The contribution of glycoprotein VI to stable platelet adhesion and thrombus formation illustrated by targeted gene deletion
13 May 2003
Abstract excerpt
Platelet interaction with exposed adhesive ligands at sites of vascular injury is required to initiate a normal hemostatic response and may become a pathogenic factor in arterial diseases leading to thrombosis. We report a targeted disruption in a key receptor for collagen-induced platelet activation, glycoprotein (GP) VI. The breeding of mice with heterozygous GP VI alleles produced the expected frequency of...
