There is a strong link between antiphospholipid antibodies and stroke. The mechanism of action of antiphospholipid antibodies is unknown. Most theories of pathogenesis center around platelet or endothelial cell dysfunction. Our aim was to determine if there were immunoglobulins in the sera of patients with antiphospholipid antibodies that bind human brain microvascular endothelial cells.
