Abstract excerpt
Hemorrhagic factor V inhibitors frequently bind to the second C-type (C2) domain of factor V and interfere with phospholipid binding. To define specific residues recognized by inhibitors from four patients (one bovine thrombin-induced and three spontaneous antibodies), epitope mapping was performed using recombinant human factor V lacking most of the B-type domain (FV des B) and alanine-substituted mutants within...
