A linear relationship was demonstrated between the reciprocals of the concentration of free hematoporphyrin and the moles of hematoporphyrin taken up by the platelet in the dark. Radiated platelets took up more hematoporphyrin than did controls; this increase in uptake was accounted for by the movem

β¦ Synopsis
Human platelets, exposed to hematoporphyrin and light, were depleted of potassium and acid phosphatase. A linear relationship was demonstrated between the per cent depletion of potassium from irradiated platelets and the log dose of hematoporphyrin. The initial release of potassium and acid phosphatase from irradiated platelets was first order. Rate constants demonstrated that potassium was released five times faster than acid phosphatase. At (4^{\circ} \mathrm{C}), release of both potassium and acid phosphatase was the same as at (37^{\circ} \mathrm{C}). These results are compared to previous data on the release of serotonin from irradiated platelets.

## Abstract Native (n) but not single stranded (ss) DNA was found to induce release of ^3^Hβserotonin (5βHT) from platelets of the majority of normal individuals. However, ssDNA markedly enhanced 5βHT release induced by heatβaggregated IgG (aggIgG), while less enhancement was seen using nDNA. Simil
