“…My ex vivo results are consistent with these. Without exception, and regardless of whether human or rabbit platelets were used, studies of platelet adherence to aortic suben dothelium after incubation of platelets with ASA in vitro have given consistent resultsno effect with erythrocytes present [2,6,7,10,14] but inhibition in their absence [5][6][7], However, findings in studies of adherence to collagen in vitro have been more varied. My results with human platelets adherent to par ticulate collagen are similar to those obtained in studies using washed rabbit platelets ad herent to collagen-coated cylinders [6], With human platelets and methods similar to mine, ASA inhibited platelet-collagen adher ence in two studies [2,3] but not in two oth ers [9,16].…”
