Abstract
A factor derived from blood platelets has been shown to be necessary for the activation of the L. E. cell factor. This L. E. cell cofactor may be identical with the platelet thromboplastic factor. The relation of these findings to occurrence of the L. E. cell phenomenon in vivo and to the occurrence of a coagulation defect in systemic L. E. has been discussed.Keywords
