Results are expressed as aPC-FV ratios (time obtained in the presence of aPC divided by the time obtained in absence of aPC) and are given as median value (range). Statistical analysis (Wilcoxon paired t-test): [1] v [2], [3] v [4], and [5]v [6]: P = .005; [1] v [3], [3] v [5], and [1] v [5]: P = .005. All other comparisons were nonsignificant.

Abbreviations: NP, normal plasma; NP-β2neg, normal plasma after β2-glycoprotein I depletion; LA, positive lupus anticoagulant; aCLAb, positive anticardiolipin IgG antibodies; aβ2GP1Ab, positive anti–β2-glycoprotein I IgG antibodies; aFIIAb, positive antiprothrombin IgG antibodies; aAnVAb, anti-annexin V IgG antibodies.
