Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: In our previous in vitro study, we reported a constitutively active chimeric P2Y(12) (cP2Y(12)) and found that AR-C78511 is a potent inverse agonist at this receptor. The role of cP2Y(12) in platelet activation and thrombosis is not clear. OBJECTIVES: To investigate the physiologic implications of cP2Y(12) for platelet activation and thrombus formation, and to evaluate the antiplatelet activity of...
