Scott CF, Silver LD, Purdon AD, Colman RW. J Biol Chem. 1985 Sep 5;260(19):10856-63. We have recently demonstrated that human high molecular weight kininogen (HMWK) is a pro-cofactor that is cleaved by kallikrein to yield a two-chain cofactor (HMWKa) and the nanopeptide bradykinin. This proteolysis enhances its association with an activating surface, an event necessary for expression of its […]

(1985) 152 (5): 887-894.doi: 10.1093/infdis/152.5.887 Eleven rhesus monkeys were monitored intensively during experimental infection with Ebola virus. Prominent neutrophilia with left shift and lymphopenia were the earliest abnormalities and were statistically significant by day 4 (P < .02 and P <.01, respectively). By day 4 […]

Factor VII can be activated, to a molecule giving shorter clotting times with tissue factor, by incubating plasma with kaolin or by clotting plasma. The mechanisms of activation differ. With kaolin, activated Factor XII (XII(a)) was the apparent principal activator. Thus, Factor VII was not […]
