aVWF : Ag levels in neat sample that was measured by immunoturbidimetric assay using Hemosil von Willebrand Factor Antigen kit from Instrumentation Laboratory, Italy. b,c,dEstimated VWF : Ag levels in 1 : 2, 1 : 4, and 1 : 8 diluted samples (i.e., by dividing the VWF : Ag levels of neat sample by the dilution factors of 2, 4, and 8, respectively. ePositive (+) and negative (−) reactions observed when neat and diluted samples were tested by using latex agglutination test. VWF : Ag: von Willebrand factor antigen; LAT: latex agglutination test. |
