Table 2 APTT-based Lupus Ratio before and after the addition of polybrene and heparin. APTT-based Lupus Ratios were determined in LA-positive and LA-negative patient plasmas before and after the addition of polybrene 7.9 μg/ml and/or heparin 1.0 U/ml. APTT-based Lupus Ratio <1.05 = negative result.
