Abstract
It was found that the use of a phospholipid dependent prothrombin activator purified from the venom of snakes belonging to the Elapidae family, especially members of the Oxyaranus and Psuedonaja genera is most useful in tests for the determination of Lupus Anticoagulant. Based on this, several clotting, chromogenic aria immunochromogenic tests have been developped.
