Description

【0001】
【発明の属する技術分野】
本発明は臨床検査に用いられるプロトロンビン時間測定試薬及びプロトロンビン時間測定方法に関する
【0002】
【従来の技術】
血液凝固能検査の中でプロトロンビン時間測定(PT)は、血液凝固因子であるII、V、VII、X因子の活性を総合的に検査するものであり、凝固能検査のスクリーニング検査及び経口抗凝固薬の効果判定検査として広く実施されている。PTの測定は、組織因子又は組織因子を含むヒト又は動物由来の組織トロンボプラスチンと適当な濃度のカルシウムイオンが主成分である測定試薬に、被検血漿を加え、血液凝固時間を測定することにより行われる。試薬成分であるヒト又は動物由来の組織トロンボプラスチンは通常脳あるいは胎盤といった臓器から抽出される。抽出源となる臓器には血液凝固因子を含む血液成分が含まれている。このため、血液凝固因子を混在させないで組織トロンボプラスチンを抽出することは困難であり、血液凝固因子の活性を感度よく反映する試薬を調製することは困難であった。とりわけVII因子と組織トロンボプラスチンは複合体を形成するため、VII因子活性を感度よく反映する組織トロンボプラスチンを調製することが極めて困難であった。
【0003】
感度の良い組織因子又は組織トロンボプラスチンを含有する試薬を調製することはこの分野に携わる研究者の最大の課題であり、組織トロンボプラスチンを抽出、調製する方法が今までにも示されていたが(特許公告平3−39267、公表特許公告平3−503534、公開特許公告平成10−330400、米国特許3,983、004)、何れも実用的に満足の行くものではなかった。
【0004】
【解決しようとする課題】
本発明の課題は、血液凝固因子活性を感度良く測定できるプロトロンビン時間測定試薬を提供することである
【0005】
【解決する手段】
本発明者らは鋭意研究を重ねた結果、組織因子又は動物器官より抽出した組織トロンボプラスチンとニッケル化合物を混合させることにより、飛躍的に感度の良い試薬すなわち、WHO参照品と同等の感度を示すISI値が1.5以下であり、さらに、外因系凝固因子に対する感受性が高い試薬を調製できることを見出し本発明を完成させるに至った。また目標とするISI値は1.5以下に限定されるもので無く当業者が適宜目的に応じ設定可能である。その他条件についても同様に当業者が適宜目的に応じ設定可能である。
【0006】
本発明は、リン脂質、組織因子および水溶性のニッケル化合物を含有させることを特徴とするプロトロンビン時間測定試薬に関するものである。上記ニッケル化合物が塩化ニッケル、硝酸ニッケル又は酢酸ニッケルから選ばれる少なくとも1又は2以上の化合物を含有することを特徴とするプロトロンビン時間測定試薬に関するものである。上記化合物の濃度が0.1〜5.0mmol/Lであることを特徴とするプロトロンビン時間測定試薬に関するものである。上記プロトロンビン時間測定試薬を用いることを特徴とするプロトロンビン時間測定方法に関するものである
【0007】
組織因子は、ヒト又は動物由来の組織トロンボプラスチンに含まれており、さらに遺伝子組換えにより作成することもできる。組織因子の遺伝子組換えによる作成は、遺伝子組換えにより得られた組織因子タンパク質にリン脂質を加えることにより組織因子としての活性が発現される。また、組織トロンボプラスチンは一般にヒト胎盤又はウサギ或いは牛脳から抽出される。ウサギ脳を用いる場合には、ウサギ脳をアセトンで脱水したアセトン粉末を、適当な緩衝液で抽出される。牛脳もアセトン粉末から抽出したり、新鮮脳をミンチにして直接抽出することも有る。抽出した組織トロンボプラスチンは適当な濃度に調整されて、カルシウムイオン及び安定化、賦型剤等を添加して凍結乾燥されるのが一般的である。場合によっては、液状で保存されることもある。
【0008】
ニッケル化合物を添加する工程は特に限定されないが、上記の最終調製物また抽出液に含ませておくこともできる。添加する濃度は0.1〜5.0mmol/Lであり、とりわけ0.5〜3.0mmol/Lが好適である。添加するニッケル化合物の種類は特に限定されないが、塩化ニッケル、硝酸ニッケル等の無機化合物及び酢酸ニッケル等の有機ニッケル化合物等の中から選ばれる。
【0009】
【実施例】
以下に実施例を挙げて本発明を更に説明するが、本発明は実施例に限定されるものではない。

【実施例1】
ウサギ脳をアセトンで脱水したウサギ脳アセトン粉末3gを生理食塩水100mLに懸濁し、45℃で30分間撹拌した後、5,000回転で10分間遠心分離してその上清をトロンボプラスチン抽出原液とした。抽出原液4容と0.1mmol/L NaCl、120mmol/L 乳酸カルシウムを含む50mmol/L HEPES−Tris緩衝液(pH7.35)1容を混合してPT測定試薬とした。調製試薬に1mmol/Lの種々の金属化合物を添加し、コントロール血漿のPTを測定し、国際感度指数(ISI)及びVII因子欠乏血漿のPT比を求めた。その結果を表1に示した。

