOPLASTIN AND A SALT OF ELLAGIC ACID IN A SINGLE REAGENT Utilizing the previous principles, the sodium salt of ellagic acid and partial thromboplastin may be prepared in a single reagent; and each component is found to have no deleterious elfect on the other over an extended time. This reagent functions identically as do the components when used separately.
COMBINING PARTIAL THROMBOPLASTIN, OF A SALT ELLAGIC ACID, AND TISSUE THROMBO PLASTIN IN A SINGLE REAGENT In order to make a reagent sensitive to both the intrinsic and extrinsic systems, tissue thromboplastin was incorporated in the above reagent, at a concentration set forth and discussed hereinbelow.

(4) Filter through a 5.0, pore millipore filter.
(III) Preparation of stable ellagic acid solution (ammonium salt) (1) 0.034 gm. (10 mole) ellagic acid is weighed on analytical balance and transferred to a 50 ml. beaker.

This sensitivity to all factors (except platelets) of both intrinsic and extrinsic coagulation systems is a sensitivity far greater than merely a sensitivity to plasma thromboplastic component, Stewart-Prower factor, proconvertin, and prothrombin, as in the Thrombotest of Owren (Saertrykk av Farmakoterapi nr. 4, vol. XV, 1959. Utgiver: Nyegaard & Co. A/S, Oslo).
The amount of tissue thromboplastin used is that quantity that gives clotting times intermediate between the one-stage Prothrombin Time (Quick, A.J.: The Hemorrhagic Diseases and the Physiology of Hemostasis, p. 312. Charles C. Thomas, Springfield, Ill., 1942) and the Partial thromboplastin time, a desired mixture being in the range of 1% to 16% as shown in Chart IX.
