To clarify the involvement of annexin V (ANX) in antiphospholipid antibody (APA) specificities, we studied antiANX antibodies (aANX) using 2 kinds of enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay plates (plain and gamma-irradiated) and anti-beta 2-glycoprotein I antibodies (a-beta 2GPI) in 53 patients with antiphospholipid syndrome (APS). The incidence of aANX IgG-positive results in the autoimmune APS group was significantly higher than that of healthy control subjects. However, we could not demonstrate a significantly higher incidence in the infection- or drug-induced group. Nor could we find an increased incidence of IgM isotype. When the 2 plates were compared, the discrepancies of positivity were demonstrated in both isotypes. We speculated that these discrepancies between the plate surfaces were attributed to the altered antigenicity of ANX. Although positivity of a-beta 2GPI was associated significantly with clinical manifestations, no significant associations were demonstrated between the incidence of aANX-positive results and clinical manifestations. We inferred that the involvement of aANX in the pathogenic mechanism of APS is unlikely.

D008875 Middle Aged An adult aged 45 - 64 years. Middle Age
D010314 Partial Thromboplastin Time The time required for the appearance of FIBRIN strands following the mixing of PLASMA with phospholipid platelet substitute (e.g., crude cephalins, soybean phosphatides). It is a test of the intrinsic pathway (factors VIII, IX, XI, and XII) and the common pathway (fibrinogen, prothrombin, factors V and X) of BLOOD COAGULATION. It is used as a screening test and to monitor HEPARIN therapy.

D011517 Prothrombin Time Clotting time of PLASMA recalcified in the presence of excess TISSUE THROMBOPLASTIN. Factors measured are FIBRINOGEN; PROTHROMBIN; FACTOR V; FACTOR VII; and FACTOR X. It is used for monitoring anticoagulant therapy with COUMARINS.

D004797 Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay An immunoassay utilizing an antibody labeled with an enzyme marker such as horseradish peroxidase. While either the enzyme or the antibody is bound to an immunosorbent substrate, they both retain their biologic activity; the change in enzyme activity as a result of the enzyme-antibody-antigen reaction is proportional to the concentration of the antigen and can be measured spectrophotometrically or with the naked eye. Many variations of the method have been developed.
