Abstract

Summary: Antibodies against factor VIII coagulant activity can appear in haemophiliacs who are treated with factor VIII preparations but also spontaneously in non-haemophiliacs. The Bethesda assay is the most commonly used method to detect these antibodies, but it lacks specificity especially in the lower range resulting in unreliable data. Two modifications are proposed and tested to resolve the imperfections: 1. Buffering the normal plasma used in the assay- and control mixture with 0.1 M imidazole to pH 7.4. Replacing the imidazole buffer in the control mixture by immunodepleted factor VIII deficient plasma. These modifications allow better discrimination between positive and negative samples and improve reliability.

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.
