A collaborative study to establish the 1st national standard of prekallikrein activator in Korea.
Biologicals(2012)
Abstract
The aim of this study was to establish the first national standard for prekallikrein activator (PKA) calibrating to the first international standard PKA. A collaborative study among five laboratories, including three manufacturers and two national control laboratories, was carried out to evaluate the suitability of a candidate to serve as a national standard of PKA. The candidate was manufactured in GMP facility following approved human serum albumin fractionation procedure and freeze-dried 5% albumin solution containing PKA. Participants were provided with sufficient samples and asked to use lab-made prekallikrein substrate prepared in accordance with European Pharmacopeia and also to use a commercial prekallikrein provided as part of the study. The PKA concentration of the candidate was 61.8 IU per vial using lab-made prekallikrein. However, the concentration was 54.2 IU per vial using commercial prekallikrein. The variability obtained at each laboratory ranged from 1.9% to 5.1% for within-a-day and from 5.6% to 9.0% for day-to-day. The candidate showed excellent stability from accelerated degradation study and real-time stability study. As a conclusion, the candidate preparation was suitable to serve as a Korean National Standard for PKA.
