Although platelet-activating factor (PAF) is implicated as an important mediator in the pathogenesis of hepatic ischemia-reperfusion (IR) injury, the precise mechanism of its action has not been studied. We examined the hypothesis that PAF may influence neutrophils by promoting the production of tum
The heavy chain of platelet glycoprotein Ib (GPIb) contains two prevalent sequence polymorphisms. The first, Thr/Met 145 is responsible for the human platelet alloantigen system, human platelet antigen (HPA)-2. The second is a tandem repeat polymorphism that consists of four variants, A, B, C, and D
