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.
