摘要:
Embodiments of the technology described herein are based upon the discoveries that neturophil extracellular traps (NETs) provide a stimulus for thrombus formation and that NETs are present in stored blood products. Accordingly, some embodiments relate to methods of treating and preventing toxicity of NETs and thrombosis caused by NETs. Additional embodiments are directed towards methods of treating stored blood products to prevent transfusion-related injuries.

摘要:
The invention relates generally to an anti-thrombotic treatment of occlusive syndromes in the cerebral vascular system causing cerebral infarct due to stroke or ischemic stroke, which is a major cause of death and permanent disability in industrialized countries. More particularly, the invention relates to a system and method of preventing and treating such occlusive syndromes in the cerebral vascular by inhibiting initial adhesion/attachment of platelets to the endothelium by preventing or inhibiting binding of von Willebrand factor to platelet glycoprotein Ib by administration of a subject in such need anti-glycoprotein Ib monovalent antibodies and/or anti-vWF monovalent antibodies, rather than by blocking the common pathway of platelet aggregation by blockade of platelet aggregation with anti-glycoprotein IIb/IIIa.
