Table 4 RVVT-based Lupus Ratio before and after the addition of polybrene and heparin. RVVT-based Lupus Ratios were determined in LA-positive and LA-negative patient plasmas before and after the addition of polybrene 3.96 μg/ml and/or heparin 0.5 U/ml. RVVT-based Lupus Ratio <1.11 = negative result.
