ABSTRACT:
An assay useful for detecting the propensity of patients for thrombotic disease, especially patients having the lupus anticoagulant or antiphospholipid antibodies, is described. The assay is conducted on patient and control plasma in the presence and absence of exogenous Protein C with a membrane source comprising phosphatidylethanolamine and phosphatidylserine. Patients at risk exhibit test results indicating activated Protein C function is inhibited.
