Abstract excerpt
Intracellular Ca2+ elevation generates a cascade of events that leads to platelet activation and degranulation. The GPIIbIIIa-ligand molecular complex plays a central role in several aspects of platelet activation. Taking advantage of the flow cytometric simultaneous analysis of surface GPIIbIIIa expression and intracellular serotonin content, we demonstrate here that the functional inhibition of GPIIbIIIa...
