Abstract excerpt
Coagulation factor V (FV) is a central regulator of the coagulation cascade. Circulating FV is found in plasma and within platelet alpha granules. The specific functions of these distinct FV pools are uncertain. We now report the generation of transgenic mice with FV gene expression restricted to either the liver or megakaryocyte/platelet lineage using bacterial artificial chromosome (BAC) constructs. Six of 6...
