Definitions
- This invention relates generally to the field of hematology and blood coagulation disorders and specifically to a method of diagnosing and screening subjects for a thromboembolic disorder.
- Bertina, et al. and Greengard, et al. (Bertina, et al, Nature, 3_6_9_:64, 1994; Greengard, et al, Lancet, 241:1361, 1994), first identified the molecular basis for the FV abnormality.
- the phenotype of APC resistance was shown to be associated with heterozygosity or homozygosity for a single point mutation in the FV gene that resulted in the substitution of arginine at amino acid residue 506 with glutamine (FV R506Q).
- This R506Q mutation prevents APC from cleaving a peptide bond at Arg- 506 in FV that is required to inactivate factor Va (Bertina, supra; Sun, et al, Blood, £_:3120, 1994).
- APC-resistant FV appears to be the most prevalent cause of inherited thrombophilia
- a reliable, rapid coagulation test that can be used in a variety of circumstances is needed to evaluate a patient with a personal or family history of thrombosis.
- detection of APC resistance has been based upon obtaining the ratio of the clotting time of the APTT test when plasma is clotted in the presence of calcium ions plus APC to the clotting time of the APTT test when plasma is clotted in the presence of calcium ions alone (APC ratio).
- the test is considered positive if the APC ratio of a test sample falls below the range established for a control population.
- test cannot be used on plasma from two important groups of patients: patients taking oral anticoagulants, such as warfarin (Svensson, supra), and patients using a lupus anticoagulant (Bokarewa, et al, Blood Coagul Fibrinolysis, 5_:37, 194; Hampton, et al, N. Engl. J. Med, 221: 130, 1994).

- this test does not include methodology for testing the two groups of patients described above, e.g., patients taking oral anticoagulants, such as warfarin, and patients using a lupus anticoagulant.
- the present invention fulfills this need and overcomes many of the problems associated with the prior art tests.
- the assay of the present invention is based upon a one-stage tissue factor-dependent FV assay in which the dotting time of a test sample is measured when clotting is initiated with calcium alone and when clotting is initiated with calcium plus APC.
- the test requires no special handling of plasma, can be performed on frozen and thawed plasma, and can be used with any patient in whom testing FV resistant APC is indicated, regardless of their current therapeutic regimen (e.g., warfarin, heparin).
- the present invention provides a novel and specific coagulation test for the detection of APC-resistant factor V or Va.
- the test is based on a one-stage procoagulant- dependent factor V assay in which the clotting time of a test sample is measured after coagulation is initiated.

- the present invention provides a novel procoagulant reagent-dependent factor V coagulation assay based on the APC-dependent difference in clotting times of a test sample.
- the assay is useful for distinguishing among normal subjects and subjects which are heterozygotic or homozygotic for APC resistant FV.
- the invention provides an in vitro method for diagnosing a subject having or at risk for having a thrombotic disorder associated with activated protein C (APC) resistant factor V or Va comprising contacting a first test sample comprising a coagulation factor containing specimen from the subject, a procoagulant reagent and factor V deficient plasma, with calcium and APC; contacting a second test sample comprising a coagulation factor containing specimen from the subject, a procoagulant reagent and factor V deficient plasma, with calcium; and analyzing the clotting times for the first and second test samples.
- the subject is a human.
- the method of the invention is useful for diagnosis of subjects having a thrombotic disorder associated with APC resistant factor V or Va as well as those subjects at risk for such disorders.
- Those at risk for such a disorder include subjects with a family history of thrombosis, pregnant women, septicemic patients, subjects having antiphospholipid antibody syndrome (e.g., lupus anticoagulant antibodies, anticardiolipin antibodies) and patients undergoing surgery, for example.
- antiphospholipid antibody syndrome e.g., lupus anticoagulant antibodies, anticardiolipin antibodies
- thrombotic disorder refers to a disorder characterized by a blood clot in a broken or an unbroken vessel.
- the clot itself is referred to as a thrombus.
- a thrombotic disorder includes, but is not limited to, a thromboembolic disorder, wherein a blood clot or piece of a clot is broken off and transported by the bloodstream to another site, potentially impairing circulation.
- a thrombotic disorder also includes hereditary and non-thrombophilia (disorders of systemic hemostasis predisposing to thrombosis).
- APC resistant factor V or Va The genotype of APC resistant factor V or Va is most frequently a single point mutation in the FV gene wherein arginine at amino acid residue position 506 is substituted with glutamine. This R506Q mutation prevents APC from normally cleaving a peptide bond at R506 which is required for inactivation of factor Va.
- the phrase "thrombotic disorder associated with APC resistant factor V or Va" refers to a thrombotic disorder as defined above, wherein the disorder is at least in part caused by or complicated by a point mutation in FV or FVa that causes APC- resistance.
