15. A method for determining factor VIIa (fVIIa) enzymatic activity in a sample suspected to contain fVIIa, comprising:
-
(a) combining fVIIa and a molar excess of TF to produce a TF/fVIIa enzyme complex; and (b) detecting the enzymatic activity of the complex using a fluorogenic substrate or a chromogenic substrate. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29)
