Human platelet-poor plasma (PPP) was prepared and clotting time measured as previously described [4 (link)]. Plasma (50 μl) was incubated with HBS, or 5 μM SCP (50 μl) in HBS, for 3 min at 37°C in coagulometer cuvettes. Subsequently, 50 μl of CaCl2 (8.3 mM final) and diluted Innovin (8 pM final TF concentration) were added, and time to clot formation was measured with a KC4 Coagulation Analyzer (Trinity Biotech, Ireland). In selected experiments, FXI- or FIX-depleted PPP was used.
