Abstract

In this issue of Blood, Kolyada and colleagues elegantly demonstrate the therapeutic utility of a novel, synthetically constructed molecule, the A1 dimer (A1-A1), in preventing anti-β2 glycoprotein I (anti-β2GPI) autoantibody-mediated thrombosis in 2 distinct murine antiphospholipid syndrome (APS) thrombosis models. Current therapies for thrombotic APS entail long-term anticoagulation, with the associated risk of bleeding complications. The findings presented by Kolyada et al raise the possibility of perhaps using this agent to treat thrombotic APS patients in the future, allowing for a reduction in bleeding risk.1
