摘要:
The present invention relates to the simultaneous measurement of proteolylic enzyme generation and clot strength in plasma or whole blood or any appropriate biological sample derived from blood. The measurement method encompasses the use of a detectable substrate which comprises a moiety that can be released upon reaction with the targeted proteolytic enzyme, and means for measurement of an increase in viscosity of clot strength.

The invention relates to a method for in vitro determining thrombin activity in a sample wherein the sample is a blood sample and thrombin generation is measured by the steps of: - contacting a layer of said sample with a fluorogenic substrate of thrombin, wherein said layer has a thickness within a range of 0.05 to 5 mm and a surface within a range of 10 to 500 mm 2 ; - allowing thrombin to generate in said sample; - measuring the fluorescence emitted from the surface of the layer, by the fluorescent group released from the fluorogenic substrate as a result of enzymatic action of generated thrombin on said fluorogenic substrate.

The invention relates to time-course measurement of enzymatic activity corrected for impacts of disturbances relating to the reaction of the enzyme with a substrate. The in vitro method of the invention is especially intended for the measurement of clotting or the fibrinolysis activity in vitro . The invention enables to measure the exact time course of an enzymatic activity that develops and/or disappears in a reaction mixture, especially in a blood sample. The invention thus relates to a method of determination of the course of an enzyme activity that is variable in time, wherein said activity is probed by conversion of a substrate of the enzyme, comprising, in a selected test set up and for a determined substrate of the enzyme, the determination of the velocity of signal production (dF diag /dt) resulting from a time curve of the signal (F diao =f(A)) obtained from splitting said substrate when it is contacted with a determined initially fixed concentration of the enzyme (E) and providing a "diagnostic plot" with the values of (dF diag /dt) against the signal (F diag ) and determining whether said diagnostic plot is either a straight line or a parabola and in the same test conditions, for a given test sample, the determination of the signal production (F exp ) resulting from splitting the substrate by the enzyme generating in and/or disappearing from the sample and providing the time curve of signal F exp =f(t); and transforming the obtained experimental value of the signal (F exp ) into an ideal value (F transf )
