Studies on immunological assay of vitamin K dependent factors. II. Comparison of four immunoassay methods with functional activity of protein C in human plasma.

abstract：:Neutrophils are amongst the first immune cells to arrive at sites of infection and play an important role as the host's first line of defence against invading pathogens. Defects of neutrophil number or function are usually recognized clinically by recurrent infections that often are life-threatening. Over the last few...
