Figure 5. Influence of recombinant salivary proteins on human coagulation system.
(A) Thrombin generation was initiated in human pooled normal plasma with 1 pM tissue factor (TF) in the presence of rP8 (orange), rP19 (green) or rP23 (red) and thrombin generation was measured using a fluorogenic substrate. (B) Lagtime, (C) time to peak (ttpeak) and (D) Endogenous Thrombin Potential (ETP) were measured. Unpaired t-test was used to determine statistical significance. Representatives of three experiments are shown. Results described represent the mean ± SEM.
