C-reactive protein prolongs blood coagulation time in phospholipids-dependent coagulation tests

Purified platelet phospholipids and blood coagulation.

By JOHN H. FERGUSON, AARON J. MARCUS AND A. JEAN ROBINSON P LATELET PHOSPHATIDYLSERINE ( PS ) and phosphatidylethanolamine (PE) have been successfully isolated and purified1”8 by applying methods worked out by Rouser and colleagues4 for the corresponding brain phospholipids. With the modern evolution5t of clotting tests, applicable to research on the role of phosphatides7’8 in blood coagulation...

The adsorption of coagulation factors onto phospholipids. Its role in the reaction mechanism of blood coagulation.

Contribution of Different Types of Phospholipids in Blood Coagulation

In case of an injury platelets become activated and proper interaction of blood clotting proteins with membranes of activated platelets is essential for maintaining a balanced hemostasis. Hemophilia and thrombosis are the two extremes of an imbalanced hemostasis where patients with hemophilia suffer from severe bleeding and those with thrombosis from unnecessary blood clots that block normal fl...

Blood coagulation-dependent inflammation. Coagulation-dependent inflammation and inflammation-dependent thrombosis.

Hemostatic serine proteinases-thrombin, Factor VIIa, Factor Xa, play the central role in blood coagulation and thrombosis. Activation of coagulation and generation of active proteinases is initiated by tissue factor (TF) that is expressed by cells of the innate immune system and endothelial cells after tissue damage and cell activation induced by trauma, infection, hypoxia and other cell injury...

Blood Coagulation

INTRODUCTION This section covers the means, as far as we now know them, by which components of the blood plasma produce an insoluble protein meshwork, or gel, at a site of blood-vessel damage. The plasma is normally completely fluid, containing all its proteins in soluble form. When the clotting system is activated at a site of blood-vessel damage, a series of proteolytic reactions is set going...
