Abstract:Assessment of plasma vWF abnormalities by clinical coagulation laboratories is difficult because the available test systems for vWF antigen quantification and multimer analysis are expensive, laborious, and require days, radioactive anti-vWF antibodies and autoradiographic methods. We have devised simple, rapid, sensitive alternative techniques for vWF quantification and multimer analysis that can be readily installed in clinical laboratories. Plasma vWF antigen quantification is by a 2 hour enzyme immunoassay… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
