Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: To elucidate the mechanism and the binding regions of monoclonal antibodies (MA) that interfere with thrombin-activatable fibrinolysis inhibitor (TAFI)/activated thrombin-activatable fibrinolysis inhibitor (TAFIa) activity. RESULTS: Of 42 MA, 19 interfere with the TAFI activation/TAFIa activity resulting in an inhibition of up to 92%. Characterization of the mechanism of inhibition revealed that 14 MA...
