Abstract excerpt
A heterozygous G-->T transversion at position 1388 of the protein C (PC) gene which predicted the substitution of Arg(-1) to a Leu (PC(R-1L)) was identified in a thrombophilic patient. The PC(R-1L) was purified from the patient's plasma by immunoaffinity chromatography using Ca++-independent and Ca++-dependent monoclonal antibodies. NH2-terminal sequencing of the light chain of PC(R-1L) revealed two amino acid...
