Beschreibung
Plättchenfaktor 4 (PF4; auch bekannt als CXCL4) wird in Megakaryozyten und Plättchen (Thrombozyten) exprimiert. PF4-Monomere bestehen aus 70 Aminosäuren, was einem Molekulargewicht von 7.8 kDa entspricht. Unter verschiedenen Bedingungen (Proteinkonzentration, pH Wert etc.), kommt PF4 als Mono-,Di-, Tri-, oder Tetramer vor. Als Tetramer (biologisch aktive Form) ist PF4 an der Blutgerinnung und Wundheilung, aber auch an Entzündungsreaktionen beteiligt. Zusammen mit Heparin, stellen PF4-Tetramere (PF4/Heparin-Komplex) ein wichtiges Antigen von Antikörpern dar, welche eine Heparin-induzierten Thrombozytopenie (HIT) auslösen können. Aufgereinigtes PF4 wird daher zum Nachweis von HIT-Antikörpern in verschiedenen Labortests verwendet.
*Die Herstellung von PF4 und die Qualitätskontrollen werden in Zusammenarbeit mit dem Institut für Immunologie und Transfusionsmedizin (Abteilung Transfusionsmedizin) der Universitätsmedizin Greifswald durchgeführt.