組織因子又は組織トロンボプラスチンとニッケルイオンを含有させることにより血液凝固活性を感度よく測定可能となった。[0001]
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a prothrombin time measurement reagent and a prothrombin time measurement method used for clinical examination.
[0002]
[Prior art]
Prothrombin time measurement (PT) in the blood coagulation test is a comprehensive test of the activities of factors II, V, VII, and X, which are blood coagulation factors. It is widely used as a test for determining the effect of drugs. Measurement of PT is performed by adding test plasma to a measurement reagent mainly composed of tissue factor or tissue thromboplastin derived from human or animal containing tissue factor and an appropriate concentration of calcium ion, and measuring the blood coagulation time. Is called. The human or animal-derived tissue thromboplastin, which is a reagent component, is usually extracted from an organ such as the brain or placenta. The organ as the extraction source contains blood components including blood coagulation factors. For this reason, it is difficult to extract tissue thromboplastin without mixing blood coagulation factors, and it is difficult to prepare a reagent that reflects the activity of blood coagulation factors with high sensitivity. In particular, since factor VII and tissue thromboplastin form a complex, it has been extremely difficult to prepare tissue thromboplastin that reflects factor VII activity with high sensitivity.
[0003]
The preparation of a reagent containing tissue factor or tissue thromboplastin with high sensitivity is the biggest problem for researchers in this field, and methods for extracting and preparing tissue thromboplastin have been shown (patents). Neither published publication 3-39267, published patent publication 3-503534, published patent publication Heisei 10-330400, U.S. Patent 3,983,004) were not satisfactory in practice.
[0004]
[Problems to be solved]
An object of the present invention is to provide a prothrombin time measurement reagent can sensitively measuring blood coagulation factor activity.
[0005]
[Solution]
As a result of intensive studies, the present inventors have mixed tissue thromboplastin extracted from tissue factor or animal organs with a nickel compound, so that the sensitivity is dramatically improved, that is, an ISI that exhibits the same sensitivity as a WHO reference product. The present invention was completed by finding that a reagent having a value of 1.5 or less and having high sensitivity to an exogenous coagulation factor can be prepared. Further, the target ISI value is not limited to 1.5 or less, and can be appropriately set according to the purpose by those skilled in the art. Other conditions can be similarly set according to the purpose by those skilled in the art.
[0006]
The present invention relates to a prothrombin time measurement reagent comprising a phospholipid, tissue factor and a water-soluble nickel compound. The present invention relates to a prothrombin time measuring reagent, wherein the nickel compound contains at least one compound selected from nickel chloride, nickel nitrate or nickel acetate. The present invention relates to a prothrombin time measurement reagent characterized in that the concentration of the compound is 0.1 to 5.0 mmol / L. The present invention relates to a prothrombin time measuring method characterized by using the above-mentioned prothrombin time measuring reagent .
[0007]
Tissue factor is contained in human or animal-derived tissue thromboplastin, and can also be prepared by genetic recombination. In the preparation of tissue factor by gene recombination, the activity as a tissue factor is expressed by adding phospholipid to the tissue factor protein obtained by gene recombination. Tissue thromboplastin is generally extracted from human placenta or rabbit or bovine brain. When rabbit brain is used, acetone powder obtained by dehydrating rabbit brain with acetone is extracted with an appropriate buffer. Cattle brain can also be extracted from acetone powder, or fresh brain can be minced directly. In general, the extracted tissue thromboplastin is adjusted to an appropriate concentration and freeze-dried by adding calcium ions, stabilizing agents, excipients, and the like. In some cases, it may be stored in liquid form.
[0008]
The step of adding the nickel compound is not particularly limited, but can be included in the final preparation or the extract. The concentration to be added is 0.1 to 5.0 mmol / L, and 0.5 to 3.0 mmol / L is particularly preferable. The kind of nickel compound to be added is not particularly limited, but is selected from inorganic compounds such as nickel chloride and nickel nitrate and organic nickel compounds such as nickel acetate.
[0009]
【Example】
EXAMPLES The present invention will be further described below with reference to examples, but the present invention is not limited to the examples.

As a result, it was found that nickel chloride has the effect of specifically decreasing the ISI value and increasing the PT ratio for factor VII-deficient plasma, and is effective in improving the sensitivity of the PT reagent.
[0013]
[Example 2]
In the same manner as in Example 1, the effect of improving the ISI value and the PT ratio of factor VII-deficient plasma was controlled by adding 1 mmol / L each of nickel chloride, nickel acetate and nickel nitrate to the additive-free PT reagent used in Example 1. Plasma PT was measured and examined. The results are shown in Table 2.
