Background: Protein induced by vitamin K absence-II (PIVKA-II) is produced by the liver during hepatoma and upon warfarin administration. Those patients have disturbed protein synthesis and glycosylation in the liver. This decreases the number of γ-carboxyglutamyl (Gla) residues on prothrombin, converting prothrombin into PIVKA-II.

A reaction mixture of washed platelets from human individuals, Factor Xa and prothrombin markedly induced platelet aggregation; maximum aggregation rates, 31.3-92.

We studied the inhibitory action of recombinant desulphatohirudin (CGP 39393) on thrombin generation in whole plasma. Human plasma was activated either with thromboplastin or factor IXa. Hirudin delayed thrombin generation, but it was unable to prevent the explosive appearance of thrombin.

Heparin and heparin fragments in the molecular mass range 1,700-20,000 Da were examined for their ability to accelerate the antithrombin III (AT III)-dependent inhibition of human factor Xa and the prothrombin converting complex (prothrombinase) during human prothrombin activation. The prothrombinase reaction was modeled by a 3-parameter 2-exponential equation to determine the initial rate of prothrombin activation and the pseudo-first order rate constants of inhibition of prothrombinase and in situ generated thrombin activity. The catalytic specific activities of the heparins increased with increasing molecular size for both the inhibition of prothrombinase and factor Xa.

Thrombin-induced platelet factor Va generation and thrombin plus collagen-induced platelet prothrombin converting activity were tested. Crude heparin was a more potent inhibitor of these reactions than the fractions or the heparinoid.
