Roles of coagulation factor XIII in the functions of blood platelets
Activated blood coagulation factor XIII (FXIIIa) is a transglutaminase that stabilises fibrin clots and associates with platelets. In the present study, the role of factor XIII (FXIII) in modulating physiological platelet functional responses including adhesion, signal transduction and spreading …

Roles of coagulation factor XIII in the functions of blood platelets
… of blood platelets and soluble coagulation factors in forming blood clots at sites of vascular injury. Platelets are recruited from flowing blood and become activated to fulfil their haemostatic roles (Marcus, 1969, Ruggeri and Mendolicchio, 2007). Coagulation factors are also spatially …

Gene transfer of keratinocytes with a human Factor XIII - plasmid construct
Factor XIII (plasma transgutaminase) is essential to the clotting process. It catalyses the cross-links between the fibrin monomers, in consequence of the forming fibrin clot achieves an improved stability and a high fibrinolysis resistance. This provides a provisional matrix for the cell migration …

Assessing gene expression of coagulation factors and Factor XIII polymorphisms in type 2 diabetes mellitus patients
… was to assess the mRNA levels of coagulation factors and the identification of two FXIII SNPs (Val34Leu and Tyr204Phe) in T2DM patients (n=100) compared to controls (n=100). Methodology: Thromboelastography (TEG) was used to assess the viscoelastic properties of pre-selected clot parameters. …

Viscoelastic haemostatic assays and fibrinogen concentration tests during haemodilution: The effects of fibrinogen and factor XIII
… The efficacy of concentrates of fibrinogen and factor XIII in hypothermia and haemodilution has not yet been completely investigated. Clauss methods have not previously been evaluated perioperatively. Methods: Coagulation was assessed with rotational thromboelastometry (ROTEM) or free …

Evaluation of the Role of Endogenous Factor XIII as a Determinant of Bleeding-Related Outcomes and Death Among Severely Injured Patients
… by reducing clot destruction with coagulation factors such as factor XIII (FXIII). Lower serum FXIII levels can cause reduced clot stability and premature clot breakdown. We hypothesize that lower FXIII levels result in worse bleeding-related outcomes and death. To test the hypothesis, we first …

An integrated process for the recovery of clinically significant trace proteins from human plasma
Methods for the preparation of concentrates of factor VIII, factor IX, high purity factor IX, Cl esterase inhibitor, specific immunoglobulin and platelet factor XIII are described. These procedures were developed or modified with the aim of integration into an automated process that would allow …

Autologous Fibrinogen Purification and Concentration For Use in Fibrin Sealant
… In addition, it was shown that almost 50% of the factor XIII in the plasma was also precipitated along with the fibrinogen. The tensile and adhesion strengths and kinetics of fibrin sealant prepared from protamine-fibrinogen concentrate were evaluated. Tensile strength and adhesion strength both …

Proteases of the neutrophil membrane represent an alternative fibrinolytic pathway to that mediated by plasmin
… products in a process dependent on calcium and factor XIII. The reformed products have a similar molecular weight to those produced by plasmic lysis of fibrin, as well as a putative crosslinked site. However, the isoelectric point of these reformed products indicates they are distinctly …

Design, Synthesis and Evaluation of Covalent Inhibitors for Tissue Transglutaminase and Factor XIIIa
… human tissue transglutaminase (hTG2) and human factor XIIIa (FXIIIa). Divided into two projects for each enzyme, the main objective of this thesis was directed towards the discovery of potent and selective covalent inhibitors for each isozyme, namely hTG2 and hFXIIIa. The first project was …
