Assay Method Information

Assay Name:  PRP Assay
Description:  Briefly, PRP or washed platelet suspension (100 μl) was pre-incubated for 5 minutes at room temperature with varying concentrations of compounds. Aggregation was initiated by 10-50 nM gamma thrombin (Haematologic Technologies, Essex Junction, Vt.), which was titrated daily to achieve 80% platelet aggregation. Refludan at 1 U/mL (Berlex, Montville, N.J.) was added to the gamma thrombin sample to prevent PAR1 activation induced by residual alpha-thrombin contamination. The plate was then placed into a 37° C. Molecular Devices (Sunnyvale, Calif.) SPECTRAMAX Plus Plate Reader. The plate was mixed for 10 seconds before the first read and 50 seconds between each read for up to 15 minutes at 405 nM.
