Abstract:
We aimed to investigate the effects of integrin αIIbβ3 inhibitor tirofiban on hallmarks of platelet activation, degranulation, and aggregation during its use to analyze activated but non-complexed platelets via flow cytometry. To do so, we used washed platelets from healthy human donors. We combined aggregometry, an assay of platelet functionality, with flow cytometry and ELISA to detect and correlate, respectively, platelet aggregation, activation, and granule release. While tirofiban effective...     »
