Caplacizumab (His Tag)
Based on 1 publication(s) in Google Scholar
Caplacizumab (His Tag) is a humanized anti-von Willebrand factor (vWF) nanobody. Caplacizumab (His Tag) inhibits the binding of vWF with platelet glycoprotein (GP) Ibα. Caplacizumab (His Tag) inhibits the vWF-mediated platelet adhesion and prevents further microthrombi formation. Caplacizumab (His Tag) can be used for the research of thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (TTP).

Caplacizumab (His Tag) inhibits the binding of VWF with platelet glycoprotein (GP) Ibα in blood specimens[2].
Caplacizumab (His Tag) (0.8 μg/mL) can completely inhibit platelet adhesion to the collagen surface at high shear rates (>1500 s-1)[4].
MedChemExpress (MCE) has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.
Caplacizumab (His Tag) (at plasma levels between 0.3-0.5 μg/mL, i.v. bolus) shows a strong antithrombotic effect in a modified Folts model in baboons[4].
Caplacizumab (His Tag) (5 mg/kg total dose with intravenous and subcutaneous injection; intravenous injection first and subcutaneous injections follow) prevents middle cerebral artery thrombosis in a guinea pig model of middle cerebral artery thrombosis, and reduces brain damage without inducing hemorrhage[5].

Animal Model:Guinea pig (Dunkin-Hartley, male, 350-400 g) model of middle cerebral artery thrombosis[5]
-
Dosage:5 mg/kg total dose (0.4 mg/kg intravenously + 1.6 mg/kg subcutaneously at time 0 followed by 3 mg/kg subcutaneously 6 h later)
-
Administration:Intravenous injection first and subcutaneous injections follow
-
Result:Prevented thrombosis when administered immediately after and 15 min after complete occlusion of the middle cerebral artery.
Reduced brain damage area and did not increase intracerebral hemorrhage.
Reduced microvascular thrombosis in the ischemic brain tissue.
