[Immunoelectrophoretic method for the determination of factor VIII-related antigens].
Immunological examination of F VIII related antigen gave some new information on the nature of congenital defects of F VIII, in haemophilia A and von Willenrand's disease. Besides classic method in diagnostics of von Willebrand's disease, the determination of F VIII related antigen can be used as a diagnostic criterium in distinguishing von Willebrand's disease from some mild forms of haemophilis, as well as in detection of haemophilia carrier. In addition, the study on the relationship of immunological value of F VIII related antigen and biological activity of F VIII offers more data on the possibility of detection of so-called "hypercoagulability" and states proceeding thrombosis. The method for determination of F VIII related antigen (Rocket electrophoresis--Laurel) as well as the values of F VIII in health persons of our population is described in this paper.
