Initiator for intrinsic coagulation system
PURPOSE: To obtain a reagent, having a short activation time and exhibiting high sensitivity to individual factors of coagulation cascade, while facilitating the handling by adding a mixture of sulfatides and solid activator, preferably kaolin. CONSTITUTION: A reagent contains a mixture of sulfatides, solid activator and a phospholipid. A short activation time when sulfatides is used for activating XII factor is not increased substantially, when sulfatides is used together with kaolin. Consequently, an operation with short incubation time, which is practical for routine inspection, can be realized using this reagent. By using an initiator for an activated thromdoplastin time (aPTT) reagent, the advantages of individual activators are combined, without combining the disadvantages thereof.
Background. ::: This study evaluated the inhibitory activity of somatostatin 14 on the angiogenesis of cornea in vivo.
