摘要
Native hirudin is a heterogenous polypeptide obtained from the medicinal leech, Hirudo medicinalis. Recent advances in molecular biological techniques have led to the availability of large amounts of hirudin in the recombinant form. Recombinant hirudins (rH) are currently being investigated for potential use in the prophylaxis and treatment of deep venous thrombosis (DVT), in disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC) and during cardiovascular bypass surgery. In this study, one specific variant of rH with a lysine residue in position 47 (rHV2-Lys 47) was administered in dogs in a multiple dose regimen of 2 mg/kg (i.v. bolus) for three weeks with a dosing interval of one week. After each dose, blood samples were collected at regular time intervals, plasma separated and stored at -4-degrees-C. Concentrations of rHV2-Lys 47 in each sample were determined using an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Ex vivo antithrombin responses measured included activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT), calcium-thrombin time (Ca++TT-10 NIH units/ml) and a chromogenic anti-IIa assay. It was the purpose of this study to detect any sensitization or desensitization of antithrombin responses when rHV2-Lys 47 is used in a repeated fashion such as would be expected in the prophylaxis of DVT. The results indicated that there was no attenuation in the responses; however, there was a sensitization of response as measured by the Ca++TT (10 NIH units/ml). These findings could have major implications in the clinical use of rH where this drug is expected to be used in a multiple dose regimen.
