Effects of matrix contact during gel filtration of human platelets in plasma. 1976

J N Lindon, and R Rodvien, and D F Waugh

When gel filtration is used to transfer platelets from plasma into an established environment, alterations in platelet characteristics may result from the change in environment or from the effects of platelet contact with the gel matrix. To approach the problem of evaluating the relative contributions from these sources, a Sepharose 2B matrix was employed and platelets transferred from citrate anticoagulated PRP into autologous PPP to yield plasma-GFP. Platelet recoveries averaged 93%. PRP: plasma-GFP pairs were found to be indistinguishable with respect to: morphology; ADP, thrombin or collagen-induced aggregation response; uptake of 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) or adenosine; and thrombin or collagen-induced release of accumulated 5-HT or adenosine. Pairs are distinguishable by prostaglandin E2 synthesis assayed immediately after filtration.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D008855 Microscopy, Electron, Scanning Microscopy in which the object is examined directly by an electron beam scanning the specimen point-by-point. The image is constructed by detecting the products of specimen interactions that are projected above the plane of the sample, such as backscattered electrons. Although SCANNING TRANSMISSION ELECTRON MICROSCOPY also scans the specimen point by point with the electron beam, the image is constructed by detecting the electrons, or their interaction products that are transmitted through the sample plane, so that is a form of TRANSMISSION ELECTRON MICROSCOPY.

D010974 Platelet Aggregation The attachment of PLATELETS to one another. This clumping together can be induced by a number of agents (e.g., THROMBIN; COLLAGEN) and is part of the mechanism leading to the formation of a THROMBUS. Aggregation, Platelet
D011458 Prostaglandins E (11 alpha,13E,15S)-11,15-Dihydroxy-9-oxoprost-13-en-1-oic acid (PGE(1)); (5Z,11 alpha,13E,15S)-11,15-dihydroxy-9-oxoprosta-5,13-dien-1-oic acid (PGE(2)); and (5Z,11 alpha,13E,15S,17Z)-11,15-dihydroxy-9-oxoprosta-5,13,17-trien-1-oic acid (PGE(3)). Three of the six naturally occurring prostaglandins. They are considered primary in that no one is derived from another in living organisms. Originally isolated from sheep seminal fluid and vesicles, they are found in many organs and tissues and play a major role in mediating various physiological activities. PGE
