Mechanism of activation of coagulation factor XI by factor XIIa studied with monoclonal antibodies.

Abstract

The interaction of Factor XIIa with Factor XI was investigated using two monoclonal antibodies, one (3Cl) directed against the heavy chain of Factor XIa and the other (5F4) against its light chain. 3C1 either as intact IgG or as Fab' fragment, enhanced the rate of Factor XIa generation in the fluid phase but inhibited it in the presence of kaolin and high molecular weight (HMW) kininogen. In contrast, the Fab' fragments of 5F4 inhibited only the fluid phase activation and had no effect on the surface-mediated activation. 3C1 was found to block the binding of Factor XI to HMW kininogen, whereas 5F4 did not. We conclude: a domain on the heavy chain region of Factor XI is essential for binding to HMW kininogen and for optimal surface-mediated activation by Factor XIIa; and binding of 3C1 to Factor XI changes its conformation rendering it a more favorable substrate for Factor XIIa in the fluid phase.

Usage information is collected from two different sources: this site (JCI) and Pubmed Central (PMC). JCI information (compiled daily) shows human readership based on methods we employ to screen out robotic usage. PMC information (aggregated monthly) is also similarly screened of robotic usage.

Various methods are used to distinguish robotic usage. For example, Google automatically scans articles to add to its search index and identifies itself as robotic; other services might not clearly identify themselves as robotic, or they are new or unknown as robotic. Because this activity can be misinterpreted as human readership, data may be re-processed periodically to reflect an improved understanding of robotic activity. Because of these factors, readers should consider usage information illustrative but subject to change.
