Effect of dual activation with thrombin and collagen on factor V expression on human platelets

Collagen Type Low-Level Factor V COAT-FV
14.5 ± 5.6  36.4 ± 6.9  
III  45.7 ± 13.8 —  
V  19.4 ± 7.5  30.9 ± 9.6  
VI 10.1 ± 3.9  61.6 ± 6.2 
Collagen Type Low-Level Factor V COAT-FV
14.5 ± 5.6  36.4 ± 6.9  
III  45.7 ± 13.8 —  
V  19.4 ± 7.5  30.9 ± 9.6  
VI 10.1 ± 3.9  61.6 ± 6.2 

To activate human platelets, 5 nmol/L thrombin and 20 μg/mL of collagen were used. Surface-bound FV was detected with monoclonal antibody HFV-237 (see “Materials and methods”), and the percentage of platelets expressing FV was then determined by flow cytometry. COAT-FV is defined in Figure 2 as events in region M2; low-level FV represents cells in region M1 minus those in region M2 of Figure 2. Data represent mean ± 1 SD, n = 4.
