[High Molecular Weight Urokinase Reference Standard (Control 901) of National Institute of Health Sciences].
A candidate for "High Molecular Weight Urokinase Reference Standard (HMW-UK RS, Control 901)" of the National Institute of Health Sciences (NIHS) was examined for evaluating the fibrinolytic activity. The urokinase activity of the candidate HMW-UK RS was determined by "two-stage method" as 800 Unit/Amp. against the present Urokinase Reference Standard (Control 881), through the collaborative study involving five laboratories. According to the gel-permeation chromatography of the candidate for the molecular determination, it was confirmed that more than 97% of the total urokinase activity was attributed to the higher molecular fraction, named HMW-UK. Thus it was authorized as the High Molecular Weight Urokinase Reference Standard of the NIHS.