- a coagulation factor-containing specimen utilized as a test sample in the method of the invention may be any specimen containing the factors in question and is preferably a plasma sample.
- a "procoagulant reagent” as used herein refers to any reagent capable of initiating or stimulating clot formation.
- a procoagulant reagent of the invention includes any activator of the intrinsic coagulation pathway, such as a clotting factor selected from the group consisting of factor Xa, factor IXa, factor XIa and factor Xlla.
- Other procoagulant reagents which activate the system via the intrinsic pathway include kallikrein, an APTT (activated partial thromboplastin time, i.e., a reagent containing a phospholipid and a contact activator).
- Russell's viper venom can also be utilized as the procoagulant reagent.
- Contact activators utilized in the method of the invention as procoagulant reagents include micronized silica particles, ellagic acid, sulfatides, kaolin or the like known to those of skill in the art.
- the procoagulant reagent is tissue factor or tissue thromboplastin.
- the procoagulant, such as tissue factor may be a crude natural extract, for example, from rabbit brain or bovine brain, or may be a purified or recombinant tissue factor reagent. Optimal concentrations of the procoagulant reagent can be determined by those of skill in the art, depending on the reagent utilized.
- the procoagulant reagent may intrinsically include phospholipid, such as that typically released from traumatized tissue, or in the case of purified or recombinant procoagulant reagent, phospholipid may be exogenously included in the test sample.
- phospholipid procoagulant reagent is preferably present at a concentration of about 5-100 ⁇ M, most preferably from about 10-50 ⁇ M, in the test sample.
- Factor V deficient plasma included in the test sample can be obtained from a commercial source or by immunoadsorption of plasma with anti-FV antibodies, for example.
- the specimen, such as plasma is preferably diluted, for example in a physiologically balanced buffer (e.g., Tris-buffered saline), before adding the test components.
- a physiologically balanced buffer e.g., Tris-buffered saline
- the test specimen is obtained from a subject receiving anticoagulant therapy at the time of the assay, such as heparin or warfarin, or from a subject with a lupus anticoagulant.
- a preferred dilution is from about 1 :2 to 1 :300, and most preferably from about 1 :6 to about 1 : 100.
- Most preferably, several dilutions of the test specimen are prepared and a dilution curve is obtained.
- the method of the invention includes the addition of calcium to the test sample.
- Calcium (Ca 2+ ) may be in the form of a plasma soluble salt that provides the Ca 2+ ions in a free, uncomplexed form, i.e., strong Ca + chelators should be avoided.
- the final concentration of Ca 2+ in the test sample is preferably from about 0.5 mM to 50 mM, and most preferably from about 5 mM to 15 mM.
- Activated protein C as used in the method of the invention may be derived from a human or non-human source.
- concentration of APC in the test sample is from about 10 ng ml to 50 ⁇ g/ml, preferably from about 100 ng/ml to 10 ⁇ g/ml, and most preferably from about 200 ng/ml to 1 ⁇ g/ml.
- the method of the invention is performed on a first test sample as described above, which includes APC, and a second test sample which does not include APC.
- a test sample preparation can be modified to produce the first and second test samples, such that two test samples are obtained which differ only by the presence or absence of APC.
- a single initial test sample containing specimen, procoagulant reagent and factor V deficient plasma could be produced and to two separate aliquots of the initial sample are added either calcium or calcium plus APC.
- the preparation of a common initial test sample can be avoided and two parallel test samples prepared separately which differ only by the presence of APC.
- test samples are analyzed by measuring the clotting times of each of the samples and comparing them to each other and to normal reference interval values obtained for external standard samples (e.g., a normal subject not having or at risk of having a disorder as described herein).
- external standard samples e.g., a normal subject not having or at risk of having a disorder as described herein.
- There are several methods for analyzing the results of the clotting times For example, the difference between the clotting time for the test sample in the presence of APC and the test sample in the absence of APC can be determined and the results expressed as "clotting time difference". Clotting time difference is illustrated in the Examples. Briefly, test plasmas are diluted (e.g., 1:20, 1 :40 and 1 :80) in a physiological by balanced buffer (e.g.
- tTris buffered saline TBS
- Clotting times are determined and recorded, preferably as the average of duplicate samples.
- reference curves for each assay condition are prepared, for example, as log/log plots of clotting times against dilutions in buffer (i.e., 1 :10 to 1 :100) of pooled normal reference plasma.
- the ratio between the dotting time of the test sample in the presence of APC and the test sample in the absence of APC can also be determined, and the results expressed as a ratio.
- the ratio of the clotting time of the test samples, as described above, can be determined in parallel with the ratio of the clotting time of a reference plasma. The ratios are normalized and compared to a standard plasma sample tested in the presence of an anticoagulant such as warfarin, for example, and to a standard normal plasma sample.
