Median ADAMTS13 activity, ADAMTS13 antigen, and anti-ADAMTS13 IgG antibody levels in patient samples with open and closed conformations using peak ADAMTS13 activity

Cases with an open ADAMTS13 conformation at peak ADAMTS13 activity had normal but significantly lower ADAMTS13 activity than cases with a closed conformation. No discernible difference in anti-ADAMTS13 IgG antibody and ADAMTS13 antigen was observed.
