Affinity for fXIa binding to fIX, fIXα, and fIXaβ
Using surface plasmon resonance, fXIa species (1 to 5000 nm) in Ca2+-containing HBS-P buffer were perfused across sensor chips coated with fIX, fIXα, or fIXaβ. HBS-P buffer without fXIa was then perfused for 10 min to follow dissociation. Data were corrected for nonspecific binding by subtracting signals obtained with analytes infused through a flow cell without coupled protein. Binding was analyzed using a bivalent binding model for all species except fXIa-CD/PK-HC and fXIa-CD, which were evaluated with a 1:1 binding model. Kd values were calculated from the quotient of the derived dissociation (kd) and association (ka) rate constants.
