Localization of factor-VIII-related antigen in human vascular subendothelium.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Factor-VIII-related antigen has previously been shown to be synthesized by vascular endothelial cells. Using both an immunofluorescent staining technique and electron microscopy, we have demonstrated the presence of factor-VIII-related antigen in human vascular subendothelium. This finding may have implications in the mechanism of platelet adhesion to deendothelialized blood vessel surfaces.

Electron microscopic localization of factor-VIII-related antigen in adult human blood vessels.
We have localized factor-VIII-related antigen, using immunofluorescence and electron microscopy, in adult human blood vessels. In addition to its presence in endothelial cells, the antigen was localized within subendothelium and the layers of elastic lamina closest to the lumen. Also, we provide the first morphological evidence that factor-VIII-related antigen is associated with collagen fibril...
متن کاملBacterial Expression and Purification of C1C2 Domain of Human Factor VIII
With the aim of the production of human factor VIII antigen and its corresponding antibody an epitope coding fragment of the light-chain of hFVIII, fused to a His6-tag, was isolated and over-expressed in Escherichia coli. The over-expressed hFVIII-epitope containing peptide was confirmed by its reaction with a rabbit serum directed against native hFVIII as well as antiHis6-tag antibody. An expr...

Immunohistochemical localization of factor VIII-related antigen was studied in human tissues obtained at autopsy or renal biopsy, umbilical cord vessels, smears of washed blood cells and cultured human endothelial cells. Factor VIII-related antigen was demonstrated in the vascular intima throughout the body and cells lining the sinusoids of the lymph node, spleen and liver by an indirect immuno...
متن کاملFactor VIII/von Willebrand factor in subendothelium mediates platelet adhesion.
The present studies were undertaken to determine whether factor VIII/von Willebrand factor (vWF) present in the vessel wall (in addition to that in plasma) may mediate the attachment of platelets to subendothelium. Subendothelium from everted rabbit aorta was exposed to human citrated blood flowing through an annular perfusion chamber at 40 mL/min (wall shear rate of 2,600 s-1 for five minutes)...

The relationship between the multimeric size of factor VIII-von Willebrand factor (FVIII-vWF) and the support of platelet adhesion to subendothelium was studied in an annular perfusion chamber, employing human renal and umbilical arteries. Commercial factor VIII concentrates containing multimers of low molecular weight that had been shown not to correct the bleeding time upon infusion into pati...
