Abstract
The assay of streptokinase by a relative potency method is described and suggested
for use. This method, when used with standardized reagents and a reference streptokinase
preparation, eliminates many sources of error inherent in previous procedures. The
statistical treatment of the data permits an estimate of potency to be obtained together
with 95 per cent confidence limits of the error of the assay and provides means for
detecting significant deviations from parallelism. The latter is useful for detecting
certain interfering substances that may occur in streptokinase preparations.
