Canine coagulation factor VII (FVII) deficiency can be hereditary or acquired and may cause life threatening bleeding episodes if untreated. FVII procoagulant activity can be measured by FVII activity (FVII:C), but assays for measurement of canine specific FVII antigen (FVII:Ag) have not been available to date. In this study, a canine specific ELISA for measurement of FVII:Ag in plasma was developed and validated. The FVII:Ag ELISA correctly diagnosed homozygous and heterozygous hereditary FVII deficiency. Together with activity based assays, such as FVII:C, the FVII:Ag ELISA should be valuable in the diagnosis of hereditary canine FVII deficiency.
犬凝血因子 VII(FVII)缺乏症可分为遗传性或获得性,如果未经治疗,可能会导致危及生命的出血事件。FVII 促凝活性可通过 FVII 活性(FVII:C)来测量,但目前还没有用于测量犬特异性 FVII 抗原(FVII:Ag)的检测方法。在这项研究中,开发并验证了一种用于测量血浆中 FVII:Ag 的犬特异性 ELISA。FVII:Ag ELISA 可正确诊断纯合子和杂合子遗传性 FVII 缺乏症。与基于活性的检测方法(如 FVII:C)一起,FVII:Ag ELISA 应该对遗传性犬 FVII 缺乏症的诊断具有重要价值。
