Abstract
A parallel-plate flow chamber and epifluorescence video microscopy with digital image processing techniques were used to investigate the mechanisms of mural thrombus formation and to evaluate new potentially useful antithrombotic agents under controlled physiological flow.
We examined the role of the interaction of a plasma multimeric protein, von Willebrand factor (vWF), with the two platelet receptors, glycoprotein (GP) Ib and the GP IIb-IIIa complex, in mediating platelet adhesion and subsequent platelet aggregation on a surface of bovine fibrillar type I collagen exposed to citrated, or heparinized, whole blood with flourescently-labeled platelets at wall shear rates of 100 sec
