a bleeding disorder arises when there is a deficiency of protein C inhibitor. Factor V is a single-chain glycoprotein of approximately 340 000 mol. wt., and it circulates at a concentration of about 7 μg/mL in the blood.26It is activated by thrombin to formfactor Va, which has two ch...
PNH is a rare and severe blood disorder characterized by the destruction of red blood cells, known as intravascular hemolysis (IVH), and white blood cell and platelet activation that can cause thrombosis (blood clots) and result in organ damage and potentially premature death.1-3 Marc Dunoyer,...
Fresh anticoagulated whole blood (EDTA) was collected and diluted with an equal volume of tissue diluent. The separation solution was then added to the centrifuge tube at 2× the blood volume. The diluted blood was then spread on top of the separation liquid level, and the interface between ...
To test whether the thrombotic phenotype observed inErgiEC-KOmice was due to the decrease in TM expression, we used a mouse recombinant TM fusion protein targeting red blood cells (RBC-TM)39to restore TM protein activity in vivo. RBC-TM has been shown to have a longer half-life and to ...
reproduce normally and display no major phenotypic alterations when compared with wildtype C57Bl/6 mice. Comparison of differential blood counts of wildtype and ourGrsf1−/−mice revealed no significant differences. Interestingly, maleGrsf1−/−mice gain significantly less body weight when aging...

Compared to HFHS-fed wildtype mice, HNF4α HET mice had down-regulation of lipid catabolic genes, induction of lipogenic genes, and increased hepatic and blood levels of lipids, whereas HNF4α KO mice had fatty liver but mild hypolipidemia, down-regulation of lipid-efflux genes, and induction...
Novel types of mutation responsible for the dermatosparactic type of Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (Type VIIC) and common polymorphisms in the ADAMTS2 gene. Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (EDS) type VIIC, or dermatosparactic type, is a recessively inherited connective tissue disorder characterized, among other...
