Interference of leptospirosis organ extracts on the activity of prothrombinase complex. Lungs, kidneys, and livers extracts of Leptospira-infected hamsters at day 8 or non-infected (ni.) animals were mixed with FXa, FVa, and PCPS in buffer containing calcium. After 30 min incubation at 37°C, FII was added and its conversion to thrombin was measured as cleavage of the chromogenic substrate (OD = 405 nm) at different time points (A). In (B), the bars represent the absorbance obtained 30 min after FII addition. The values represent the mean ± standard deviation of triplicates and are representative of two independent experiments.
