Usage: Von Willebrand factor plays a key role in Primary & Secondary hemostasis. In the latter role, it serves as a carrier protein for Factor VIII. It is the most common inherited bleeding disorder characterized by easy bruising and prolonged bleeding from mucosal surfaces. Von Willebrand factor collagen binding activity (vWF: CB) is used as a supplemental assay to factor VIII activity, vWF: Ag, and vWF: RCo assays in typing of vWD. vWF: CB is a measure of vWF interaction with the subendothelial collagen and shows preferential sensitivity to high molecular weight multimers (HMWM). It helps to distinguish vWD types 2A & 2B from 2M.
