Activated protein C polypeptides and anti-peptide antibodies, diagnostic methods and systems for inhibiting activated protein C

摘要

The present invention describes APC polypeptides and anti-peptide antibodies capable of inhibiting activated Protein C anticoagulant activity. The polypeptide and antibody are useful in diagnostic methods and systems for measuring APC in vascular fluid samples. In addition, the polypeptide and anti-peptide antibody are useful in therapeutic methods for inhibiting APC in a human patient.
