METHODS AND KITS FOR ASSESSING HEPARANASE PROCOAGULANT ACTIVITY, COMPOSITIONS COMPRISING HEPARANASE, AND METHODS FOR THE TREATMENT OF COAGULATION-RELATED DISORDERS
The present invention relates to methods and kits for determining heparanase procoagulant activity in a biological sample. The invention also relates to diagnostic methods for the detection and/or monitoring of a coagulation-related pathologic disorder in a mammalian subject. The invention further relates to compositions comprising heparanase and at least one tissue factor, uses and methods based thereon in the treatment, amelioration and prevention of coagulation-related pathologic conditions. The invention still further relates to methods for screening a coagulation modulatory compound, methods and uses based thereon in the treatment, amelioration and prevention of coagulation-related pathologic conditions.
