Abstract excerpt
INTRODUCTION: Endothelial microparticles (EMP) are released into the circulation in case of endothelial disturbance, and are therefore increasingly investigated as a biomarker reflecting disease activity. Numerous pre-analytic methods have been proposed for their flow cytometric enumeration, but standardization is still lacking. In this study we evaluated the influence of centrifugation and storage conditions on...
