Journal ArticleDOI

Anti-phospholipid antibodies are directed against a complex antigen that includes a lipid-binding inhibitor of coagulation: beta 2-glycoprotein I (apolipoprotein H).

TL;DR: N-terminal region sequence analysis of the molecule has identified the cofactor as beta 2-glycoprotein I (beta 2GPI) (apolipoprotein H), a plasma protein known to bind to anionic phospholipids, indicating that the presence of beta 2G PI is an absolute requirement for antibody-phospholipid interaction.
Journal ArticleDOI

The Pathogenesis of the Antiphospholipid Syndrome

TL;DR: The antiphospholipid syndrome is a prothrombotic disorder associated with autoantibodies associated with obstetrical complications as well as venous and arterial thrombosis risks.
Book ChapterDOI

Immunology and clinical importance of antiphospholipid antibodies.

TL;DR: It is not generally recommended that this treatment be offered to individuals in whom aPL antibodies are detected but who have not suffered previous thromboses, since the risk of such events does not appear to be equal within a group of aPL antibody-positive persons.
