1 Standardization: Calibration of International Standards, reference preparations and working standards Micha Nübling, PEI

2 Paul-Ehrlich-Institut Governmental Authority for biological medicinal products Blood and blood products Assessment of IVDs for CE marking (NB) IVD batch release testing WHO CC: IVDs + Blood Products

3 Standardization of NAT assays WHO Working Group SOGAT Standardisation of Genome Amplification Techniques for the Safety Testing of Blood, Tissues and Organs for Blood Borne Pathagens

4 Standardization of NAT assays WHO Working Group SOGAT Representatives from......official medicinal control labs (OMCLs)...plasma manufacturers...in vitro diagnostic industry...regulators...universities, diagnostic labs

5 Standardization of NAT assays WHO International NAT Standards * lyophilised preparations of biologicals * high concentration of target * gold standard for secondary standards and working reagents

6 Standardization of NAT assays NAT standards: Desired Features * suitable for all NAT assays: PCR, TMA, NASBA, branched DNA,... * reflect measuring range of quantitative NATs * reflect target material * comparability with conventional IVDs, e.g. HIV: RNA / p24 * one unitage (IU / ml)

7 Standardization of NAT assays WHO NAT International Standards (WHO IS) * definition of candidate materials * collaborative study defining mean titre estimate * assignation of (arbitrary) unitage (IU / ml) * stability studies (real-time, elevated temperatures) * report to WHO Expert Committee on Biol. Stand.

8 Standardization of NAT assays WHO International Standards Target Concentration 1 IU = code NIBSC HCV RNA 10 5 IU/ml 3-8 cps 96/798 HBV DNA 10 6 IU/ml 2-7 cps 97/746 HIV-1 RNA 10 6,1 IU/ml 0.5 cps 97/650 B19 DNA 10 6 IU/ml 0.8 cps 99/800 HAV RNA 10 5 IU/ml >10 cps 00/560
