Background: Tissue dynamics of von Willebrand factor (VWF) that are vital to its biological function have not been fully characterized.
Objective: To develop a new fluorescent protein--VWF chimera (FP-VWF) that has similar hematologic function to wild-type VWF and use it to monitor the tissue dynamics of VWF distribution.
Methods: Genotyping, platelet counting, tail bleeding time assay, agarose gels, western blot, platelet aggregation, proteolytic analysis, and ELISA were applied in characterizing the function of FP-VWF; fluorescence spectrometer and confocal fluorescence microscope were used to monitor the plasma and tissue distribution of FP-VWF.
