The results indicate that mAb SZ34 inhibited proteolytic cleavage of VWF by ADAMTS13 in a concentration-dependent manner under fluid shear stress, but not under static/denaturing conditions. We showed that the decreased amount of the high and intermediate molecular weight multimers were dramatically reduced by mAb SZ34 in a concentration-dependent manner under shear stress (Figure 2 ), further confirming the role of SZ34 in decreasing the susceptibility of VWF to proteolytic cleavage by ADAMTS13 under physiologically relevant conditions. ./cache/cord-000413-h2e6h076.txt ./txt/cord-000413-h2e6h076.txt
