Observations on the "cytoskeleton" of human platelets

V T Nachmias et al. Thromb Haemost. .

Abstract

Structural study of rapidly lysed platelets supports the view that that shape change involves a change in state of the microfilaments which contain actin. The microtubule "bundle" appears to be a continuous coil. Proteolysis of a high molecular weight band is observed in platelets which can no longer form filopodia after suppression by local anesthetics.
