Measuring Heterogeneity in Platelet Activation

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
To better understand the heterogeneity in platelet timing, we measured the time at which single platelets in a 3D clotting environment exposed phosphatidylserine on their outer surface. Phosphatidylserine is a commonly used marker of platelet activation and more broadly of cellular apoptosis. Starting from isolated platelet rich plasma, live platelets were stained with a 1μM Calcien AM (ThermoFisher, L3224) at room temperature for 15 mins. Phosphatidylserine was measured with Annexin V-AF568 (1:20) (ThermoFisher, A13202) and 3d image stacks were collected using a Perkin Elmer UltraVIEW VoX spinning disk confocal with a 20× / 0.75NA objective.
The percentage of PS positive platelets was measured using Volocity 3D imaging software. Platelets stained with calcien were counted at the beginning and end of the experiment with the Volocity built in function, “find objects”, which allowed for consistent tracking of platelet count ensuring experimental platelet count did not change over the course of the experiment. The “find objects” feature was then used to track PS exposed platelets stained with Annexin V-AF568 at each time point. PS exposure data was reported as the percentage of platelets that were PS exposed.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
