We investigated the influence of anti‐β 2 ‐glycoprotein I (aGPI), which recently has come to be regarded as anti‐cardiolipin antibody (aCL) itself, on factor Va (FVa) degradation by activated protein C/protein S system. We found that aGPI had an inhibitory effect on FVa degradation with β 2 ‐glycoprotein I‐dependency, thus suggesting aGPI/aCL is a highly possible factor as the pathogenesis of thrombosis observed in aGPI/aCL‐positive patients. © 1995 Wiley‐Liss, Inc.
