Informations
LA are heterogeneous autoantibodies of IgG and IgM type directly directed against a variety of anionic phospholipids such as cardiolipin, phosphatidylserine or phosphatidylinositol or against proteins having the capacity to bind to phospholipids such as β2-glycoprotein I (β2-GPI ).
LA are characterized by their ability to prolong clotting time in in vitro tests such as lupus-specific TCA, Kaolin partial thromboplastin time, dRVVT, and diluted prothrombin time (dPT).
