Deficiency of high‐molecular‐weight von Willebrand factor mitigates thrombo‐complement injury in an LPS‐induced TMA‐like mouse model

VIEW, EarlyView.
Reduction of high‐molecular‐weight von Willebrand factor disrupts the platelet–complement amplification loop, attenuating microvascular thrombosis, complement deposition, endothelial injury, and organ damage in complement‐mediated thrombotic microangiopathy.

Multiple domains of ADAMTS13 are targeted by autoantibodies against ADAMTS13 in patients with acquired idiopathic thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura

Haematologica, 2010
Background Type G immunoglobulins against ADAMTS13 are the primary cause of acquired (idiopathic) thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura. However, the domains of ADAMTS13 which the type G anti-ADAMT13 immunoglobulins target have not been investigated in a ...
