A novel monoclonal antibody against the von Willebrand Factor A2 domain reduces its cleavage by ADAMTS13

Abstract We developed a novel murine monoclonal antibody (mAb) against the C-terminal α-helix of the human von Willebrand factor A2, designated SZ-179. We showed that SZ-179 inhibited the interactions between VWF and ADAMTS13 and prevented the degradation of high molecular weight VWF multimers. Impo...
