Quantitative displacement of annexin-V from the PS/PC phospholipid bilayers by aPL IgG preparations in the presence of β2-GPI cofactor. The combination of aPL IgG with β2-GPI significantly displace annexin-V from the bilayers as compared with control IgG with β2-GPI. The mean (±SEM) quantity of annexin-V displaced by three different aPL syndrome patients’ IgG fractions was 0.115 ± 0.014 μg/cm2 as compared with no significant displacement by three different control IgG preparations (0.005 ± 0.007 μg/cm2, P = .002). These data demonstrate the displacement of annexin-V from the phospholipid bilayer surface by aPL IgG in the presence of β2-GPI.
