^ Jlood coagulation proceeds through a series of reactions in which plasma zymogens of serine enzymes are sequentially activated by limited proteolytic cleavage. Mechanistically, the initiation of coagulation has been separated into two pathways,“extrinsic” and “intrinsic”, that converge at the activation of factor X with subsequent generation of thrombin proceeding through a single,“common”, pathway (MacFarlane, 1964; Davie & Ratnoff, 1964)(Figure 1). In the extrinsic pathway, factor VIIa boundto its cofactor, tissue factor (TF), can ac-tivate factor X directly. In the intrinsic pathway, exposure of the contact factors (factor XII, prekallikrein, and high molecular weight kininogen) to a negatively charged surface leads to the activation of factor XI with subsequent activation of factor IX. Activated factor IX, in the presence of its co-factor factor VIII, then cleaves factor X to factor Xa. Since people individually deficient in one of the contact factors do not bleed, it appears most likely that the extrinsic, or TF-mediated, pathway provides the trigger for physiologic coagulation in vivo. Whereas factor VII and TF may be responsible for the initiation of coagulation, however, it is clear that the generation of factor Xa by the factor VIIa/TF catalytic complex alone is not sufficient forultimate hemostasis since hemophiliacs, who lack either factor IX or factor VIII, suffer a severe hemorrhagic diathesis. The in vivo requirement for additional factor Xa produced through the action of factors VIII and IXa may be explained by a novel inhibitor that produces feedback inhibition of the VIIa/TF complex. This inhibitor has most recently been called extrinsic pathway in-hibitor (EPI)(Rao & Rapaport, 1987) or lipoprotein-asso-ciated coagulation inhibitor (LACI)(Broze et al., 1987a). An excellent review of the subject has been published previously (Rapaport, 1989).
