The TECHNOSCREEN® ADAMTS-13 Unit Test is a semi-quantitative system for the determination of ADAMTS-13 protease activity in citrated human plasma.
This test was designed to be used as a first-line test to quickly estimate ADAMTS-13 activity.
ADAMTS-13 is an enzyme responsible for the cleavage of von Willebrand factor under blood flow conditions.
A functional defect in the activity of this enzyme leads to the presence of high molecular weight isoforms of vWF, and thus leads to increased platelet aggregation mainly in areas of microvascularization.
This is the known major cause of Thrombotic Thrombocytopenic Purpura (TTP).
Principle of the test: the patient's plasma is incubated with a fragment of vWF.
The specific cleavage of this fragment by ADAMTS-13 is then detected with a labeled antibody directed against the cleaved fragment of VWF.
The intensity of the stain is directly proportional to the amount of cleaved substrate, and therefore to the activity of ADAMTS-13 in the plasma sample.
Each ADAMTS-13 deficiency should be confirmed with a quantitative assay system.
