Platelet recruitment to sites of vascular injury is mediated by von Willebrand factor (VWF). The shear-induced unraveling of ultra-large VWF multimers causes the formation of a “stringlike” conformation, which rapidly recruits platelets from the ...

Reduced ADAMTS13 levels in patients with acute and chronic cerebrovascular disease. [PDF]
Von Willebrand Factor (VWF) plays a major role in thrombosis and hemostasis and its thrombogenicity is controlled by ADAMTS13. Whereas increasing evidence shows a clear association between VWF levels and acute ischemic stroke, little is known about a ...

The study by Thomas and co-workers in this issue of EBioMedicine provides detailed characteristics on the pathogenic properties of antibodies that develop in patients with acquired thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (TTP) (Thomas et al., 2015). It is now well-established that TTP is due to dysregulation of primary hemostasis. A crucial initial step in

Humoral immune response to ADAMTS13 in acquired thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura [PDF]
The apparently spontaneous development of autoantibodies to ADAMTS13 in previously healthy individuals is a major cause of thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (TTP). Epitope mapping studies have shown that in most patients antibodies directed towards the

Glycans of plasma ADAMTS13 [PDF]
In this issue of Blood , [Verbij et al][1] identified the sites of glycosylation in plasma ADAMTS13 (a disintegrin and metalloproteinase with a thrombospondin type 1 motif, member 13) and determined the composition of the glycan structures at these sites.[1][2] ADAMTS13 is a blood enzyme ...

ADAMTS13 ameliorates inflammatory responses in experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis
Background ADAMTS13 (a disintegrin and metalloprotease with a thrombospondin type 1 motif, member 13) plays a vital role in preventing microvascular thrombosis and inflammation.

Novel ADAMTS13 mutations in an obstetric patient with upshaw-schulman syndrome [PDF]
Upshaw-Schulman syndrome (USS) is a rarely reported congenital form of thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (TTP) that results from mutations in the ADAMTS13 gene.

Optimization of the detection of inhibitory autoantibodies against the VWF-cleaving protease ADAMTS13 with an automated chemiluminescent ADAMTS13 activity immunoassay [PDF]
INTRODUCTION: Acquired thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura is a rare disease associated with the production of autoantibodies against the VWF-cleaving protease ADAMTS13.

In this study, we investigated a case of pregnancy-onset thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (TTP). The patient had severely decreased ADAMTS13 (a disintegrin and metalloprotease with thrombospondin type 1 motif, member 13) activity levels during acute ...
