Human platelets were preincubated for 10 minutes with 10 μM LFM-A13 and then were rapidly mixed with 0.1 U/mL thrombin. F-actin content was determined 0.9 second after thrombin stimulation as described in “Materials and methods.” Results shown are presented as percentage of the F-actin content in resting cells and expressed as mean ± SE of 6 independent experiments.

*

P < .001. Fura-2 fluorescence was recorded at excitation wavelengths of 340 nm (for Ca2+ release) and 360 nm (for Ca2+ entry). Values are expressed as mean ± SE of at least 6 runs made on cell preparations from 6 donors and 7 to 10 separate experiments

P < .05
