title: Specificity of protein C and protein S assays.
abstract: Specific tests for the measurement of protein C antigen and activity and protein S antigen are used in the clinical laboratory for the routine diagnosis of hereditary protein C and protein S deficiency. The performance of these tests is reviewed and discussed. Special attention is paid to the application of these tests for the analysis of patients on oral anticoagulant therapy.
