Fate of Thrombin and Thrombin-Antithrombin-III Complex Adsorbed to a Heparinized Biomaterial: Analysis of the Enzyme-Inhibitor Complexes Displaced by Plasma
Abstract
Heparin covalently-linked to polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) is a biomaterial which is of potential value as a non-thrombogenic coating. 125I-labelled thrombin adsorbed to heparin-PVA beads was not dislodged by phosphate-buffered saline, pH 7.4, although radioactivity was progressively displaced from the adsorbent by fibrinogen-free human plasma. Analysis by gel filtration and affinity chromatography showed that the released radioactivity was …
