Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Although heparin possesses multiple mechanisms of action, enhanced factor Xa inhibition by antithrombin is accepted as the predominant therapeutic mechanism. The contribution of FIXa inhibition to heparin activity in human plasma remains incompletely defined. OBJECTIVES: To determine the relevance of FIXa as a therapeutic target for heparins, particularly serpin-independent inhibition of intrinsic...
