ELISA Diagnostic Technology - von Willebrand Factor Activity
von Willebrand Factor Activity Test is an ELISA for detecting VWF activity in citrated human plasma. A purified monoclonal antibody which recognizes a functional epitope on the vWF antigen is used to measure vWF activity (function), rather than total vWF concentration.

HEMOSTASIS
von Willebrand Factor (VWF) is a pro-coagulant protein which plays an important role in hemostasis. von Willebrand disease, (vWD), the most common inherited bleeding disorder, is caused by either quantitative (Type I) or qualitative (Type II) deficiency. Both quantitative (antigenic) and qualitative (functional) assays are important in the diagnosis and treatment of vWD.
