International standards for minimum potency of anti-A and anti-B blood grouping reagents: evaluation of candidate preparations in an international collaborative study.

Abstract：

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES:The aim of the study was to evaluate lyophilized monoclonal IgM anti-A and anti-B preparations for use as international standards (IS) to specify recommended minimum potencies of anti-A and anti-B blood grouping reagents in tube tests. MATERIALS AND METHODS:The candidate IS for minimum potency of anti-A and anti-B blood grouping reagents, codes 03/188 and 03/164, respectively, were evaluated against a wide range of commercial anti-A and anti-B blood grouping reagents in an international collaborative study involving 16 laboratories in nine countries. Laboratories titrated 03/188 and 03/164 in parallel with as many commercial anti-A and anti-B blood grouping reagents, respectively, as were available to them, in tube tests according to specified haemagglutination methodology. Three of these laboratories and a further laboratory also titrated 03/188 and 03/164 in parallel with currently available reference preparations for anti-A and anti-B. The ratios of the mean endpoint titres of the anti-A and anti-B reagents to those of 03/188 and 03/164, respectively, within each laboratory were calculated. RESULTS:The ratios of the mean titres of the anti-A reagents to the mean titre of 03/188 within a laboratory fell within 0.062 and 4, i.e. the potencies of the anti-A reagents were between a sixteenth to four times as strong as 03/188. The ratios of the mean titres of the anti-B reagents to the mean titre of 03/164 within a laboratory also fell within 0.062 and 4, with one outlier. CONCLUSIONS:By international consensus, a 1 in 8 dilution of the candidate IS for anti-A, 03/188, and a 1 in 4 dilution of the candidate IS for anti-B, 03/164, were considered appropriate to define the recommended minimum potencies of anti-A and anti-B blood grouping reagents, respectively, in tube tests. On the basis of these results, preparations 03/188 and 03/164 were established by the World Health Organization as International Standards for Minimum Potency of Anti-A and Anti-B Blood Grouping Reagents respectively, and by the US Food and Drug Administration Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research as Minimum Potency Reference Reagents.
