Platelet Function Determined by Flow Cytometry: New Perspectives?
Flow cytometry enables studies of several different aspects of platelet function in response to a variety of platelet agonists. This can be done using only a small volume of whole blood, and also in blood with low platelet counts. These properties, together with the increasing number of flow cytometers available in hospitals worldwide, make flow cytometry an interesting option for laboratories ...
متن کاملA novel flow cytometry-based platelet aggregation assay.
The main function of platelets is to maintain normal hemostasis. Inefficient platelet production and/or defective platelet function results in bleeding disorders resulting from a wide range of genetic traits and acquired pathologies. Several platelet function tests have been developed for use in the clinic and in experimental animal models. In particular, platelet aggregation is routinely measu...
متن کاملFlow cytometry test for hereditary spherocytosis.
We read with interest the recent article of Bianchi et al. published in Haematologica that compared laboratory tests for hereditary spherocytosis (HS) in 150 patients. The authors reported the usefulness of the eosine-5maleimide binding (EMA) test in the diagnosis of HS with high sensitivity and specificity, and confirmed, as we had previously reported, that this test was independent of the typ...
متن کاملFlow cytometry for diepoxybutane test analysis.
The main feature of Fanconi anemia (FA) is the high sensitivity of the cells to the clastogenic agent, diepoxybutane (DEB). Thus, differential diagnosis of this syndrome can be made by cytogenetic analysis; adding DEB to lymphocytes in culture (DEB test) increases the number of chromosome breaks. Fanconi anemia cells have an abnormal cell cycle, with an increased frequency of cells arrested at ...
متن کاملEvaluation of platelet glycoprotein Ib by fluorescence flow cytometry.
Platelet glycoprotein Ib (GpIb), a receptor for von Willebrand's factor (vWF), was studied by way of fluorescence flow cytometry. Using a sandwich staining technique, GpIb was identified by a monoclonal antibody (6D1) directed against an epitope close to the vWF binding site. Platelets from normal individuals were symmetrically distributed with respect to GpIb content. Treatment of washed plate...
