Soluble phospholipids for use in clotting factor assays

摘要

The present invention provides a soluble phospholipid reagent and assays of clotting activity using the same. The methods of the invention can be used to carry out any clotting assay or other assay of clotting activity that traditionally relies on platelet membranes or synthetic membrane preparation by substituting therefor the soluble phospholipids of the invention. Assay compositions and kits comprising the soluble phospholipids of the invention are also provided.
