Abstract excerpt
Inactivation of specific genes in mammals by gene targeting has accelerated our ability to determine gene function. Nearly all genes involved in the blood coagulation system have been knocked out in mice. Tissue factor (TF) is the main initiator of the coagulation system and functions as a cell surface receptor for coagulation factor VII (FVII). Knockout studies have shown that TF deficiency results in lethality...
