Department of Medicine, University of Western Australia, Perth.

The aggregation/adhesion response to platelet activating factor (PAF) was studied in diluted whole blood by impedance aggregometry. The extent of aggregation varied directly with the interval between blood sampling and aggregation measurement over the first 30 minutes from sampling, then remained stable for the next 60 minutes of observation. This is an effect opposite to that described for aggregation to PAF in platelet rich plasma which, however, cannot be studied soon after sampling. Time dependence of aggregation is important and comparative measurements should be made during the period of stable aggregability.

D010972 Platelet Activating Factor A phospholipid derivative formed by PLATELETS; BASOPHILS; NEUTROPHILS; MONOCYTES; and MACROPHAGES. It is a potent platelet aggregating agent and inducer of systemic anaphylactic symptoms, including HYPOTENSION; THROMBOCYTOPENIA; NEUTROPENIA; and BRONCHOCONSTRICTION.

D010973 Platelet Adhesiveness The process whereby PLATELETS adhere to something other than platelets, e.g., COLLAGEN; BASEMENT MEMBRANE; MICROFIBRILS; or other "foreign" surfaces. Adhesiveness, Platelet,Adhesivenesses, Platelet,Platelet Adhesivenesses
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
