dRVVT Is more Sensitive than KCT or TTI for Detecting Lupus Anticoagulant Activity of Anti-β2-glycoprotein I Autoantibodies

Abstract

Summary: Anti-β2-glycoprotein I (β2-GPI) antibodies behave as classical Lupus Anticoagulants (LA), as they inhibit phospholipid-dependent coagulation reactions and their activity disappears in the presence of excess exogenous phospholipids (PLs). We have recently shown that a certain amount of PLs in the dilute Russell Viper Venom Time (dRVVT) test system is required to express LA activity of anti β2-GPI antibodies. We have now extended this observation to two other tests, i.e., Kaolin Clotting Time (KCT) in which PLs are not added, and Tissue Thromboplastin Inhibition test (TTI) in which PLs are extremely diluted. In fact, affinity-purified antibody preparations from 5 patients with antiphospholipid syndrome did not express or only weakly expressed anticoagulant activity in both tests; the mean ratios of coagulation times obtained with purified antibodies and that of control buffer were 1.11 and 1.0 for KCT and TTI, respectively. On the contrary, the mean ratios in dRVVT were 1.31 and 1.49 at a PLs dilution of 1:8 and 1:64, respectively. Therefore, the presence of LA activity due to autoantibodies to β2-GPI is characterized by a positive dRVVT and negative or only weakly positive KCT and TTI.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
