Functional display of platelet-binding VWF fragments on filamentous bacteriophage.

von Willebrand factor (VWF) tethers platelets to sites of vascular injury via interaction with the platelet surface receptor, GPIb. To further define the VWF sequences required for VWF-platelet interaction, a phage library displaying random VWF protein fragments was screened against formalin-fixed p...
