RESUMO
Tissue factor (TF), a potent initiator of the extrinsic coagulation pathway, is believed to have a critical role in thrombogenesis and haemostasis. To elucidate the role of TF in the development of various syndrome, we developed a quantitative assay method for the determination of TF using FIX complex (Profilnine) and the synthetic chromogenic substrate S-2238, all of which are commercially available. The method is simple, very sensitive, good linearity and applicable to the tissue culture plate, indicating its promising usage for the quantitation of TF activity of cells.
