Effect of homocysteine on vWF multimerization. HUVEC cultured in the absence or presence of 5.0 mmol/L homocysteine for 1, 2, 4, 8, or 18 hours were denatured in lysis buffer, the lysates fractionated on 1.2% (wt/vol) agarose gels and transferred to nitrocellulose. vWF monomers, dimers, and multimers were detected by immunoblotting using anti-vWF antibodies.
