Abstract

Background: Annexin V (AnxV) has potent anticoagulant properties and regulatory functions for apoptosis and inflammation. Antibodies against annexin V (anti-AnxVs) may inhibit AnxV functions, leading to thrombosis during autoimmune diseases. Type 1 diabetes is an autoimmune disease and related with an ongoing autoimmune inflammation and thrombotic complications. There is no study evaluating anti-AnxVs/AnxV in a disease setting.
