title: [Study on the coagulant activity of human blood monocytes].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To investigate the coagulant and fibrinolytic activities of human blood monocytes.
  
  
  METHODS
  Cultured monocytes (2. 8 x 10(6) cells) were refrigerated at -20 degrees C and then thawed and centrifuged. Blood coagulant factors activities in the upper and lower layer of the supernatant were assayed and compared with that in the supernatant of white blood cells (containing 2. 8 x 10(6) cells).
  
  
  RESULTS
  There were factors II , VII, IX, X, V, and tissue factor activities in the supernatant, X III A : Ag was 2.1%, X III S : Ag : 2.8%, while t-PA : A and PAI : A were undetectable. In the lower layer there was no specific expression of blood coagulant factors.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  There were coagulant activities in the supernatant containing the membrane and cytoplasma of monocytes.
