Assays of ADAMTS-13 activity

Seminars in Hematology, 2004
Various assays for determination of ADAMTS-13 activity in plasma have been developed, all comprising two steps. The first step consists of proteolyzing a substrate by ADAMTS-13. Substrates were either exogenous von Willebrand factor (VWF) (purified from human plasma concentrates or recombinant VWF [rVWF]), purified VWF fragments, or endogenous VWF ...

Severe ADAMTS-13 deficiency in childhood

Seminars in Hematology, 2004
Thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (TTP) is a rare microangiopathic disorder with high morbidity and significant mortality. The primary form of TTP is caused by severe deficiency, acquired or hereditary, of the von Willebrand factor cleaving protease (VWF-CP), ADAMTS-13.

An open conformation of ADAMTS‐13 is a hallmark of acute acquired thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura

Journal of Thrombosis and Haemostasis, 2018
Background: Acquired thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (aTTP) is an autoimmune disorder characterized by absent ADAMTS-13 activity and the presence of anti-ADAMTS-13 autoantibodies.

VWF73: a substrate for ADAMTS-13

Blood, 2004
![Figure][1] Recognition that a deficiency in the metalloprotease ADAMTS-13 leads to thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (TTP) is an important development in understanding the pathogenesis of this disorder.

Human endothelial cells synthesize and release ADAMTS-13

Journal of Thrombosis and Haemostasis, 2006
Hepatic stellate cells have been considered to be a primary source for human plasma ADAMTS-13, the von Willebrand factor (VWF)-cleaving metalloprotease. In this study, ADAMTS-13 antigen was detected by immunofluorescence in both venous (HUVECs) and arterial endothelial cells (HUAECs) using both polyclonal antibodies made against peptides found in ...

A multi‐center evaluation of TECHNOSCREEN® ADAMTS‐13 activity assay as a screening tool for detecting deficiency of ADAMTS‐13

Journal of Thrombosis and Haemostasis, 2020
Quantifying A disintegrin-like and metalloprotease with thrombospondin type 1 motif, member 13 (ADAMTS-13) activity enhances thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (TTP) diagnosis but most assays are time consuming, technically demanding, and mainly available in reference centers.Evaluate a simple, semiquantitative ADAMTS-13 activity screening test for ...

Localization and Function of Platelet ADAMTS-13

Blood, 2005
Abstract The haemostatic activity of von Willebrand factor (VWF) is strongly dependent on its multimeric size, with the highest activity in ‘unusually large’ multimers (ULVWF) secreted from endothelial cells. The multimeric size is regulated by a plasma metalloprotease, ADAMTS-13.

A child with specific ADAMTS-13 gene defect.

Pediatric Nephrology, 2010
A 4 year old child was admitted in Clinical hospital after recidivant episodes of haemolytic anaemia and thrombocytopenia registrated in early childhood, first recognized in a regional hospital in the maternity ward. The area of the highest incidence of the disease in our Continent is found in Northern Europe. Our boy is the first genetically confirmed

Another effect of desmopressin in ADAMTS-13

Blood, 2003
The adhesive glycoprotein von Willebrand factor (VWF) supports platelet interactions and stabilizes coagulation factor VIII (FVIII). Under high shear stress conditions such as those occurring in arterioles and in large stenotic arteries, plasma VWF changes from a globular into a ...

ADAMTS-13, VWF, inflammation, and thrombosis

Blood, 2004
Inflammatory cytokines can stimulate the release of ultralarge VWF multimers from endothelial cells, as well as affect ADAMTS-13 cleavage of VWF, thus demonstrating another link between inflammation and thrombosis.
