Abstract: A cDNA clone having a base sequence for human tissue factor inhibitor (TFI) has been developed and characterized and the amino acid sequence of the TFI has been determined.

Abstract: The disclosure describes the purification and isolation of a novel human protein Z-dependent protease inhibitor (ZPI) from plasma characterized as having a molecular weight of about 72 kDa, being a single chain protein with an N-terminal amino acid sequence of LAPSPQSPETPA, and which produces a rapid inhibition of factor Xa in the presence of human protein Z (PZ), calcium ions and cephalin. The disclosure further describes the isolation and cloning of the ZPI cDNA from a human cDNA library. The ZPI cDNA is 2.44 kb in length and has an open reading frame that encodes the 423 residue mature ZPI protein and a 21 residue signal peptide. PZ, ZPI and the combination of PZ and ZPI are used to inhibit blood coagulation.

Abstract: Molecules, such as antibodies, with binding specificity for Tissue factor Inhibitor (TFI) or for polypeptides comprising one or more Kunitz domains of TFI can be used in methods to detect TFI or polypeptides containing a Kunitz domain of TFI in biological fluids. Either direct or indirect detection methods can be carried out.
