Abstract excerpt
The most common commercially available test measuring activated protein C (APC) resistance relies on the the anticoagulant response to added APC in an activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT) based method. Another method is a Russell Viper venom time (RVVT) based system. To improve the specificity for factor V Leiden of the APTT based method, pre-dilution of test plasma in FV-deficient plasma has recently...
