Table 2. Disruption of caveolae does not affect the fXa inhibitory activity of endogenous TFPI.

Cells in suspension were treated with α-cyclodextrin (α-CD) or methyl-β-cyclodextrin (m-β-CD) and the fXa inhibition assay performed at the cellular equivalent of 100 µg/mL total protein. p > 0.05 between α-CD and m-β-CD treated cells of the same cell line, n = 6 for each cell line.
