Abstract

See full text

A method for preparing a thromboplastin reagent from cultured human cells comprising the steps of washing the cells with isotonic aqueous salt solution, lysing the cells by hypotonic shock, and resuspending the cell lysate in a diluent compatible with a one-stage prothrombin time determination to reach a concentration of about 0.5 to 3.0 mg/mL thromboplastin, whereby the cell lysate thromboplastin suspension produces a clot in a one stage prothrombin time test in about 10 to 15 seconds, with a mean normal prothrombin time of about 11-13 seconds, when added to citrated normal plasma in a volume ratio of about 2:1, such thromboplastin reagent being stable for at least 8 hours at 37.degree. C. and for at least 5 days at 4.degree. C.
