Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Extracellular histones exert part of their prothrombotic activity through the stimulation of blood cells. Besides platelets, histones can bind to red blood cells (RBCs), which are important contributors to thrombogenesis, but little is known about the functional consequences of this interaction. OBJECTIVES: To evaluate the effect of histones on the procoagulant potential of human RBCs with particular...
