Abstract excerpt
Complexation of factor VIIa (FVIIa) and tissue factor (TF) initiates the extrinsic pathway of blood coagulation. Inappropriate triggering of this pathway has been linked to thrombotic disorders. We have previously shown that a mutant form ofsoluble tissue factor (sTF, residues 1-219) having Lys165 and Lys166 replaced with alanine residues (hTFAA) gave an antithromboticeffect in a rabbit model of arterial...
