Measuring platelet and leucocyte aggregation/adhesion responses in very small volumes of whole blood

Journal of Pharmacological Methods

Abstract

A technique is described by which leucocyte and platelet aggregation may be measured in 100 microliter (or less) of citrated whole blood. The blood is first diluted in a balanced salt solution and aggregation responses measured with an electronic aggregometer. Leucocytes may be aggregated with substances such as the chemotactic peptide f-met-leu-phe, and platelets with the conventional agents such as ADP or collagen. The response of the leucocytes to f-met-leu-phe is very sensitive to the inhibitory activity of mepacrine. The aggregation of platelets, but not leucocytes, is blocked by low concentrations of indomethacin. The technique is useful for drug screening, diagnostic purposes, ad investigating platelet and leucocyte pharmacology and physiology.

Adhesion Molecules in Health and Disease

Cell adhesion molecules are a subset of cell adhesion proteins located on the cell surface involved in binding with other cells or with the extracellular matrix in the process called cell adhesion. In essence, cell adhesion molecules help cells stick to each other and to their surroundings. Cell adhesion is a crucial component in maintaining tissue structure and function. Discover the latest research on adhesion molecule and their role in health and disease here.
