SummaryGelchromatography column scanning has been used to study the fractions of 99mTc-pertechnetate, 99mTcchelate and reduced hydrolyzed 99mTc in preparations of 99mTc-EDTA(Sn) and 99mTc-DTPA(Sn). The labelling yield of 99mTc-EDTA(Sn) chelate was as high as 90—95% when 100 μmol EDTA · H4 and 0.5 (Amol SnCl2 was incubated with 10 ml 99mTceluate for 30—60 min at room temperature. The study of the influence of the pH-value on the fraction of 99mTc-EDTA shows that pH 2.8—2.9 gave the best labelling yield. In a comparative study of the labelling kinetics of 99mTc-EDTA(Sn) and 99mTc- DTPA(Sn) at different temperatures (7, 22 and 37°C), no significant influence on the reduction step was found. The rate constant for complex formation, however, increased more rapidly with increased temperature for 99mTc-DTPA(Sn). At room temperature only a few minutes was required to achieve a high labelling yield with 99mTc-DTPA(Sn) whereas about 60 min was required for 99mTc-EDTA(Sn). Comparative biokinetic studies in rabbits showed that the maximum activity in kidneys is achieved after 12 min with 99mTc-EDTA(Sn) but already after 6 min with 99mTc-DTPA(Sn). The long-term disappearance of 99mTc-DTPA(Sn) from the kidneys is about five times faster than that for 99mTc-EDTA(Sn).

SummaryInactivation of α- and β-thrombin by antithrombin-III and heparin was studied, since it had been suggested that two forms of thrombin exist with respect to heparin sensitivity (Machovich 1975b).It was found that the inactivation rates of α- and β-thrombin by antithrombin were different, namely α-thrombin was more sensitive to antithrombin than β-thrombin. Heparin facilitated the complex formation between α-thrombin and antithrombin-III, whereas β-thrombin inactivation was only slightly affected.Furthermore, heparin protected α-thrombin against the inactivating effect of heat, while β-thrombin lost its activity during the heat treatment.These findings suggest that the formation of β-thrombin in blood circulation may have an important role in thrombosis predisposition.

SummaryIn order to clarify the potential role of von Willebrand factor (vWf) in attenuating the inactivation of factor VIII (fVIII) by those antibodies with C2 domain specificity, we investigated a panel of 14 human antibodies to fVIII. Immunoblotting analysis localized light chain (C2 domain) epitopes for four cases, heavy chain (A2 domain) epitopes in five cases, while the remaining five cases were both light and heavy chains. The inhibitor titer was considerably higher for Kogenate, a recombinant fVIII concentrate, than for Haemate P, a fVIII/vWf complex concentrate, in all inhibitor plasmas that had C2 domain specificity. In five inhibitor plasmas with A2 domain specificity and in five with both A2 and C2 domain specificities, Kogenate gave titers similar to or lower than those with Haemate P. The inhibitory effect of IgG of each inhibitor plasma was then compared with recombinant fVIII and its complex with vWf. When compared to the other 10 inhibitor IgGs, IgG concentration, which inhibited 50% of fVIII activity (IC50), was remarkably higher for the fVIII/vWf complex than for fVIII in all the inhibitor IgGs that had C2 domain reactivity. Competition of inhibitor IgG and vWf for fVIII binding was observed in an ELISA system. In 10 inhibitors that had C2 domain reactivity, the dose dependent inhibition of fVIII-vWf complex formation was observed, while, in the group of inhibitors with A2 domain specificity, there was no inhibition of the complex formation except one case. We conclude that a subset of fVIII inhibitors, those that bind to C2 domain determinants, are less inhibitory to fVIII when it is complexed with vWf that binds to overlapping region in the C2 domain.
