Hepatitis C virus (HCV) RNA was measured in commercial factor VIII concentrates, that is, antihemophilic factor (human) (AHF), to allow the retrospective evaluation of the effect of various virus-inactivation procedures. The impact on AHF of recent anti-HCV screening of plasma was also investigated.
A total of 183 lots of AHF made by six United States-licensed manufacturers from anti-HCV-unscreened (1976-1991) or screened (1992-1993) plasma were examined. Detection and quantitation of HCV RNA were achieved by reverse transcription and nested polymerase chain reaction at limiting dilution. Anti-HCV in AHF was also measured.
Earlier AHF lots subjected to non-virus-inactivated treatment (36 lots), dry heat (11 lots), or heating in n-heptane (4 lots) had relatively high levels of HCV RNA. Most (76%) wet-heated lots prepared before 1992 contained HCV RNA. No HCV RNA was detected in lots purified by immunoaffinity and subsequently heated or solvent/detergent (S/D)-treated. However, trace levels of HCV RNA were detected in S/D-treated lots made by one of four manufacturers before 1992. Since the start of anti-HCV plasma screening in 1992, 38 lots prepared by six manufacturers were negative for HCV RNA. Prevalence of anti-HCV was also associated with earlier concentrates and with S/D-treated lots from that single manufacturer.
Anti-HCV screening of plasma by manufacturers in conjunction with current virus-inactivation procedures, wet-heating or S/D treatment (either process with or without affinity purification), appears to reduce HCV RNA to undetectable levels in AHF.
对商业性凝血因子 VIII 浓缩物,即抗血友病因子(人)(AHF)进行丙型肝炎病毒(HCV)RNA 检测,以便对各种病毒灭活程序的效果进行回顾性评估。还研究了近期血浆抗 HCV 筛查对 AHF 的影响。
检查了由美国六家获得许可的制造商用未筛查抗 HCV(1976 - 1991 年)或已筛查(1992 - 1993 年)血浆制成的总共 183 批 AHF。通过逆转录和有限稀释下的巢式聚合酶链反应实现 HCV RNA 的检测和定量。还检测了 AHF 中的抗 HCV。
早期未经病毒灭活处理(36 批)、干热(11 批)或在正庚烷中加热(4 批)的 AHF 批次 HCV RNA 水平相对较高。1992 年之前制备的大多数(76%)湿热处理批次含有 HCV RNA。在通过免疫亲和纯化随后加热或经溶剂/去污剂(S/D)处理的批次中未检测到 HCV RNA。然而,在 1992 年之前由四家制造商之一生产的经 S/D 处理的批次中检测到痕量 HCV RNA。自 1992 年开始血浆抗 HCV 筛查以来,六家制造商制备的 38 批产品 HCV RNA 呈阴性。抗 HCV 的流行率也与早期浓缩物以及该单一制造商的经 S/D 处理的批次有关。
制造商对血浆进行抗 HCV 筛查并结合当前的病毒灭活程序,即湿热处理或 S/D 处理(有无亲和纯化的任何一种方法),似乎可将 AHF 中的 HCV RNA 降低到检测不到的水平。