- the comparison of clotting time described above is always determined with a standard value obtained for samples from normal individuals subjected to the identical test sample additions and under identical conditions as the test samples from the specimens being tested.
- the finding of a sample clotting time that is not normal compared to the standard value is taken as an indication of the subject suffering from the disorder or as being at risk for acquiring the disorder, in particular an enhanced clotting time is taken as an indication of a thrombotic disorder or a risk for acquiring such a disorder.
- a longer clotting time is observed in a normal test sample from a subject not having an APC-resistang factor V or Va disorder as described herein, as compared to a subject being heterozygous for the Arg506Gln (R506Q) mutation of factor V or Va.
- a longer clotting time is observed for a subject with a heterozygous mutation as compared to a subject with a homozygous mutation.
- the length of time required for the blood to clot will depend on the concentration of coagulation factors, including the procoagulant reagent and factor V deficient plasma, calcium and APC, in other words, depending on the dilution of the test sample.
- kits may comprise a carrier means being compartmentalized to receive in close confinement one or more container means such as vials, tubes, and the like, each of the container means comprising one of the separate elements to be used in the method.
- the kit of the invention is useful for the diagnosis of a thrombotic disorder associated with activated protein C (APC) resistant factor V or Va in a subject having or at risk for having the disorder, the kit comprising carrier means being compartmentalized to receive in close confinement therein one or more containers comprising a first container containing a procoagulant reagent, a second container containing factor V deficient plasma, and a third container containing activated protein C (APC). Further containers may optionally contain a calcium reagent, such as CaCl 2 or appropriate diluents for dissolving or diluting other reagents.
- a calcium reagent such as CaCl 2 or appropriate diluents for dissolving or diluting other reagents.
- venous blood Four and one-half ml of venous blood were collected into a siliconized BD Vacutainer tube containing 0.5 ml of 3.2% sodium citrate. Platelet poor plasma was prepared by centrifugation at 3,000 ipm for 15 minutes at room temperature. Plasma samples were kept frozen in capped plastic tubes at -70°C to -80°C until tested.
- Plasma was obtained from the following sources: (1) 39 asymptomatic volunteers from the staff of the Laboratory Service of UCSD Medical Center and the staff of a research laboratory; (2) 21 randomly selected patients receiving oral anticoagulant therapy with warfarin; (3) 29 patients receiving oral anticoagulant activity as determined from a combination of a) a prolonged APTT that failed to correct upon a 1 : 1 mix with normal plasma, b) increasing apparent coagulant activity with increasing dilution of the plasma in assays for factors VIII, IX, XI, and XII, and c) an abnormal dilute Russell's viper venom test; (4) 15 patients with known free protein S deficiency;
- This plasma was prepared by pooling plasma obtained from venous blood collected in one tenth volume of a buffered citrate anticoagulant (0.06 mol/L sodium citrate plus 0.04 mol/L citric acid) from between 15 and 20 healthy donors. It was stored in small aliquots at -70°C. The prothrombin time and activated partial thromboplastin time of the plasma from each donor was within 2 standard deviations of he mean of the individual plasma samples from the donors used for the routine control pooled reference plasma of the Special Coagulation Laboratory of the UCSD Medical Center. -13-
- the assay is based upon measuring the clotting time of a diluted test plasma sample in one-stage FV assay that is activated with tissue factor and clotted with Ca 2+ alone and with Ca 2+ plus APC.
- Test plasmas were diluted 1/20, 1/40 and 1/80 in Tris- buffered-saline, pH 7.5, containing 0.1 % bovine serum albumin (TBS/BSA) and kept on ice.
- TBS/BSA bovine serum albumin
- four clotting cuvettes were prepared, each containing 40 ⁇ l of the diluted sample, 40 ⁇ l of reconstituted rabbit brain thrombo ⁇ plastin (Sigma Diagnostic, St.
- the assay was performed initially at a 1/40 dilution, and then at a second dilution, either 1/20 or 1/80, as decided by the clotting time of the 1/40 dilution. When abnormal results were obtained, the test was performed at all three dilutions. On each day the assay was performed, reference curves for each assay condition were prepared as log/log plots of clotting times against 1/10 to 1/80 dilutions in TBS/BSA of the pooled normal reference plasma.
- a lymphocyte-rich layer was obtained from 10 ml of venous blood collected in acid citrate dextrose by standard Hypaque gradient technique and stored as a cell pellet at -20°C until used. Genomic DNA was extracted from the cell pellet with the DNA Extraction Kit (Bio-synthesis, Louisville, TX) according to the manufacturer's instructions.
- the 267-base pair (bp) fragment of FV containing the coding sequence for the amino acid Arg-506 was obtained by a modification of the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) method of Bertina, et al, (Bertina, supra).
