DR. ROCK:
Now, cryosupernatant has the
advantage over fresh frozen plasma in that it
doesn't contain much von Willebrand factor to
begin with and selectively it contains fewer of
the larger molecular weight forms than does
plasma. And, of course, we found consistently
that while we don't see a particular pattern to
the multimers we do find that both von
Willebrand factor and factor eight are elevated
in all TTP patients and all HUS patients in the
adult series.
