We developed a method for differential staining of human platelets preserving their functional activity based on vital fl uorochrome stains trypafl avin and acridine orange. Platelets stained with trypafl avin and acridine orange exhibited under a fl uorescent microscope green fl uorescence of the cytoplasm and red-orange fl uorescence of the granules. Morphofunctional analysis of platelets was carried out on the cells from donor blood, donor concentrated platelets, and cells from hematological patients and patients with thromboembolic complications. Populations with low (16 %) and high (2 %) morphofunctional activities of platelets were detected among donors. The morphofunctional parameters of platelets were sharply reduced in hematological patients with the hemorrhagic syndrome and elevated signifi cantly in patients with thromboembolic complications in comparison with donors. The method seemed to be effective for evaluating the platelet quality in donor and patients' blood components.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
