Heparin binding affinity of normal and genetically modified antithrombin III measured using a monoclonal antibody to the heparin binding site of antithrombin III.

Abstract excerpt

The inhibitory activity of the plasma serine proteinase inhibitor antithrombin III (AT III) is enhanced about 1000-fold upon binding to heparin. We have determined the dissociation constants, Kd, of 48.8 nM for the heparin-AT III interaction, of 175 nM for the specific pentasaccharide-AT III interaction, and of 13 microM for the low-affinity heparin-AT III interaction, using a binding assay based on a monoclonal...
