Abstract
Addition of Factor Xa, Factor Va and prothrombin to immobilized cultured human umbilical-vein endothelial cells resulted after a time delay in thrombin formation. The prothrombin-converting (prothrombinase) activity, however, was not associated with the cell surface. Rather, perturbation by thrombin, either formed in situ or exogenously added, induced a procoagulant phospholipid surface in the fluid phase, which, in the presence of Factor Xa and Factor Va, enabled the assembly of prothrombinase.Entities:
