Article Title: Cross-reactivity of various thrombin products with anti-rabbit antibodies to bovine, human, and recombinant thrombin.
Abstract: JMI-thrombin is used as topical hemostatic agent. While earlier clinically available JMI were reported to produce immunologic responses upon repeated exposure, the improved JMI, Recothrom?, and Evithrom? are claimed to be less immunogenic. Recothrom, despite its reduced immunogenic nature, upon repeated administration may result in the generation of antibodies (Abs) and that may cross react with bovine and human thrombin. Therefore, groups of rabbits were challenged repeatedly with Recothrom, Evithrom, and JMI over a 9-month period. Pre-immune blood and antiserum were collected from each rabbit on different time point. To determine their relative cross reactivity, JMI, Recothrom, and Evithrom were evaluated by western blotting using the rabbit IgG fractions. The results suggest that anti-Recothrom Abs cross-react with Evithrom and JMI in a time dependent fashion. Anti-JMI Abs did not cross-react with Recothrom, and Evithrom. Also, anti-Evithrom did not show any cross-reactivity with Recothrom and JMI at any time.
