Background The assay for ADAMTS13 activity helps clinicians to confirm the clinical diagnosis of idiopathic thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura. The clinical value of testing for the antigen level of ADAMTS13 protein is, however, less clear.Design and ...

Von Willebrand Factor, ADAMTS13 and D-Dimer Are Correlated with Different Levels of Nephropathy in Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus. [PDF]
We have investigated whether von Willebrand factor, ADAMTS13 (a disintegrin and metalloproteinase with thrombospondin type 1 motif, member 13), and D-Dimer were associated with different levels of renal function in patients with type 1 diabetes. Patients

Dear Editors, Since early in 2020, the first people in Europe were infected with the SARS-CoV-2 virus leading to the COVID-2019 pandemic. In March 2020, we admitted the first patients with a SARS-CoV-2 infection in our hospital.

Crystal structure of ADAMTS13 CUB domains reveals their role in global latency
The crystal structure of the ADAMTS13 tandem CUB1 and CUB2 domains reveals how protease global latency is conferred. ADAMTS13 is a plasma metalloprotease that is essential for the regulation of von Willebrand factor (VWF) function, mediator of platelet ...

Special delivery for ADAMTS13 [PDF]
In this issue of Blood, using a transgenic mouse model, Pickens et al describe that ectopic expression of ADAMTS13, exclusively in platelets, is able to provide effective protection in murine models of arterial thrombosis and thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (TTP ...

Anti-ADAMTS13 autoantibodies are the main cause of acquired thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura. Binding of these antibodies to ADAMTS13 eventually results in the formation of antigen-antibody immune complexes.

Recently, we showed that during the acute phase of immune-mediated thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (iTTP), ADAMTS13 circulates in an open conformation. Although the cause of this conformational change in acute iTTP remains elusive, ADAMTS13 is mainly

Pathogenicity of Anti-ADAMTS13 Autoantibodies in Acquired Thrombotic Thrombocytopenic Purpura
Background: Acquired thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (TTP) is an autoimmune disease in which anti-ADAMTS13 autoantibodies cause severe enzyme deficiency.

Key Points • Persistent detection of ADAMTS13 inhibitors may delay recovery of ADAMTS13 activity.• A delay in administering rituximab may potentially lead to further delays in the ADAMTS13 recovery.

ADAMTS13 and VWF activities guide individualized caplacizumab treatment in patients with aTTP.
Introduction of the nanobody caplacizumab was shown to be effective in the treatment of acquired thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (aTTP) in the acute setting.
