Factor IX is activated in vivo by the tissue factor mechanism
15 Aug 1990
Abstract excerpt
Despite significant progress in elucidating the biochemistry of the hemostatic mechanism, the process of blood coagulation in vivo remains poorly understood. Factor IX is a vitamin K-dependent glycoprotein that can be activated by factor XIa or the factor VII-tissue factor complex in vitro. To investigate the role of these two pathways in factor IX activation in humans, we have developed a sensitive procedure for...
