Embodiment 1

[0078] Benzamidine chlorate was added to the thrombin reagent (manufactured by International Reagent Co., Ltd.) at the following concentration. This thrombin reagent is a solution made of 200U / mL thrombin, acetic acid and a buffer containing calcium lactate, with a pH value of 6.0.

[0079] No.1: Thrombin solution (without adding benzamidine).

[0080] No.2: Add benzamidine to No.1 to make 5 mM benzamidine chlorate.

[0081] No.3: Add benzamidine to No.1 to make 10 mM benzamidine chlorate.

[0082] The residual activity of each thrombin was measured when the above samples were stored at 37°C for 0, 1, 2, 4 and 8 weeks. The determination method is in accordance with the method stipulated by the Japanese Pharmacopoeia. Measurement results such as figure 1 Shown: after 8 weeks, the thrombin activity of the group without benzamidine chlorate (No.1) dropped to below 50%; The activity residue is about 75% or more.

Embodiment 2

[0084] The thrombin solution described in No.1 of Example 1 is diluted with a buffer as shown in Example 1 to prepare a solution with a thrombin activity of 100 U / mL, and add benzamidine chlorate to make it reach the following concentration, and the thrombin stabilization effect at this time was investigated.

[0085] No.4: Thrombin solution (100U / mL, no benzamidine added)

[0086] No.5: Add benzamidine to No.4 to make 2.5 mM benzamidine chlorate.

[0087] No.6: Add benzamidine to No.4 to make 5 mM benzamidine chlorate.

[0088] Regarding the above-mentioned samples, the residual thrombin activity of each sample was measured in the same manner as in Example 1. Measurement results such as figure 2 Shown: In the group without benzamidine chlorate (No.4), the thrombin activity dropped to below 50% after 8 weeks; in the group added with benzamidine chlorate, the thrombin activity remained above 75%.

Embodiment 3

[0090] The thrombin solution described in No.1 of Example 1 was diluted with buffer as shown in Example 1 to prepare solutions with thrombin activities of 100U / mL, 120U / mL, 150U / mL and 200U / mL, Benzamidine was added separately so that the concentrations of benzamidine chlorate were 0, 2.5mM, 5.0mM, 7.5mM, 10.0mM, 12.5mM, and 15.0mM, and they were stored at 37°C for 8 weeks. Thrombin stabilization effect.

[0091] Measurement results such as image 3 Shown: In the solutions containing thrombin at various concentrations, the thrombin activity dropped below 50% in the group without adding benzamidine chlorate; in the group adding 2.5mM benzamidine chlorate, the thrombin activity remained at 70% % or more; in the group added with 7.5mM, the thrombin activity remained above 80%.

Abstract

Provided is a stabilized thrombin containing a test reagent and the test reagent kit. The test reagent contains thrombin and an inhibitor having thrombin inhibiting effect, the inhibitor is a protease antagonist having thrombin inhibiting effect, and is preferably selected from the group consisting of benzamidine, p-aminobenzamidine, m-aminobenzamidine, phenylguanidine, argatroban, gabexate mesylate and nafamostat mesylate. The test reagent of the present invention can contain one or more compounds with thrombin stabilizing function, selected from the group consisting of a calcium ion, an organic acid, a surfactant and a protein. The test reagent is useful as a solidifying ability test reagent, especially, fibrinogen metering reagent.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a stable thrombin-containing composition (thrombin reagent) and a testing reagent set thereof. More specifically, it relates to a stable thrombin reagent and a test reagent set thereof used in clinical medicine, especially in the field of fibrinogen quantification. Background technique [0002] The enzyme thrombin, which converts fibrinogen into fibrin, plays a very important role in the blood clotting reaction process. In the field of clinical examination, thrombin is widely used to measure the concentration of fibrinogen, the activity of thrombin-inhibiting substances, such as antithrombin activity and hirudin activity, and to further determine the activity of chemical synthesis inhibitors. [0003] However, since thrombin is generally not stable, when long-term storage is required, it is usually lyophilized before storage. In addition, to date, various attempts have been made to stabilize thrombin, as described in ...
