Background: Thrombomodulin/BDCA-3

Encoded by the THBD gene, Thrombomodulin is also known as CD141 antigen and blood dendritic cell antigen 3 (BDCA-3). The deduced amino acid (aa) sequence of human THBD (Accession # P07204) predicts a signal peptide (aa 1-18) and a mature chain (aa 19‑575) that consists of following domains: C‑type lectin (aa 31-169), EGF-like (aa 241-281, aa 284-324, aa 325-363, aa 365‑405, aa 404‑440, and aa 441‑481), transmembrane (aa 516 to 539) and cytoplasmic (aa 540‑575). The R&D Systems recombinant human THBD consists of aa 19-515, corresponding to the extracellular portion of the type I membrane protein. Predominantly synthesized by vascular endothelial cells, THBD inhibits coagulation and fibrinolysis (1‑3). It functions as a cell surface receptor and an essential cofactor for active thrombin, which in turn activates protein C and thrombin-activatable fibrinolysis inhibitor (TAFI), also known as carboxypeptidase B2 (CPB2). Activated protein C (APC), facilitated by protein S, degrades coagulation factors Va and VIIIa, which are required for thrombin activation. Activated CPB2 cleaves basic C‑terminal aa residues of its substrates, including fibrin, preventing the conversion of plasminogen to plasmin. In addition, THBD gene polymorphisims are associated with human disease and THBD plays a role in thrombosis, stroke, arteriosclerosis, and cancer (4). For example, increased serum levels of THBD, due to protease cleavage, have been associated with smoking, cardiac surgery, atherosclerosis, liver cirrhosis, diabetes mellitus, cerebral and myocardial infarction, and multiple sclerosis (5).

  1. Dilute rhThrombin to 4 µg/mL in Activation Buffer.
  2. Dilute rhTHBD to 4 µg/mL in Activation Buffer.
  3. Dilute rhPROC to 40 µg/mL in Activation Buffer.
  4. Combine 25 µL of the diluted rhPROC, 12.5 µL of the diluted rhThrombin, and 12.5 µL of the diluted rhTHBD in a microfuge tube. Incubate for one hour at 37 °C to activate rhPROC. As a control combine 25 µL of the diluted rhPROC, 12.5 µL of the diluted rhThrombin, and 12.5 µL of Activation Buffer in a microfuge tube.

  6. Add and mix 50 µL of the diluted rhSerpin C1/heparin solution to the reaction vials. 
  7. Incubate at room temperature for 30 minutes to stop rhThrombin activity.
  8. Dilute the reaction mixture 1:5 in Assay Buffer.
