Flow cytometry analysis of platelet P-selectin expression in whole blood - methodological considerations

Abstract: P-selectin is an adhesion molecule found in the alpha granules of platelets. Activation occurs in response to a range of inflammatory and thrombotic agents resulting in rapid up-regulation. Flow cytometry methods have recently been described for the analysis of platelet P-selectin expression in whole blood. While introducing these methods into our laboratory it was noted that expression could be stimulated, in vitro, in a number of ways. This study shows that red cell lysis, the anticoagulant K3 EDTA and the t… Show more

“…39 Other methods such as fluorescence-activated cell sorting analysis of activationdependent surface markers or b-thromboglobulin plasma levels are more commonly used to assess platelet activation. [40][41][42] Since the fraction of the platelet population that contacts the priming region is rather small ($2%), it would be difficult to detect such low numbers of active platelets among the whole platelet population using these methods. Thus, the combination of platelet margination in flow and a downstream capture region allows for the self-selection of activated platelets, making the current assay more sensitive than any of the bulk fluid-based platelet activation assays.…”

“…from neutrophil degradation start to interfere significantly. The conformation and expression of their membrane-bound adhesion molecules and receptors, however, depend very much on the anticoagulant and transport conditions [40,41]. The temperature speeds up this process, however the cooling of the sample does not prevent it either.…”

“…18,19 After activation, platelets will release proinflammatory chemokine, cytokine and adhesion molecule appear onto its surface, including CD62P and CD40 ligand (CD40L). Interaction between platelet and neutrophyl triggers recruitment of neutrophyles to the inflammed tissue, activates the neutrophyles and it contribute toward host immunity and thrombosis process.…”
