Interlaboratory variability of activated protein C resistance using the ETP‐based APC resistance assay
Abstract Background and objective Although the endogenous thrombin potential (ETP)‐based activated protein C (APC) resistance is recommended for the development of steroid contraceptive agents, one of the main limitations of this technique was its lack of standardization, which hampered study‐to‐stu...
