Abstract

The invention discloses the stabilizer of thrombin solution, thrombin solution and relevant detection reagent, prepare the method for stable thrombin solution and the purposes of the stabilizer of thrombin solution.

Description

The stabilizer of thrombin solution
Technical field
The present invention relates to enzyme industrial circle and field of immunodetection, relate in particular to thrombin solution stabilizer, Thrombin solution and relevant detection reagent prepare the stable method of thrombin solution and the stabilizer of thrombin solution Purposes.
Background technology
Fibrinogen (Fibrinogen, FIB) is the fibrinous precursor of the main protein as blood clot Matter is generated by hepatic parenchymal cells.About 80% of fibrinogen in organism is distributed in blood plasma (in normal adult about 200~400mg/dL), remaining is distributed in tissue.Fibrinogen be containing through disulfide-bonded 3 pairs of polypeptides (A α, B β and γ) the glycoprotein of chain, A α, B β chains are decomposed to form fibrin by fibrin ferment, so as to play thrombus generation, hemostasis blood The main function of bolt.Clinically, increase in inflammation, reduced in hepatosis, DIC in height etc..
The clinical meaning of fibrinogen assay includes but not limited to:1. pathologic increases:(1) prethrombotic state and thrombus Property disease when, body coagulation function enhancing, plasma fibrinogen increases, such as acute myocardial infarction, diabetes, the hypertension of pregnancy Disease, atherosclerosis, malignant tumour etc..(2) albumen synthesis increases, such as connective tissue disease, Huppert's disease.(3) it is anti- Answering property increases, such as after acute infection, acute nephritis, burn, shock, major operation.2. pathologic reduces:(1) consumption is excessive, leads Plasma content is caused to reduce, such as DIC.(2) Fibrinolytic Activities enhance, and FIB is decomposed, such as primary hyperfibrinolysis disease.(3) Synthesis is reduced, such as serious hepatitis, hepatic sclerosis.
The measuring method of fibrinogen includes fibrin ferment additive process (Clauss methods), Clotting-time method (PT algorithms), exempts from Epidemic disease turbidimetry (TIA), emulsion technique etc. generally use fibrin ferment additive process.
Under fibrin ferment additive process, the content of fibrinogen ultimately forms fibre according to fibrinogen and thrombin action The principle of fibrillarin measures, and standard curve is made by reference blood plasma of international standard substance, with fibrin ferment come when measuring the clotting of plasma Between, i.e., thrombin time (Thrombin Time, TT), gained plasma coagulation time are in negative with fibrinogen concentration in blood plasma Correlation, so as to obtain the content of fibrinogen.
Specifically, thrombin time refers to add in the time of the clotting of plasma after the factor of standardization in blood plasma. Under thrombin action, the fibrinogen in blood plasma to be checked is changed into fibrin.When anticoagulant substances in blood plasma to be checked When increasing, thrombin time extends.When blood plasma to be checked is in situations such as acid, test object is with abnormal fibrous proteinemia Under, thrombin time shortens.
For example, thrombin time extension sees plasma fibrinogen attenuating or textural anomaly;Clinical practice heparin or Heparin sample anticoagulant substances when hepatopathy, nephrosis and systemic loupus erythematosus increase;Fibrinolytic system function is hyperfunction.
The fibrin ferment used in fibrinogen assay cuts peptide from the factor as its precursor and forms tool There is α-fibrin ferment of coagulation activity.Known this α-fibrin ferment understands selfdecomposition into the β without coagulation activity of low molecular weight-is solidifying Hemase, and then γ-fibrin ferment is resolved into, when preserving for a long time, usually it is freeze-dried.
For measuring the reagent of fibrinogen (FIB) content or thrombin time (TT), existing reagent is Freeze-dried reagent in addition to expensive, in use, is required to redissolve, inconvenient to use, and will necessarily bring and redissolve Volumetric errors are caused in journey, result is caused deviation occur.And this problem is not present in liquid reagent, and easy to use, that is, opens It uses, difference between batch smaller, it is as a result more accurate.Therefore urgently need to develop the stabilizer that can stablize thrombin solution and Stable thrombin solution product.
