Abstract excerpt
Factor V was purified from the plasma of an activated protein C (APC)-resistant patient who is homozygous for the mutation Arg506-->Gln (factor VR506Q). Factor VR506Q was converted by thrombin into factor Va which was further purified yielding a factor Va preparation that had the same cofactor activity in prothrombin activation as normal factor Va. Inactivation of low concentrations of normal factor Va (< 5 nM)...
