Abstract excerpt
Factor VII (FVII) is the plasma serine protease zymogen which, on binding to its cellular receptor tissue factor (TF), initiates blood coagulation. A 47-year-old man with no clinical bleeding tendency was found to have undetectable plasma FVII activity when tested in a one-stage assay using rabbit brain TF, but 0.3 U/mL using recombinant human TF and 1.04 U/mL FVII antigen. Variant FVII purified from his plasma...
