Abstract excerpt
Platelet adhesion to exposed subendothelium is mediated by platelet receptor glycoprotein Ib and polymeric von Willebrand factor (vWF). To improve the results of coronary arterial thrombolysis, fragments of vWF with enhanced glycoprotein Ib binding competitive with native vWF have been proposed as adjuvants to recombinant tissue-type plasminogen activator (rtPA). We designed a recombinant vWF fragment spanning...
