A simple radiochemical assay of thromboxane B2, 12-hydroxyeicosatetraenoic acid (HETE) and 12-hydroxyheptadecatrienoic acid (HHT) synthetized by human platelets. 1977

M Lagarde, and A Gharib, and M Dechavanne

A simple radiochemical assay of thromboxane B2, 12-hydroxyeicosatetraenoic acid (HETE) and 12-hydroxyheptadecatrienoic acid (HHT) produced by platelets from arachidonic acid has been described. Moreover, this assay is suitable for measuring thromboxane A2 trapped as 11-mono-O-methylthromboxane B2 and minor products such as prostaglandins E2, F2alpha and D2. The advantage of this technique is discussed as to its ease and specificity.
