Abstract
A reagent for determining prothrombin time (PT) including a recombinant protein tissue factor, a mixture of synthetic phospholipids, and a beta, gamma, or delta amino acid stabilizing compound is described for monitoring extrinsic blood coagulation activities. The source for the recombinant protein tissue factor is rabbit brain, and the phospholipids employed are palmitoyloleoylphosphatidylcholine (POPC) and palmitoyloleoylphosphatidylserine (POPS). The particular formulation buffer used to dilute the lipidated tissue factor provides a reagent that is optionally dried without lyophilization and remains stable for at least about 2 weeks at 37 C as either a liquid or a dried powder. A method for preparing the improved PT reagent and a method of using the reagent to analyze blood PT is also provided.
