Von Willebrand Disease (VWD)
Part 4: VWF Multimer Analysis
The Role of von Willebrand Factor Multimer Analysis in Diagnosis
VWF Multimer Analysis: Mayo Autoradiograpy — Intermediate-Resolution Gel
July 2011
Shown on this slide is an example of von Willebrand factor multimers using our original radioactive method. The gels were exposed to x-ray film and subsequently developed for interpretation.
