Binding characteristics of thrombin-activatable fibrinolysis inhibitor to streptococcal surface collagen-like proteins A and B.

Thrombin activatable fibrinolysis inhibitor binds to Streptococcus pyogenes by interacting with collagen-like surface proteins

Thrombin activatable fibrinolysis inhibitor as a bleeding predictor in liver transplantation: a pilot observational study

OBJECTIVE To correlate the levels of thrombin activatable fibrinolysis inhibitor in the immediate postoperative period and at 24 hours postoperatively with the volume of intraoperative bleeding. METHODS Twenty-one patients allocated immediately before (elective or emergency) liver transplantation were analyzed. Blood samples were collected for thrombin activatable fibrinolysis inhibitor analy...

Thrombin-activatable fibrinolysis inhibitor is activated in an instant blood-mediated inflammatory reaction after intraportal islet transplant.

OBJECTIVES Activated thrombin-activatable fibrinolysis inhibitor is a coagulation factor in some thrombotic diseases. However, available data on whether thrombin-activatable fibrinolysis inhibitor is activated in islet transplant are limited. In this study, changes of plasma-activated thrombin-activatable fibrinolysis inhibitor levels in instant blood-mediated inflammatory reaction after islet ...

Thrombin-activatable fibrinolysis inhibitor and protein C inhibitor in interstitial lung disease.

Intraalveolar activation of the coagulation system due to reduced fibrinolytic function plays a critical role in the pathogenesis of interstitial lung disease. Recently, a new potent inhibitor of fibrinolysis, thrombin-activatable fibrinolysis inhibitor, has been isolated and characterized from human plasma. This study evaluated the levels of thrombin-activatable fibrinolysis inhibitor and prot...

Regulation of tissue inflammation by thrombin-activatable carboxypeptidase B (or TAFI).

Thrombin-activatable procarboxypeptidase B (proCPB or thrombin-activatable fibrinolysis inhibitor or TAFI) is a plasma procarboxypeptidase that is activated by the thrombin-thrombomodulin complex on the vascular endothelial surface. The activated CPB removes the newly exposed carboxyl terminal lysines in the partially digested fibrin clot, diminishes tissue plasminogen activator and plasminogen...
