METHODSThrombin Titer Test. The reaction mixture, at 28OC, for this analysis consists of the following combination: bovine lung thromboplastin, 0.50 ml; CaClz (0.04 M), 0.25 ml; plasma or serum, etc., 0.50 ml reagent space, 0.25 ml.The reagent space is for the addition of physiological saline in the case of plasma evaluations and purified prothrombin in the case of specimens’ devoid of prothrombin. If prothrombin is available in other reagents of the reaction mixture this space may be utilized for any material desired. If a solution of purified prothrombin is used it must be six times as strong as the concentration desired in the final mixture. The units of prothrombin are expressed as u/ml of the final reaction mixture in all cases. For the analysis, 0.1 ml of this reaction mixture is added to 0.4 ml of standardized fibrinogen solution, just as one does for quantitative thrombin analysis (7). For this expression of the results a graph is constructed with clotting time, in seconds, as the ordinate and minutes of inmbation in the reaction mixture as the abscissa. The curve is then studied for its expression of the activation of prothrombin and the subsequent inactivation of the thrombin. Defibrinated Dog Plasma, Ether-Treated. Blood was collected from healthy dogs by means of a twosyringe technique which minimizes contamination of the blood with tissue thromboplastin. As anticoagulant, either 1.85% potassium oxalate was mixed with seven parts of blood or 3.2% sodium citrate was mixed with blood in a I: 9 ratio. The blood was drawn into the syringe containing the anticoagulant. The plasma was obtained by centrifugation at 2,500 g for 15 minutes. The plasma was defibrinated as follows: 0.5 ml plasma+ 0.4 ml saline+ 0.1 ml thrombin. The thrombin was of high quality and contained IOO u/ml. The fibrin was removed by mechanical means.
