Objective: To explore the change in the protein content and procoagulant activity of platelet-associated tissue factor (TF) in thrombotic diseases.
Methods: Platelets were isolated with Sepharose 2B gel column. ELISA was employed to detect the TF protein content in the lysates of washed platelets, procoagulant activity of platelet-associated TF was measured with one stage clotting time assay.
