TISSUE FACTOR PHOSPHOLIPID VESICLE PARTICLES AND METHODS OF USE FOR COAGULATION

摘要

Tissue Factor (natural or recombinant truncated) can be incorporated into stable, soluble nanoscale particles so that activity is maintained. These particles can be used as a reagent in prothrombin clotting time assays or they can be used in therapeutic compositions for use in humans or animals. Therapeutic settings can include supplementation in the case of a genetic deficiency, uncontrolled bleeding, surgical incisions or seepage, thrombocytopenia, soft tissue trauma or other trauma, to effect tumor regression or to inhibit tumor growth.
