HemosIL VWF Antigen Latex particles coated with rabbit polyclonal antibody specific for VWF antigen HemosIL VWF Activity Latex particles coated with anti-VWF mouse monoclonal antibody directed against the platelet binding site of VWF (Glycoprotein Ib receptor) HemosIL VWD Panel Plasma VWF triggers the agglutination of the latex particles measured at 405 nm.
VWF Activity: definition • The activity of VWF is: • Binding of circulating FVIII with the function of stabilizing it and protecting from degradation • Adhesion of platelets to injured vessels • By interacting with the collagen present in the sub-endothelium • This bound induces VWF to interact with platelet receptors: Glycoprotein Ib of inactivated platelets and glycoprotein IIb-IIIa of activated platelets Multimer size is important for normal biological function: the larger is the most active
VWF: Rco Platelet aggregation VWF causes agglutination of stabilized platelets in the presence of ristocetin Ristocetin, in vitro, mimics the action of collagen in modifying the VWF conformation, thus facilitating the binding with the platelet receptor glycoprotein Ib. The agglutination degree can be measured in Aggregometers (Biodata, Helena, Dade) or Coagulation analyzers (Dade) HemosIL VWF: Ac Latex immunoturbidimetric Anti-VWF antibody coated on Latex particles and directed against the platelet binding site of VWF (glycoprotein Ib receptor) Concept usually applied to ELISA (by Axis-Shield; Corgenix).

HemosIL Factor Def PlasmaPanel • Main Features • Immuno-depleted Factor Deficient Plasma • Factor level < 1% (all remaining at optimal level) • Format: 5 x 1 mL (lyo) • Stability at 2-8 °C : 24h after reconstitution • Stability on-board : 24h after reconstitution
Factor Parallelism • What is Factor Parallelism? • Measurement of Factor Activity Levels at different sample dilutions • Comparison of Plasma sample results at different dilutions with Calibration results at different dilutions • Determination of Factor Activity levels • Uncover presence of inhibitors
Factor Parallelism • Why is Factor Parallelism used? • Increase the quality of the results for factor assays • Uncover possible interferences that might affect the test results of the “single dilution test” • Lupus Anticoagulants • Heparin • Factor Inhibitors
Factor Parallelism • How to use Factor Parallelism: • 2-3 dilutions of the test plasma • The result of a sample dilution should fall within the working range of the assay • Results of the various test plasma dilutions should demonstrate parallelism with respect to those of the calibration plasma • Ideally test plasma and calibration plasma dilutions should be the same
Factor Parallelism • Criteria to define factor parallelism: • No official guidelines • Based on mathematical or statistical analysis • Examples: • Comparison of slopes (test plasma dilution curve vs calibration plasma dilution curve) • Check of R2 of test plasma dilution curve • Check variance of recalculated results between first dilution (100%) and subsequent dilutions
Factor Parallelism • Effects of Heparin & Lupus Anticoagulant interference: • Prolongation of aPTT clotting times may result on falsely detected low factor concentration results • With test plasma at increasing dilutions may decrease final heparin/Lupus concentration, thus recalculated results may increase with the sample dilution
Factor Parallelism • Factor inhibitors interference: • Factor inhibitors may be weak or strong inhibitors, therefore the effect of sample dilution may or may not uncover their presence

FXIII Deficiency • Inherited • Frequency 1: 5,000,000 • Types: Subunit A or Subunit B • In type A usually undetectable levels of FXIII • No cases of normal Factor XIII antigenic levels with impaired FXIII activity levels have been reported so far • The bleeding tendency typically becomes obvious when FXIII levels are <1-2%. • However severe bleeding episodes may occur with FXIII levels in the range of 30% - 50%.
FXIII Deficiency • Acquired • malignant hematological diseases • severe liver disease • DIC • acute stages of inflammatory gastrointestinal disease • Henoch Schoenlein purpura
Measurement methods COMPETITIVE ASSAYS • Katona (Thromb Haemost 2000: 83: 268-73) • Lim W et al ( J Thromb Haemost 2004; 2: 1017-1018) • the clot solubility tests only detect severe FXIII deficiencies with FXIII activity levels of 0 – 3%, thus making these tests unsuitable for detecting FXIII activity levels >5%. • Concerns regarding the Berichrom FXIII assay analytical sensitivity. Katona reports that the Berichrom assay is relatively insensitive and below FXIII levels of 5% the accuracy and the imprecision are not reliable. • As presented by the survey conducted by the FXIII working party of European Thrombosis Research Organization (ETRO), following a study on 72 patients a FXIII activity >5% can also be severe (Seitz R et al. Sem thromb Hemost 1996; 22: 415-8).
HemosIL FXIII Antigen CONCEPT: Immunoturbidimetric assay which measures specifically the subunit A of the FXIII tetramer • The inherited FXIII deficiencies reported so far have decreased antigenic and activity levels. There have been no known cases in which the deficiency was caused by decreased activity, with normal antigenic levels. • In addition, the very rare deficiencies affecting the subunit B also influence the plasma levels of the subunit A (Katona E. et al. Thromb Haemost 2000: 83: 268-73). In these cases, the tetramer is not detectable, while the subunit A is detectable but with low concentrations.
HemosIL FXIII Antigen CONCEPT: Immunoturbidimetric assay which measures specifically the subunit A of the FXIII tetramer • In acquired deficiencies, the measured antigenic levels of FXIII-A would be proportional to the activity levels even though they may not be identical (Lim W et al J Thromb Haemost 2004; 2: 1017-1018) particularly after replacement therapy.
HemosIL FXIII Antigen • CONCLUSIONS • HemosIL FXIII Antigen is a liquid ready to use immunoturbidimetric assay • Automated on ACL Futura/Advance and ACL TOP • Detects the Active subunit of FXIII • Simplify and facilitates the laboratory investigation of FXIII deficiency
