Abstract excerpt
Tissue factor (TF), the cellular cofactor for the serine protease factor VIIa (F.VIIa), triggers blood coagulation and is involved in the pathogenesis of various thrombosis-related disorders. Therefore, agents which specifically target tissue factor, such as monoclonal antibodies, may provide promising new antithrombotic therapy. We mapped the epitopes of several anti-TF antibodies using a panel of soluble TF...
