Activation of blood coagulation is a common complication of cancer in man and experimental animals. The causes of such activation may be multifactorial, but increased production of tissue factor (TF) by the host mononuclear cells may be involved. TF is not only produced by human monocytes (mTF) and
Tissue factor (TF) is the main physiological initiator of blood coagulation and may be important in the biology of a variety of solid malignancies, particularly where angiogenesis is a critical factor. TF is frequently encrypted in the plasma membrane of cells in contact with blood, and is exposed o
