Abstract 2205 Background: Antiphospholipid syndrome (APS) is an autoimmune disease with clinical features of thrombosis and pregnancy loss. Beta2-glycoprotein I (B2GPI) is the major antigen for APS-related antibodies. We engineered a polypeptide consisting of two ligand-binding A1 modules from the ApoE receptor 2. Previously, we demonstrated that this polypeptide, A1-A1, preferentially binds B2GPI/antibody complexes compared to B2GPI alone and efficiently inhibits the binding of B2GPI/antibody… CONTINUE READING
