FIBRINOGEN-DEPLETED HUMAN PLATELET LYSATE

THE NEW STATE OF THE ART

Up to now, pooled Human Platelet Lysate (HPL) products contain plasmatic coagulation factors such as fibrinogen. This is because HPL is produced from lysed human platelets which are part of the wound healing cascade.To prevent clot formation in cell culture, anticoagulants need to be added.

It is possible to reduce the fibrinogen content of HPL by using different manufacturing processes. Due to the simplified handling, fibrinogen-depleted products make it even easier to switch from serum-containing to serum-free cell culture media

The use of fibrinogen-depleted Human Platelet Lysate eliminates the need for anticoagulant administration.

OUR NEW ELAREM™ PERFORM-FD PLUS

Our new product ELAREM™ Perform-FD PLUS is free from any traces of anticoagulants.

For our latest product invention, we optimised our production process: Fibrinogens are removed without the necessity of using any anticoagulants for the final cell culture medium nor during manufacturing.

HIGHEST QUALITY

High-quality composition and production based on a new technology generates a clot-free and anticoagulant-free Human Platelet Lysate that is ready to use.

PROCESS OPTIMISATION

High cell yield due to rich growth factor content and simplified handling lead to shorter manufacturing times.

BATCH-TO-BATCH STABILITY

Large batch sizes eliminate the need for batch evaluation prior to use.

BROAD COMPATIBILITY

Flexible use for various cell types and cell therapy development stages.

SAFE

In addition to being free from ethical concerns, Human Platelet Lysate allows for much better traceability and carries no risk of transmitting pathogens and prions of animal origin.

EU ORIGIN

EU origin material: Transfusion-approved platelet units are sourced from contracted certified EU blood banks. That ensures long traceability periods (30 years).

WHAT IS FIBRINOGEN AND WHY IS IT NORMALLY PRESENT IN HUMAN PLATELET LYSATE?

Fibrinogen is the main substrate for coagulation of blood in the human body. After Albumin, it is the most popular protein present in the blood circulation.

Its function comes into play when a wound is present. Then a coagulation cascade is activated and a “thrombin-burst” occurs. This leads to the building of stable fibrin clots. Together with thrombocytes and another coagulation factor (XIIIa), the fibrin builds a network of stable fibers to close wounds as fast as possible. (2)

Our products are manufactured from human platelets. Those raw platelets contain coagulation factors, including fibrinogen, to react to a bleeding by initiating a blood clot. We differentiate between fibrinogen-containing and fibrinogen-depleted Human Platelet Lysates.

BENEFITS OF USING FIBRINOGEN-DEPLETED HUMAN PLATELET LYSATE

Fibrinogen-depleted Human Platelet Lysate simplifies a transition from serum-containing cell culture media. Cell culture protocols only require the adjustment of the HPL concentration used (specific to the cell type), but not the implementation.

Reproducible Results

Although we show that neither fibrin content nor fibrinogen deficiency has an impact on cell culture performance, some studies suggest that it may be beneficial to deplete fibrinogen and avoid the use of heparin due to its potential pro-inflammatory properties. (1)

HOW IS FIBRINOGEN REMOVED?

Various hydrogel formation, disruption, and centrifugation steps are required to remove fibrinogens from raw human platelet concentrate. Current techniques for fibrinogen depletion involve the addition of a (xeno-free) anticoagulant. This step prevents the low levels of fibrinogen remaining in the HPL from clotting.

„To date procedures to reduce fibrinogen and to avoid [anticoagulants] are based on the addition of CaCl2 to undiluted pHPL to antagonize citrate effects and to induce the coagulation cascade, thus producing serum-converted platelet lysate [30, 31].“ 1

With our newest product ELAREM™ Perform-FD PLUS, the addition of an anticoagulants is no longer required because of our innovative fibrinogen-removal technique.

DOES FIBRINOGEN-DEPLETION HAS ANY EFFECT ON THE PERFORMANCE?

The process of fibrinogen-depletion does not influence the performance of the products in means of cell growth and differentiation potential.

ELAREM Perform FD US Origin

ELAREM™ Perform-FD is a fibrinogen-depleted Human Platelet Lysate of US origin supporting in vitro expansion of various primary cells and cell lines. Due to the fibrinogen-depletion process, ELAREM™ Perform-FD does not require anticoagulant addition – application workflows are simplified.

The xeno-free cell growth promoter is manufactured from transfusion-approved platelets obtained at licensed US blood centres. Platelet units are pooled in large batches to ensure reproducibility.

ELAREM Perform FD PLUS EU Origin Heparin Free

ELAREM™ Perform-FD PLUS is a clot-free, fibrinogen-depleted and anticoagulant-free Human Platelet Lysate of EU origin. As an animal-free and easy-to-use cell culture supplement, ELAREM™ Perform-FD PLUS efficiently and safely supports in vitro expansion of various primary cells and cell lines.

Due to the unique fibrinogen-depletion technique, ELAREM™ Perform-FD PLUS is clot-free and neither requires the addition of anticoagulants in cell culture nor during manufacturing. ELAREM™ Perform-FD PLUS is derived from EU origin platelet units which ensures longest raw material traceability periods.

ELAREM Ultimate FDi virus inactivated HPL

ELAREM™ Ultimate-FDi is a virus-inactivated and fibrinogen-depleted Human Platelet Lysate of US origin, suited to clinical trial and therapeutic development needs.

ELAREM™ Ultimate-FDi is manufactured, tested and released in compliance with the relevant GMP guidelines. The final product is gamma-irradiated in order to comply with the highest safety guidelines for clinical applications. Virus panel testing is performed according to ICH and EMA guidelines (ICH Q5A (R1) and CPMP/BWP/268/95).

WHY IS IT BENEFICIAL TO AVOID THE USE OF ANTICOAGULANTS?

Studies showed that there can be an influence of anticoagulants in respect to proliferation, colony forming and ex-vivo differentiation capacity. (1) The influence is strongly dependent on:

  • The quality of the anticoagulant

  • The origin of the anticoagulant

  • And the amount used in cell culture (3)

ELAREM Perform-FD PLUS

Anticoagulants need to be added to non-fibrinogen-depleted HPLs in order to prevent the formation of fibrin from fibrinogens because medium gelation (coagulation) during cell culture can hamper cell proliferation. (4)

There are different anticoagulants. Nevertheless, animal-derived anticoagulants are used most of the time in research due to their availability and price. There are also synthetic anticoagulants available which are slightly more expensive. The concentrations to stop coagulation vary between those types. The disadvantage of using porcine anticoagulants with HPL is the prevention of fully humanizing the cell culture. (4)
