Abstract
Factor VIII-related antigen [FVIIIR:Ag] was previously shown to be synthesized by vascular endothelial cells. Using an immunofluorescent staining technique and EM, the presence of FVIIIR:Ag was demonstrated in human vascular subendothelium. This finding may have implications in the mechanism of platelet adhesion to deendothelialized blood vessel surfaces.
