Heparin-induced thrombocytopenia (HIT) and thrombosis are serious complications of heparin therapy. Recently, we have reported a practical and rapid functional flow cytometric assay (FCA) for the diagnosis of HIT with high specificity and sensitivity compared with the radioactive serotonin-release a
A new procedure for the preparation of human platelets consistently sensitive to platelet-activating factor (PAF) in the low nanomolar range has been developed. Key to the success of this approach was the addition of adenosine during the isolation phase, providing an excellent recovery of stable cel
