In vivo, platelets associate with neutrophils at sites of hemorrhage or inflammation. In vitro, stimulated platelets bind to neutrophils in a Ca2(+)-dependent manner. GMP-140, an integral membrane glycoprotein found in secretory granules of platelets and endothelium, is rapidly translocated to the cell surface after cellular activation. It shares sequence similarity with two leukocyte adhesion ...