- the 100 ⁇ l PCR reaction mixture contained about 1 ⁇ g DNA, 20 pmol of each of the two primers, PR-6967 and
- PR99020 (Bertina, supra), 20 nmol of each of the four deoxynucleotide triphosphates, 10 ⁇ l 10X PCR buffer (Perkin-Elmer, Branchburg, NJ), and 2.5 U of Taq polymerase (Gibco, Grand Island, NY).
- the DNA was denatured at 97°C for 2 minutes and subjected to 30 cycles of PCR in an automated DNA thermal cycler (Perkin Elmer Cetus, Branchburg, NJ). Each cycle consisted of 1 minute denaturation at 95°C, 1 minute annealing at 55°C, and 1 minute extension at 72°C. Following the last cycle, extension was completed for 7 minutes at 72°C. The product was then cooled to 4°C and stored at -20°C until further processing.

- FIGURE 1A provides and example of the reference curves obtained for the tissue factor-dependent FV assay (described in Example 1 ).
- the slope of the reference curve for the assay performed with APC was always greater than the slope of the assay performed with Ca 2+ alone. Therefore, the log of the difference in clotting times between the FV assay with and without APC was plotted against the log of dilutions of pooled normal reference plasma (FIGURE IB).
- the difference in clotting times increased from about 5 seconds to about 20 seconds as the dilution of the pooled normal reference plasma increased, i.e., as the concentration of FV in the test plasma decreased.
- the following procedure was adopted to obtain a test result independent of both the basal level of FV in the test plasma and the dilution of the test plasma used in the assay:

- Heparin in a final concentration of 0.5 U/ml, was added to plasma from two of the normal control subjects and to plasma from the two above-described heterozygotes for the FV R506Q mutation.
- Clotting time differences at a 1/40 dilution of plasma from the two normal subjects were as follows: for plasma not containing heparin, 13.6 seconds and 14.5 seconds; for plasma containing heparin, 14.0 seconds and 16.0 seconds.
- the corresponding values for the two heterozygote subjects were 6.6 seconds and 8.3 seconds; and 7.9 seconds and 7.4 seconds, respectively.
- this plasma concentration of exogenous heparin which exceeds the plasma level recommended for continuous intravenous therapy with heparin, did not alter the interpretation of test results.
- Plasma samples were available from two patients who had been found earlier on DNA analysis to be homozygous for APC resistant FV. In contrast to the heterozygotes, in whom longer clotting time were always obtained in the FV assay with APC, plasma from these two homozygotes consistently yielded slightly shorter times in the FV assay with APC than in the FV assay without APC (Table 1).

In 20 of the 21 patients, these values were closely distributed around the regression line of the mean secondary plot. Dilutions of plasma from a single patient, who had experienced several episodes of deep vein thrombosis, yielded much shorter clotting time differences than expected for normal plasma. Subsequent DNA analysis of a blood sample from this patient revealed heterozygosity for the FV R506Q mutation.
- FIGURE 4 shows secondary plot of results from 15 patients with free protein S deficiency. (0) 13 patients in whom responses to APC did not differ from normal subjects; ( ⁇ ) a patient in whom the response to APC was consistent with heterozygos ⁇ ity for FV R506Q; a second heterozygote patient whole on (o) or off (o) warfarin therapy. Other symbols are as described in the legend to FIGURE 2.
- Plasma samples were available from 15 patients who had been found to have a deficiency of free protein S antigen by the Special Coagulation Laboratory at UCSD Medical Center. Plasma from 13 of these patients gave normal test results, whereas plasma from two patients yielded markedly shorter clotting time differences than expected for normal plasma. In one of these patients, warfarin had been temporarily discontinued at the time the first sample was obtained and had been started again a the time a second sample was obtained. The data from both samples are shown in
- FIGURE 4 provides further evidence that therapy with warfarin does not affect the tissue factor-dependent FV assay for APC resistance. Subsequent DNA analysis in this patient confirmed heterozygosity for the FV R506Q mutation.
- FIGURE 5 shows secondary plot of results from 29 patients with a lupus anticoagulant.
- A) (0) 24 patients in whom the response to APC did not differ from normal subjects normal.
- APC was consistent with heterozygosity for FV R506Q. Other symbols are as described for FIGURE 2.
- FIGURE 6 shows secondary plot of results from the 21 patients: A) ( ⁇ ) pooled normal reference plasma; (0) 11 patients in whom the response to APC did not differ from normal. All other symbols, seen in the lower left portion of the figure, denote clotting time differences obtained with two or more dilutions of plasma from 10 patients in whom the response to APC was consistent with heterozygosity for FV R506Q. B) Lane 1-4, DNA analysis of 4 of the 10 heterozygotes from 6A. Lane 5 shows the results for a normal subject.
