Shape change reaction of platelets in protein-free medium: ultramorphology
Abstract
Transmission and scanning electron microscopy indicate that rabbit platelets incubated in protein-poor medium retain their reactivity to shape change-inducing agents such as 5-hydroxytryptamine, adenosine-5'-diphosphate and chlorpromazine. Such platelets may be used as models for drug-membrane interactions, e.g. in neuronal cells.
