Plasma von Willebrand Factor Antigen Levels and Its Relation with ABO Blood Group, Age and Sex
Background: The ABO blood antigens may influence the levels of vWF: Ag and put individuals at risk of coagulopathies. This study assessed the plasma vWF: Ag and its relation with ABO blood antigens among healthy adults in northern Ghana.

VWF, WM, and angiogenesis: is there a link? [PDF]
The serum levels of several angiogenic cytokines are increased in patients withWaldenström macroglobulinemia (WM). Angiopoietin-2 is also increased and the balance of angiopoietin-1/angiopoietin-2, which antagonize for the receptor tyrosine kinase Tie-2 is in favor of angiopoietin-2. Lymphoplasmacytic cells may produce VEGF, but they also produce large

In this issue of Blood , Feng and coworkers present data suggesting a role for von Willebrand factor (VWF) in the proteolytic inactivation of complement C3b by factor I (CFI).[1][1] Whereas smaller VWF multimers, especially dimers, tetramers, and hexamers, enhance C3b inactivation by CFI, large ...
