Development of a thrombin generation test in cultured endothelial cells: Evaluation of the prothrombotic effects of antiphospholipid antibodies

In this in vitro study, we demonstrate the feasibility of using thrombin generation test in cultured endothelial cells and suggest the need to realize adjustments to standardize results. The mechanism of prothrombotic states in APS requires endothelial dysfunction and platelet activation. The quantification of thrombin formation shows that APL incubation induces endothelial injury in cultured cells amplified by platelets.
