Abstract excerpt
The effect of platelet contamination and freeze-thawing on the activated protein C sensitivity ratio (APCsr) was determined. With increasing platelet count there was a progressive reduction in the ratio. Filtration of samples through a 0.2 microm filter before or after freeze-thawing abolished the development of resistance to the addition of activated protein C indicating that the phenomenon is due to the...
